			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is it?<br />
Multi payment payday loans allow the borrower to repay the loan in multiple installments as opposed to paying it off at the next payday.</p>
<p>What are the advantages?<br />
The advantages to the borrower is that lenders that offer this service will often provide this facility at lower cost than compared to the penalties that are incurred if the borrower actually require more time to repay the loan. This multi payment facility is especially advantageous if the borrower is aware at outset that they will have difficulty paying the loan in full at the repayment date. Lenders will also often pro rata the fees if the loan was paid in full earlier than the period of installment plan that was originally put in place.</p>

Usually a fax of pay stubs, bank statements and drivers license is required. However fax less payday lenders will verify these information by calling the employer and asking if the applicant is working at the company but not disclosing who is calling and requesting a fax of bank statement from the bank after it is authorized by the borrower.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Payday loans may seem like the easy way out. There is no face to face contact, money magically appears in your account with no hassle apart from filling out a couple of forms.</p>
<p>Problems solved…</p>
<p>Until the you fall into debt trap, loan extension, penalty fees, recycle etc</p>
<p>Before jumping into payday loans it is worth considering the alternatives to payday loans. Have you considered the following:</p>
<p>Cash Advances on Credit Cards<br />
Credit card cash advance is probably the first place to try with APR that are much more reasonable compared to payday loans. There are credit card companies out there that can help those with credit issues obtain a credit card. Don’t assume that this is a dead end.</p>
<p>Negotiate with creditors<br />
Don’t be afraid to talk to your creditors to sort a reasonable plan for paying back what they are owed. The chance of paying back existing debt is not going to increase if you get yourself into a debt trap.</p>
<p>Credit Unions Loans<br />
Credit unions often offers loans to its members with reasonable interest rates.</p>
<p>Overdraft protection<br />
Although not a loan, signing up for overdraft facility will prevent checks bouncing from your account when not sufficient funds are in there to cover the cheque. This will prevent costly check bounce fees from incurring.</p>
<p>Microloans<br />
This is something new and worth a try. This is a website platform for matching borrowers and individual lenders together. Borrowers bid for loans while lenders lend money according to the interest rates offered by the borrowers and their cause.<br />
<a href="http://www.prosper.com/referrals/borrower.aspx?referrer=nooblender&amp;utm_source=referrer-nooblender&amp;utm_medium=referral-button&amp;utm_content=borrower_dark-120x60&amp;utm_campaign=referrals-borrower"><img border="0" width="120" src="http://www.prosper.com/images/referrals/referral_borrower_dark120x60.gif" alt="Business &amp; Personal Loans. Great Rates. Prosper." height="60" /></a></p>
<p>At end of the day, don’t be afraid to talk to your family and friends, they are going to think you are even more foolish for getting yourself into a trap that cannot not recover from than lending a few hundred dollars to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Identity theft and fraud is a very real threat with the spread of the online business and the natural tendency of consumers to lower their guard when they reach their comfort zone. It is important that the payday lender you choose has policies for maintaining high level of security and privacy.<br />
The information that is shared with the lender are very sensitive information that can also be used for identity theft.<br />
Check that the lender uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to transfer and safeguard personal information. Some lenders even add another layer of security by using proprietary software for encrypting client information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is important to distinguish between financial institutions which actually approve and lend monies versus matching services provided by a company. Matching services collect the necessary financial details and catch the applicant with lenders. Matching services are just that and they do not make the decision on the approvals or do not make any guarantees on service levels.<br />
Matching service provider websites usually have a disclosure clause at the bottom of the webpage indicating it is a matching service.</p>
<p>Some disadvantages of this service include not knowing which lender your details will be forwarded to, in effect they are lead generators, these information are on sold to direct lenders.<br />
Also the application forms tend to automatically sign up applicant to email and sms lists. This should be noted and look for the option to opt out. Some websites seem to sign up the applicant to mailing lists once they submit the form without giving applicant a chance to opt out.<br />
However matching services in theory should have some advantages in that it should increase the chance of approval as the borrower will be matched to the lender.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cost of Borrowing</strong><br />
The single most important feature of any product and loans being no exception is the cost associated with it. Typically the cost of payday loans are measured through the Annual Percentage Rate (APR%) which annualizes the interest cost associated with the short term borrowing.</p>
<p>The average cost of 14 day term payday loans ranges between 400%–800% with shorter term loans having higher APR. Although APR measure is a useful measure for comparison purposes it is also important to note the dollar costs associated with the loan.<br />
In comparison other forms of cash advances like credit card cash advances incur an APR cost of approximately 60%.</p>
<p><strong>Loan Features</strong><br />
How fast does the loan get approved? Some with urgent needs will be interested in the speed at which the payday loan is approved.<br />
Is the lender flexible with the loan amounts?</p>
<p><strong>Customer Service and Ease of Navigation</strong><br />
What are the customer service like, are emails and phone queries answer promptly?<br />
Is the website user friendly?</p>
<p><strong>Application Process</strong><br />
Is the application process straight forward or is it onerous?<br />
Is it truly fax free and hence does not require bank statements, phone bills etc to be faxed?</p>

<p>Automatic renewals<br />
Look out for payday loans that automatically renew every payday hence withdrawing the finance charge at every pay date.</p>
<p>Debt Trap<br />
Don’t get caught in the debt trap cycle. The short term and high costs of payday loans may trap borrowers causing the loan to be extended at every payday in order to keep up.</p>
<p>Credit History and Bounced Checks<br />
Unpaid loans usually mean bounced checks which incurs bank fees. If a history of bounced checks develop the borrowers credit rating will be negatively affected.</p>
<p>Legal Risk<br />
Some lenders may use strong arm tactics to coerce repayment, eg threat of criminal charges, legal action</p>

<p>Payday loans size are range typically between $250-$1500 with terms of 14 days or 30 days.</p>
<p>Payday loans are usually required for emergency needs, often thus requiring funds on short notice are typically of low credit standings, hence why the lender has to charge equivalent interests that are a few times the normal range of APRs of alternative forms of lendings.</p>
