    Payday lenders know that you are in financial troubles when you take a loan from them becaue if you need a payday loan, you are OBVIOUSLY in financial troubles already

    This is why personal finance education NEEDS to be taught in schools from a young age. Just simple money principles such as LIVING ON LESS THAN YOU EARN and having an EMERGENCY FUND from early on will prevent you from ever needing to get to this point.
    These companies know exactly what they are doing and I am sure they will continue to find loopholes whenever regulations change!

      For a lot of people, having an emergency fund isn't really an option.

    If you borrow £1000, you might have to pay back £1800, so you are really just burning £800 to have the money quicker.
    Makes more sense to live in a tent than make your situation worse.

    Personal finance should be taught at school. The schools should say have an emergency account and save money for Christmas. The schools should teach how to budget with your income.

    I totally agree with one of the people here, that the vast majority who use such places, should not be able to get any loans.
    There should be protections against people falling to such predator companies, exploiting people who should not be able to get loans, and essentially making there situation worse.

      Also owned by hedge funds. As you correctly say, they deliberately use a different name to disguise the fact that they are taking advantage of the most vulnerable in society.

    American government at least capped the interest on these kinds of loans, as did every other country in Western Europe, except the UK. The present government has allowed pay day loan companies to charge 4000% on loans like these, and on numbers of occasions loans of a few hundred pound have spiralled into several thousands, causing some people to commit suicide or at least driven into despair and hopelessness.

      Its easy to blame the person. Being on zero hours contract, not knowing if you will make rent, not knowing if you will be able to feed your kids, this drives people to payday loans because other banks won't touch them.

    • @bryanchadwell3385
      @bryanchadwell3385 6 років тому

      Fake news...irresponsibility...1000% interest???? Get real. The annual percentage rate maybe 300 to 400 percent IF you have the loan for an entire year!!! If you are borrowing and paying back on time in the short period you were meant to, you are only paying 15 to 20 percent, cheaper than many other unchecked big bank credit such as cards and such. The facts are inflamed because big banks hate payday lenders and dont want anyone borrowing from anyone but themselves. People need to get educated before listening to this garbage and fake news. If you cant afford to borrow, DON'T. If you do then know what you are doing and pay off your loan as you agreed to and stop trying to play a victim. In fact, look at many of these videos, "comments are disabled", i'm really surprised this one allows comments, because they dont want a discussion or exchange of facts, just their twisted, fictional perception. In the US, this has been investigated by the legislature and the CFPB and found that it is not the evil conspiracy these morons would have you think.

      Nikki R We don’t “always” lend people money they must have a reasonable income and verifiable pay cycle with an active bank account. There are plenty of people that we turn down every day. We are in the business of helping people through rough spots not taking advantage of people who can’t pay.

    it's not about taking out a loan & not paying it back Payday loans are illegal in most states & even alot of banks could get into trouble for allowing it to happen. (especially in states where it's illegal). These payday loan companies need to be stopped.

      @joeathisbest2 8 років тому +8

      that statement is easier said than done. I used to work at a payday loan place. these are people who more often than not have bad credit and are denied loans at your regular bank and or credit union.

      Drinks were probably paid for by the television company. Payday loan companies deliberately hide the interest rate (often 2,000%) in the small print.

    That's bull,listening to thos is just a complete scan. You ask to see a paycheck stub and base on that the company should decide what the amount they should trust them with. If they make $400 a week why would you loan them $400 for a payday loan next payday they will have only that $400. Sounds like the wellfargo bank scan back in the day.
