Making it through to Pay Day with Payday Loans

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

It is something that can happen to the best of us, you have had a month of unexpected expenses, your car has just gone wrong and you need to get it mended. You need your car to get to work so you must have the car repaired. The local garage will fix it quickly and are very competitive; however they will not do the work on account or accept credit cards. If you withdraw anymore cash from your current account you will go into an unauthorised overdraft and your bank has one of the highest overdraft fees in the industry. Although you may not consider it to be one of the best solutions to a scenario like this, obtaining a payday loans really makes sense if it is only two more weeks to payday.

Payday loans are cash advances designed to help individuals out financially in the short term. The loan is usually paid directly into a bank account, often within 24 hours of the application being agreed. The repayment along with the interest is taken directly from the borrower’s bank account on the due date. Most lenders will charge you interest for the complete period of 30 days and even if you pay the advance back early lenders still expect the whole interest amount. However in this scenario of having only two weeks to go until your next pay day, a far better option is to consider one of the few lenders who only charge interest for the days that you actually borrow the money.

Remember that an unauthorised overdraft can be just as expensive as many payday loans, with some banks charging over £100 for an unauthorised overdraft. So for smaller amounts payday loans can make perfect sense if it this means you can avoid these extremely high bank charges.

Top Tips for Parents on Saving Money During the Summer Holidays

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Many of us here at Loan Advances understand that our lives now become that little bit harder with the breakup of children for their 6 week summer holidays. Yes, the teachers do deserve a break as they finish the long term and so do the children and young people after a long term studying hard. ”But do they really need 6 weeks?” has been a regular part of the conversation in the LoanAdvances.com payday loans offices for team members who have children. As a parent myself I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my children, but the financial cost of entertaining them can add up. A trip to the park, albeit free, often has to include ice cream, drinks or anything else that takes there fancy after they have spent 2 hours running around. To help parents with the financial demands of the summer holidays I have decided to list some tips for parents who want to save their pennies during the (hopefully) sunny break:

  • Take sandwiches on your outings – this will save you a fortune on cafe/restaurant costs
  • Look for coupon deals online through money saving websites – if you feel that you need to dine out whilst you are out with your children, then take advantage of the money saving deals out there
  • Don’t spend a fortune on expensive gadgets for your children to play locked away in their bedrooms as the sun shines outside (again, hopefully!). Engaging directly with children is far more beneficial for their emotional development!
  • Go local to find free days out – a walk in the local forest or down a beach near to where you live and, although there may be some moaning about the trip, children love playing outdoors
  • Team up with friends and have joint trips together – this will save money on fuel costs as well as giving adults and children additional company – BBQ and game of rounder’s anyone?
