As we enter the New Year, finances may be a little tight as we all try to recover from the Christmas excesses. In that situation, a cash loan advance may come in very handy.
What is a cash loan advance?
It is a facility that may enable you to borrow somewhere between £100-£500 quickly and with only limited formalities.
Applications may be completed online and if approved (you may receive an almost instant decision) the money may be sent to your bank account electronically and be available within as little as an hour or two of your initial application.
What can I spend the money on?
Typically, anything you wish. There may be no questions at all relating to the purpose of your request.
How long do I have to repay it?
This form of borrowing (also sometimes referred to as direct payday loans) is intended for short duration requirements.
Typically, the amount borrowed plus the lender’s charges will be repaid in one single sum sometime in the area of your next or next-but-one payday.
You may find options for more flexible periods but it should be remembered that these products might not be suitable for longer-term borrowing or for managing other debts/debt consolidation.
How much is this likely to cost me?
That depends very much on how much you borrow, for how long and from what payday lender.
The terms, conditions and tariffs of providers may vary by a considerable degree and shopping around is typically advisable.
What happens if I cannot pay it back on the agreed date?
If you notify the provider in advance that you may struggle to make the agreed date, you may find that they will be perfectly willing to agree a revised date but as you might expect, this may involve you in additional charges.
Simply not paying the money back on the agreed date is not recommended, as not only may you incur additional charges but this may also communicate a degree of irresponsibility.
If you wish to be able to secure a future cash loan advance, your reputation may be highly important and it is therefore something you should seek to protect.
