Stopping the Cycle of Payday Lending Debt, says PaydayRate
March 02, 2010 -New York, New York — Payday loans can be very beneficial for people who are in need of a short term loan that they can pay back by their next paycheck to save themselves from a small financial crisis. One never knows when an emergency will arise, so having a payday loan option can be very beneficial for many people. However, many people, especially in Wisconsin, have noticed how many people have fallen into a cycle of debt especially among the young and the low income families, due to taking out these short term loans.
In order to fight against the traps of lending companies, a group of legislators are finally speaking up for those who have been taken advantage of. This group is looking to eliminate auto title loans, restrict the loans to $600 and only allowing borrowers to take out one payday loan at a time. One of the amendments that did not make the cut was the interest cap rate of 36 percent which would have helped borrowers to not be taken advantage of. Many people believe that if the interest cap is included and approved, that the entire pay day lending industry would be eliminated along with the valuable option of turning to a payday loan in the case of a financial emergency.
Payday loans are normally taken out for an amount between $250 and $2500 with borrowers being allowed to take out more than one loan at a time. This encouraged a lot of roll overs and enhancing one’s cycle of debt. Large interest rates that reach into the hundreds are charged which make it nearly impossible for people to get out of debt. The payday lending industry may be under attack but it is not without reason. The decision surrounding payday lending will be difficult as these companies will be losing millions of dollars, their existence is threatened and the borrowers who are responsible may not have the option for a loan during their most difficult period.
Josh Jackson, Spokesperson for PaydayRate says, “The choice will be difficult for voting on the future of payday loans. ”
