The only constant factor in life is change, and change can make or break a man. The present economic slowdown has brought about a lot of financial crunch in the lives of the people and more and more people are in urgent need of money. In an emergency an individual can always acquire payday loans.

A person must be over 18 years of age, must hold either a credit card or checking account and have a permanent means of income to avail of this facility. Another criteria is that the individual requesting for an advance must be drawing a salary of at least $1000 every month. The borrowed amount must necessarily be paid back on the on the next payday.

In some point of a person’s life there arises circumstances when there is an emergency and has urgent need for cash, and cannot afford to wait for his next salary to settle those accounts. That is when a payday cash advance turns out to be the most favorable option.

Such loans are generally small loans for a short period of time. The term for a loan of this sort is usually about two weeks or till the borrower’s next payday and typically the minimum amount that can be borrowed is as low as $50 to $100 and the maximum amount varies between $1000 and $1500 depending on the emergency and the requirement of the person.

These days cash advances can be claimed within a matter of twenty four hours and there is no hassle as far as applying for one is concerned. After verification of an application requesting for an advance, the processing is almost immediate and the money is transferred into the borrower’s bank account.

A number of companies offer cash advance. They do not deem it necessary to verify your credit status, as such loans are usually carried out through employment verification and the amount is taken directly from the borrower’s checking account on his next salary day.

The services that offer cash advances generally charge a very high rate of interest, almost as high as 30 % of the amount borrowed, so it would be advisable to do some good investigation about the different cash advance companies and compare their rates of interest and their plans of payment before eventually settling for one. It is vital to select one that will comply with your requirements and charge lower rates of interest.

Cash advances can now be obtained online, thanks to the age of the internet, where an individual has the options to search for a lender who can comply to his needs. The procedures are very simple and one does not have to go through any hassles to obtain an advance and they cater to the emergency of the person applying for it. As uncomplicated and clear cut as it is, remember that advances must be utilized sensibly. Because in spite of the fact that they are helpful in times of urgency, they can do more harm if one is not cautious. The borrower must ensure that he must borrow only what he really needs, or not it will only complicate matters for him.

Cash Advance FAQ:

Question: What can a collection agency do?
About two or three years ago I took out a $100 dollar cash advance out on my Bank of America credit card. Then I couldn’t pay them back and last time I checked I owed a ton of money. Granted it might only be a couple thousand but to me, who works a part time job making $200 if I’m lucky, that’s a lot of money. So today I got a call from I’m assuming a collection agency asking me about some account and if I planned to do anything with it. I’m not sure if it was them or not but just wondering what they can do against me, legally.

Answer: Sue and have court costs added to your debt. Freeze your bank accounts and take your money, garnishee your salary and destroy your credit for the next 10 years.

Question: Get about $700 in a week and a half?
I know someone who needs about $700 in a week and a half to pay for car insurance. This person has no credit history so a loan isn’t feasible. Everybody the person knows has said no to lending them money or co-signing a loan. I was reading about cash advances on credit cards and was wondering if getting a credit card and getting a cash advance is a feasible idea. Obviously they’d be in debt temporarily. Other details include the person is a student in college working part time. The other idea that seems doable is one of those “no credit check automatic loan” type of things. The problem with them is how trustworthy they are.

Answer: That person will not be able to get a legitimate loan for such a reason. That person needs to realize that paying car insurance is a fixed bill that will have to be paid again and again. That means you either have the income to be able to afford the car (including the insurance) or else you sell the car and get a bus ticket.

If you can’t afford the maintenance on the car… give it up or get a job and ask your insurance to take monthly payments instead of a 6 month lump sum payment.

“no credit check automatic loans” are 99.9% scam. The moment they ask you to send them money first (usually to pay for some kind of fee) you are being scammed. That money will be gone and you won’t see a penny for it.

Question: Is it ok to run my personal credit card through a store that is owned by myself to avoid cash advance fees?

Answer: No, technically that is fraud, but you could probably do it. Just hope you don’t get caught because that would mean the end of your credit card.

Question: How do I take a cash advance from a credit card?
I have a Bestbuy Visa card (This is an actual Visa card that I just get points for bestbuy stores, I can use it anywhere) that is not linked to my online banking or convenience card. I have available funds and want to take a small cash advance off this card. Can I stick this card into an ATM? What are the ways I can take out a cash advance on this card?

Answer: You need to call the credit card company and get a pin number and to find out what ATM’s you can use. Then you will be able to get a cash advance. You should be warned that the fees and interest rates on cash advances are very high.

Question: If you get a cash advance at a casino, can you pay back the advance at the casino?
This is a little weird question. Basically, if I got a cash advance of $100 at a casino, but I didn’t want it to show up on my credit card billing statement next month, can I pay back the $100+fees at the casino? The way you can return credit card purchases at a store (which results in the original purchase disappearing from the bill)? I know, seems like a long shot…basically I just don’t want the cash advance to show up on my statement at all.

Answer: Where is the casino? In some casinos if the casino itself advanced the cash then you can pay the advance. In other places the casino can act as the fiduciary and draw the cash from a bank. If so, the bank is the entity providing the advance. If so, it will reflect.

Question: Can I get a payday cash advance loan?
I am currently employed but don’t have a checking account, can I get a payday cash advance loan?

Answer: Don’t do it. Those places charge a ridiculous amount of interest and once you take out one it’s so hard to end the cycle because on payday you will be paying them back then you’ll be broke from paying them back and have to take another one. It just keeps going on and on like this.

Question: Can someone give me an advice on credit card?
I just got my first credit card and I have some questions. Yesterday I went to the bank to pay my bill from shaw cable, the girl in the bank told me that I shouldn’t do that cause the interest will run at that time. My question is why? I thought that that is just for cash advances, and I don’t think that is cash advance. I also would like to pay everything with my new card expensive things and cheap things, is this recommendable? And my last question is about the internet purchases, should I buy things over the Internet? I think it’s cheaper, the interest will start the date of the purchase or not?

Answer: Some companies allow you to use your credit card for “pre-authorized payment”, these transactions are treated as normal purchases and are subject to the “grace period” before interest begins accumulating.

Some companies do NOT allow credit card payment and so paying these bills through the teller makes this transaction a cash advance (the teller effectively takes cash off your card to pay the bill). These transactions will IMMEDIATELY begin collecting interest. Call the cable company and ask if they can just bill your credit card each month, they may be able to help.

Generally speaking any purchases you make will be treated as purchases not cash advances (this includes internet purchases but NOT things like online gambling “top-ups” and so forth).

There is no real problem using the credit card for small purchases, just make sure it is actually a purchase and not a cash advance.

Question: Is it good to use those fast-cash places?
I need roughly $700 advanced to me. I can pay it all back within 2 months it’s just I really need to pay off 3 things right now and I don’t know how long it would take to get a signature loan through Navy Federal Credit Union. So is it ok to use these fast-cash or check-into-cash places? Or does it mark you permanently as someone who can’t handle bills?

Answer: You’re talking about a Pay Day loan, and no it doesn’t affect your credit, but it sure costs and arm and a leg. If you get a pay day loan, it becomes due on the next pay day, not in two months. You’re much better off waiting for your credit union loan!
