The real cost of APR


Friday, November 27th, 2009

Payday loans are geared to be paid off within a month of borrowing in order to make this as simple and cost-effective for customers as possible.

When you consider APR (annual percentage rate),  which is calculated across 12 months on loans and credit cards, the cost of APR on those loans is far greater than the one-off fee for borrowing money for a month on a payday loan.

Over the last few months, most major credit card companies have increased their APR, which means that whatever you had already borrowed, you are now going to have to pay back much more if you cannot pay your credit card faster.

APR with payday loans is more affordable, especially when you consider that the agreement has been set up for no longer than a month.

When you borrow money from credit card companies, bank loans and payday loans lenders, you will pay their APR which may vary. However, APRs are currently higher than they have been in recent years from credit card providers and on some bank loans.

At www.247Moneybox.com you will be charged a one-off interest payment based on the amount borrowed. In this way, the APR is clear and you know exactly how much you have to pay back in total. With a payday loan you always know where you stand as the costs are clear and upfront and there are no hidden charges.

We have the ideal cost-effective solution, with fast cash when you need to borrow money for a short time until you are next due your salary packet.



Government cutbacks make payday loans more attractive


Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

As payday loans in the UK increase in popularity, there are more people benefitting from a financial lifeline which will keep them going until their next paycheque.

As the government has started to concentrate on cutbacks that will impact all of us, monthly salaries are not stretching as far as they once were.

Recent changes that have a huge impact on the general public include benefits removed or lowered, and cutbacks within the NHS, local councils and civil service. Now more than ever, cash loans are a great short-term option when you need a fast loan for an emergency.

A recent survey carried out through the nurses organisation Unison showed that poor pay deals, increased workloads and job insecurity are all on the rise as the new government cuts are brought in.

The myth that workers within the public sector were considered immune from the worst effects of the current recession has very quickly been dispelled.

Now with higher fuel costs pertaining to gas and electric bills, including price rises on petrol and public transport, it is no wonder that there may be some months when a person’s salary will not cover all their overheads.

As the impact of the recession begins to affect us all, and if you are struggling to meet important unexpected bills this month, then don’t have sleepless nights. Visit us at www.247Moneybox.com where we can give you clear and straightforward advice as to whether taking a payday loan would be the right financial option for you.



Are my details safe with payday loan companies?


Friday, November 20th, 2009

Companies have become much better at preventing fraudulent intervention when it comes to applying for payday loans online. At www.247Moneybox.com, we take fraud prevention very seriously and we use a number of methods to verify that our customers are who they say they are. We have a range of highly technical fraud prevention tools which are used during our customer’s online application process. Everything we do online is secure, so that we can give all our customers complete peace of mind when applying for fast loans.

Reporting fraudulent activity is paramount and we can expose any individual using fraudulent means to obtain money, including stealing another person’s identity, which of course is a criminal matter handled by the police.

As we run a service which provides customers with a small cash sum to help them to pay for unexpected expenses, it is a process with a quick turnaround time. Online payday loans which are accessible quickly to a customer are an essential part of our service. The process involves a safe and secure online loan form (it is a paperless process), and approval can be given very quickly, sometimes even the same day.

Due to the slick process that is being used to confirm payday loans, it can attract potential fraudsters who feel they will be less susceptible to being found out if they don’t have to produce identity documents (which may of course be false or stolen).

At www.247Moneybox.com, we can guarantee that fraudsters will never get through our application service, which remains an easy and fast way for genuine customers to receive crucial and time-sensitive loans.



How to find responsible payday loans lenders


Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

The provision of payday loans in the UK is a growing service that is gaining in popularity, especially in the current financial climate.

When you come to look for cash loans, you need to be selective about whom you borrow the money from, because not all companies are reputable and you don’t want to increase the worries over your financial situation – this is about helping you out in the short term.

There are various ways to check information, and if you choose to read online forums make sure that you read a number of them about the same company, to ensure that you are not getting misleading advice from one person who may have abused a company’s payday loans conditions.

Aside from this, it is possible to check the company registration of the payday lender to see how long they have been trading under their company name and if they are owned by another finance company. If for example you find that there is a holding company for the payday loans lender you are researching, then also check the financial and trading status of that holding company. All this can be done by checking the company registration number through the Companies House website.

At www.247Moneybox.com we pride ourselves on being one of the largest and most reputable payday loans lenders in the UK; we offer the customer clear terms and conditions and we implement responsible lending policies. Please visit our website — our customer support team are happy to answer any questions you might have.



Should you believe all that you read about payday loans?


Friday, November 13th, 2009

It is fair to say that over the course of time payday loans have managed to gain a tough reputation, and there are many places on the internet where you can read details from people who are attacking payday loans lenders for their inability at gaining instant cash help.

In most of these situations, the person has already taken payday loans and has abused them and not paid them back, thus breaking the terms and conditions of the payday loans lender. If you are one of those people who want some extra cash for luxuries, but have no way to find the cash from your next paycheque to pay it back, you will incur extra charges and the whole process could become very expensive for you.

The best way to make use of cash loans is to borrow responsibly and to use the money wisely – because you need to, not just because you want to. If you abide by the straightforward conditions of your payday loans lender then there will be no problem with using the service, no hidden charges and no obstacles to getting a fast loan in advance of your next payday.

In fact, payday loans can be a sensible option for many reasons, not least to alleviate a temporary cash-flow problem.

Many people will use payday loans to cover them for sudden house repairs which cannot be postponed for fear of them becoming worse and hence costing more money to sort out, or other such unexpected bills.

Applying for payday loans is a fast process, and should you need fast cash loans for urgent repairs and your application is approved, you will have the cash put directly into your bank account within a rapid response time.

At www.247Moneybox.com we pride ourselves on being a long-established, reputable financial organisation, and we have helped thousands of people with payday loans in the UK.



Economic crises still hitting us in the pocket


Monday, November 9th, 2009

Payday loans offer a way to solve  the problem of a shortage of available funds, should you have to pay urgent bills before your next pay packet is due. Payday loans in the UK are now on the rise, as more and more people are finding it difficult to cover such items as quarterly fuel bills. Fuel discounts have not been passed to the customer in many cases and gas and electric bills are higher than ever.

When it is impossible to cover the expense of credit card bills - some of which have seen a hike in interest rates as many financial organisations have ‘moved the goalposts’ - it seems that the amount you once owed on a credit card could become more difficult to pay off.

These are worrying times for many people and cash loans are proving to be a lifeline, offering more affordable rates than those you would find from large credit organisations on the high street.

Add together the fears over public sector cuts, staff shortages and heavier workloads for less pay than before, and every penny counts to the individual in this day and age.

One of the main political issues at the forefront of discussion today is the cuts that will affect public spending, which in turn will affect our health service, education services and public transport.

At www.247Moneybox.com we can offer payday loans for those people who are finding it difficult to stretch the cost of their pay packets to cover additional bills and high-interest credit card debts.
