Short-term loans represent a type of emergency borrowing meant to help you with immediate financial issues. They can only become pricey products once you use them for long-term purposes.

PaydayMe.com‘s operator and owner is not a lender, so he isn’t involved in making credit decisions that include lending and making loan offers. This website actually works as a matching service, helping you contact with lenders and third parties. You are not charged any fee for our service. Moreover, you are not forced to initiate contact with any lender or third party or accept any of their offers.

The data that is presented on our website regarding short-term loans and the industry is here for information purposes only. We do not uphold a particular lender, and we’re not responsible for a lender’s actions or inactions. Moreover, PaydayMe.com doesn’t collect or store your data concerning fees and charges associated with the lenders. Basically, we don’t have access to this data in the first place.

Not every state approves of short-term loans. Also, not every lender in our network is able to provide loans of up to $1,000. We don’t guarantee that a consumer will get approval for any loan product or lender or will be matched with a lender. If matched, it doesn’t mean he/she will receive the requested short-term loan.

In addition, a lender may want to do a credit verification. This takes place to ensure that you have a reliable credit, and to determine the scopes of credit products to offer. Additional verification may be needed, including your driving license number, social security number, national ID or other documents that help with identification. Keep in mind that scopes vary from one lender to another based on various factors. These factors include the terms determined by each lender and credit standing of the applicant.

APR Representative

Annual Percentage Rate, or APR, is the loan rate that’s calculated for the annual term. Considering PaydayMe.com isn’t a lender and doesn’t own information about any detail of short-term loans offered by individual lenders, they can’t estimate the APR. So, the APR provided won’t be the exact one charged by any of the loan products lenders offer.

APRs are very different from one lender to another, one state to another and they depend on various factors, including the credit standing of an applicant. There may be additional charges associated with the loan offer. Some of these charges include late payment, late payment reporting, non-payment penalties, and debt collection actions.

These actions have nothing to do with our website. Moreover, we do not have any information about actions taken by the lenders. The financial and non-financial charges and actions can be disclosed in a particular agreement in a clean manner.

The APR is calculated as the annual charge, and it’s not a financial charge for a short-term loan.

Late Payment Implications

If something happens and you won’t be able to repay a loan on time, it is recommended you contact the lender. Once this happens, late payment charges and fees may be applied. Federal and state regulations may vary from one case to another, and they are determined for late payment cases. Information regarding costs and procedures when it comes to late payment should be discussed before signing any related document. So, make sure you review these with your lender, and they will be disclosed in the loan agreement.

Non-payment Implications

If you don’t pay a loan or miss the payment, there may be some financial and non-financial penalties. Any financial charges or fees in case of late payments should be disclosed in the loan agreement. Other actions related to non-payment, renewals, for instance, may be implied upon given consent. Renewal terms are going to be disclosed in each loan agreement individually. Keep in mind that renewal may also come with additional fees and charges.

Debt collection practices and any similar procedure will possibly be performed. Any action related to these practices is adjusted to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act regulations. It is also adjusted to other applicable state and federal laws to ensure the consumers’ protection against negative borrowing and unfair lending experiences. Most lenders don’t refer to outside collection agencies. They will rather collect the debt through in-house means.

Late payment and non-payment may significantly impact a borrowers’ credit score and decrease it. Lenders may report these bad experiences to credit bureaus, including Transunion, Equifax, and Experian. If this happens, the consequences of late payment or non-payment will stay in a borrower’s credit reports for a certain amount of time.

Customer notice: Short-term loans are not intended to be long-term financial solutions. Customers with credit difficulties should seek credit counseling. A single payday advance is typically for two to four weeks. However, borrowers often use these loans over a period of months, which can be expensive.

Equal Credit Opportunity Rights notice: The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington DC 20006 and the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington DC 20580.
