If Bad Credit Payday Loans Disappear Who Will Lend Unsecured Cash to Poor People
Although bad credit payday personal loans offer unsecured cash for poor people, the federal government proposes changes that could completely terminate this financial lifeline.
Just imagine: You need $500 quick to cover an emergency situation, and so you logon to the internet seeking fast cash. If you have fair enough credit you could get a credit card, but it can take days before you're approved and before you receive your account number. If; however, you're one of the millions of bad credit people you may not get approved for a credit card, and if you do it may first cost you several hundred dollars in fees. So then you seek secured loan sources, such as equity loans. Once again; however, if you have bad credit you may get rejected and even if you get approved it can take days before you get the cash in hand.
At least for now, there is a way to get fast cash even if you have bad credit, and without having to pay upfront fees. We're talking; of course, about payday personal loans, also called cash advances. But if federal regulators have their way, they'll impose laws that will drive out payday loans altogether. Apparently, since regulator attempts to squash payday loans nationwide have thus far failed, they now want to impose steep laws that will make offering payday loans unprofitable.
Michael Calhoun, the head of the Center for Responsible Lending who endorses HR 1214 (the Payday Loan Reform Act of 2009 for imposing limits), states payday loans should be capped at 36% APR.
At that rate, issuing an unsecured loan of $200 for one month would generate only $6 in interest for the payday lender. That's not worth the time to issue the loan, perform accounting and collection, not to mention also not enough incentive to the lender to risk borrower default.
So, if legislatures drive payday loan lenders out of business, who will front emergency loans to bad credit people?
If HR 1214 is enacted, bad credit people will likely have to resort to borrowing from loan sharks, with a rate far, far higher than payday lender fees and much less polite collection on people who default repayment.
Obviously, regulators only look at the potential bad side of credit products. Surely every line of credit; from credit cards to loans, can have devastating affects if not responsibly used and timely repaid. But what about the bad side of what may have happened if someone was unable to get credit, regardless of the fee? For example: What if a person was unable to get $1500 loan to replace their car's transmission, and subsequently lost their job due to being unable to get to work? If regulators chase off; or altogether ban, payday lenders, who will lend these people cash within 24 hours, and without a credit check? The legislatures? Doubtful, unless you're a huge corporation seeking a bailout.
