If your question relates to your specific loan offer, for example if it is about the payment of your loan or if need to discuss your repayments, please talk to your lender directly. Payday Loans Texas are only here to introduce you to your lender and have no control over the terms or administration of your loan.
Q 1. What is the difference between a payday loan and a cash advance?
There is no difference between a ‘payday loan’ and a ‘cash advance’ and the two terms can be used interchangeably. They are very short duration loans aimed at helping customers to deal with a sudden or unexpected cash flow problem, such as that caused by an auto repair bill or similar. These loans are usually for between $100 and $1000 and they are usually repaid on your next payday, although the exact terms can vary between lenders.
Q 2. Am I eligible for an online payday loan?
In order for you to be eligible for an online payday loan, you will need to be able to answer yes to the following questions
- Are you currently employed?
- Have you been in your current job for at least the last 90 days?
- Are you over 18 years of age?
- Are a United States citizen or do you have permanent residency?
- Is your salary in excess of $1000 per month, after tax?
- Do you have valid contact details, including an email address and both work and home telephone numbers?
Q 3. How much money can I borrow in an online payday loan?
Q 4. Is the money transferred directly into my bank account?
Q 5. Can I access an online payday loan even if I have been declared bankrupt or have a poor credit rating?
Q 6. How long will I need to wait to access my loan?
Q 7. Can the whole process be completed online?
Q 8. How much will my online payday loan cost?
Payday loans Texas will never charge you for using our services. The overall cost of your online payday loan will depend on the terms and conditions of the lender you choose. You will always be informed about the relevant costs before you finalise your loan, but please consider how you will make your repayments before you proceed. Payday loans are not designed for longer term lending and can prove very expensive if late payment fees or charges are incurred.
Q 9. Am I able to have multiple online payday loans at one time?
Q 10. How do the loan repayments work?
Most of our lenders offer you the option to have the repayments taken directly from your checking account. This can be a good idea, as it means that you do not accidently forget to repay your loan and suffer late payment charges as a result. If you have made this form of arrangement, it is possible to arrange an extension with your lender before the payment due date is reached, although this will usually involve an additional fee.
Q 11. What is the policy regarding late payments?
Q 12. Is my personal data secure?
Q 13. How soon am I able to access another online payday loan?
Q 14. Is it possible to obtain and extension on my payday loan? What if I need more than one extension?
When discussing payday loans and cash advances, an extension is more commonly referred to as a rollover. Different states have differing regulations on rollovers of payday loans, as some allow unlimited rollovers and others do not permit any. If you have questions about getting a rollover, or if you are having trouble repaying your debt, it is essential that you contact your lender immediately. All of your lenders are experienced in helping clients who are struggling to repay their loans and are happy to discuss your options. The earlier you make the call, the easier it is to resolve your difficulties and making the request after your loan is due will usually result in higher fees and possibly in the full sum becoming due immediately.
