Comments on: How do I get out of the payday advance trap? http://www.cashpayadvance.org/300-payday-advance/how-do-i-get-out-of-the-payday-advance-trap/ A Weblog about My Cash Pay Advance Sun, 20 May 2012 22:59:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: RAY http://www.cashpayadvance.org/300-payday-advance/how-do-i-get-out-of-the-payday-advance-trap/#comment-6427 RAY Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:21:28 +0000 http://www.cashpayadvance.org/how-do-i-get-out-of-the-payday-advance-trap/#comment-6427 The problem with payday advance or loans or credit cards or whatever is spending tomorrow's income before we even earn it. That's not a good way to live and it's showing we have expectations of yourself to buy what we want whether we need it or can afford it because we can always repay it on payday. As you see, that's not a good way to live. Don't beat yourself up over what you've done but learn from it. Your central goal right now has got to be repaying that debt in full as quickly as possible. That might mean cutting back on things or temporarily making extra money on the side. That payday advance MUST be your priority. Do you have things that you can sell (ebay or yard sale)? Every little bit helps... $5 here and $10 there adds up. Can you cut back on cable channels or cell phone services for a couple of months? Can you babysit one night a week for a neighbor? Can you have hot dogs instead of going out to eat one night? Remember it's all about paying for needs instead of wants. Don't get yourself back in the loop of getting another loan to pay the loan that pays the loan, etc. Work on getting out of the cycle before you get run over by it. If you can't have the best of everything, make the best of everything that you have.

I tried it before and they did help me with a considerable debt I had in the past. Hope it helps!

You have to bite the bullet. Do without a lot of things - for those two weeks. They love suckers like you. Sorry to use that expressions. Look - the world does not end if you have to stall on a few bills. Try to get by on the minimum. You will survive those two weeks! Those loan sharks got you sucked in pretty good!

Call them and tell them you cannot afford the payment. They often work with you and lower it so you can pay it off slower. That is the most dangerous thing to do because you cannot get out of it. It takes all of your money to pay it back then you have to borrow more just to get by. If they don't want to work with you then call a credit service. The most reputable one I know of is Consumer Credit Counseling. They make payment arrangements for you and get rid of the interest and late fees. My daughter works for one of those places.
