<h2>Payday loans help in many situations</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-53000" title="Woman with laptop" src="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/7_25106171-288x500.jpg" alt="Woman with laptop" width="288" height="500"  style="display:block;float:right;"/>I know several people who have gotten payday loans for all kinds of different reasons. I&#8217;ve had friends who used them to get their cars back from tow yards that charge hundreds of dollars a day if you leave them there. I&#8217;ve had relatives use payday loans to avoid overdrawing their bank accounts.</p>
<p>So what exactly is a payday loan? A payday loan is a low-rate personal loan that gets cash into your bank account immediately. You can find out instantly if you&#8217;re approved for a low-rate personal loan and have access to your cash in just a couple of hours.</p>
<h3>How do payday loans work?</h3>
<p>When you get a low-rate personal loan through Personal Money Store, you get your cash immediately with no charges up front and no collateral. You can choose to get a traditional payday loan, which you will pay back all at once when you get your next paycheck. At that time, you&#8217;ll pay back your lender&#8217;s fees as well. Did you know that the lender&#8217;s fees on small payday loans, say $100 to $200, are lower than bank overdraft charge fees? Furthermore, payday lenders only charge one-time fees, and banks usually charge $35 for every transaction made after the account is overdrawn.</p>
<p>You can also choose to get your low-rate personal loan in the form of an installment loan. If you need a larger amount of money, up to $1,500, you can pay back your loan with a few payments instead of all at once. Installment loans are great if an essential appliance breaks and other large financial emergencies.</p>
<h3>Apply now for your low-rate personal loan</h3>
<p>If you just need $100 to tide you over and help you avoid a $35 bank overdraft charge, you&#8217;ll save money with a low-rate personal loan. Or, if you need a larger amount of money, check into getting an installment loan. Either way, low-rate personal loans through Personal Money Store can help you save money, get things you need or maintain financial stability, so APPLY NOW!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rising credit card rates and other banking fees, have caused consumers to seek other finance options such as payday loans and debt consolidation to combat financial instability in today&#8217;s economy.</p>
<p>Payday loans have come under a lot of scrutiny from anti industry opponents.  These opponents have deceptively convinced consumers that the payday loans <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/11/18/justice-or-just-excuses-the-payday-loan-industry-debate/" title="Industry is predatory">Industry is predatory</a> in nature.  Many of these opponents are the banks themselves who want to monopolize the loan business to their own advantage.</p>
<p>Ironically, some of the latest fallout from the downward spiraling of the economy is forcing the banks to increase the rates and fees they impose on consumers. Due to the severe losses the banks have incurred, they are now trying to offset the losses over the past year and a half from default mortgage loans, by imposing stricter and higher fees on their customers.</p>
<p>Some of the fee increases are related to the following:</p>
<h3>Overdraft Fees</h3>
<div style="float:right;margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:5px;width: 250px"><img src="http://www.dcafs.on.ca/Portals/0/FEES.jpg" alt="Fees, Fees, And More Fees!" width="240" height="180"  style="display:block;float:right;"/><p class="wp-caption-text">Fees, Fees, And More Fees!</p></div>
<p><a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/11/19/tips-for-avoiding-overdraft-fees/" title="Overdraft fees">Overdraft fees</a> are probably the most  famous of bank fees as their deployment on consumers has caused more than a few uproars.</p>
<p>These fees, which are charged when a customer overdrafts their account or exceeds their account balance, can range from a set fee per overdraft to an escalating scale of charges for each subsequent overdraft.  A typical overdraft charge can be anywhere from $25 to $60, which are higher than the fees for most payday loans.</p>
<h3>Cash Advance Fees</h3>
<p>Cash Advance Fees are charged based upon a set percentage of the amount withdrawn from an available credit line.</p>
<h3>Minimum Balance Fees</h3>
<p>Minimum balance fees are charged when a customer fails to maintain a set minimum balance predetermined by the bank.  These fees are in place most likely to help secure a percentage of the bank&#8217;s assets.</p>
<h3>ATM Fees</h3>
<p>ATM Fees are typically charged when a consumer withdraws funds from an ATM machine that doesn&#8217;t belong to their own personal bank.  These fees can cost upwards of $4 per transaction depending on the bank.</p>
<h3>Consumers Should Beware</h3>
<p>For consumers with bank issued credit cards, it is highly advised that attention is paid to these rising fees.  These banking institutions have the right under law to change their rates but are also required by the law to notify their customer base of any and all changes they make to the terms and conditions of the customers&#8217; account.</p>
<p>Unfortunately however, most consumers fail to get these updates which are usually included with a mailed notice such as a newsletter or bank statement.  Failure to get these mailed notices may result in fees which offset a customers&#8217; perceived balance and eventually incur the more costlier overdraft charges.</p>
<h3>JPMorgan Chase Raises Fees</h3>
<p>JP Morgan Chase has publicly announced that it will be raising rates on overdraft protection, cash advances, as well as its default rate.  The default rate is usually the imposed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_percentage_rate" title="Annual Percentage Rate" rel="external">Annual Percentage Rate</a> that is applied to accounts when a customer surpasses their credit limit or is late on their payments.  Also if a larger balance has been carried for longer than two years, expect a new $10 monthly service fee to start showing up on your banking statement.  Your minimum payment each month will also be rising from 2% of the total balance owed to 5%.  This is obviously the bank&#8217;s attempt to motivate consumers to pay back what is owed, thus Increasing the percentage of liquid assets available to the bank.</p>
<div style="float:right;margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:5px;width: 235px"><img src="http://www.cashthechecks.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/credit-cards.jpg" alt="Expect to see your minimum payments increase!" width="225" height="169"  style="display:block;float:right;"/><p class="wp-caption-text">Expect to see your minimum payments increase!</p></div>
<h3>Do You Have Perfect Credit?  So What!</h3>
<p>It is nothing out of the ordinary to see someone with poor or mediocre credit to come under increased scrutiny or be penalized by banks or other creditors when applying for an account.  Now however, even those  who have been diligent about maintaining a high credit score will likely see their available credit dropped and the current rate on their existing balance raised.</p>
<h3>Alternatives to consider</h3>
<p>Unfortunately for many consumers, the banks changing of the rules at half time may prove to be devastating.  The economy is picking on more than just the banking sector as consumers everywhere are struggling to make ends meet from one month to the next. For those who are currently strapped financially with economic troubles of their own, changing rates and minimum payment requirements may be the straw that breaks the camel&#8217;s back.</p>
<h3>Are You Facing Financial Trouble?</h3>
<p>If you happen to be one of these struggling consumers, it is important to note that the speed in which you choose to take control of your situation will prove to be the most valuable.  The higher your <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/11/12/credit-repair-establishing-and-maintaining-good-credit/" title="credit score">credit score</a> the more opportunity you may have to take control of your debt.  You can read more about your available options in the following article entitled,</p>
<p>&#8220;<em><a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/11/19/debt-consolidation-what-are-your-options/" title="Debt Consolidation | What Are Your Options">Debt Consolidation | What Are Your Options</a></em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the meantime, customers may find it profitable to pull payday loans to avoid pending overdraft charges from being charged to your bank account.  It is more important now than ever before to both pay attention and be aware of your options.</p>

<h2>Overdraft Charges &#8211; Today&#8217;s Hot Topic!</h2>
<p>Overdraft charges seem to be dominating the conversation in the baking industry as consumers become more outraged with their banks practices. The above article is just one of many examples that you will find on the web.</p>
<h3>Why all the fuss?</h3>
<div style="float:right;margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:5px;width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-15391" title="fiftys_money" src="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/fiftys_money.jpg" alt="Do you need no fax payday loans?" width="300" height="224"  style="display:block;float:right;"/><p class="wp-caption-text">Do you need no fax payday loans</p></div>
<p>In light of the recent events regarding the banking industry, we can only assume that the banks are trying to make up lost financial resources by more aggressively restructuring their fee policies and schedules. Customers are outraged at this idea as they feel the recent bailout funded by their own tax dollars covered the losses originally accrued by the banks more than shady practices.  This begs the question as to why the fallout is being passed on to the customer.</p>
<h3>Just One Of Many Fees</h3>
<p>Overdraft fees are just one of the many fees that are being increased.  ATM fees as well as monthly service fees have see a new highs as well.</p>
<p>The argument from the banks standpoint is not so much an issue of self preservation as it is customer responsibility,  there are not many ways to get the customer to pay more attention to there finances except for making it cost them their hard earned cash.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of truth in the last statement.  I don&#8217;t like getting hit with fees anymore then the next individual but ultimately I can&#8217;t blame anyone but myself.  An individuals efforts to avoid these fee&#8217;s will naturally create a better financial manager.  Just what the banks want.</p>
<h3>What you can do!</h3>
<p>The biggest mistakes made usually result from a lack of communication between couples that hold a joint bank account.  Another common mistake as simple as it may seem is using a debit card.  These charges hit your account immediately and remembering to record your receipts in the check book can prove difficult sometimes.</p>
<p>Find the time each day to to balance your checkbook as not to loose track of transactions that have taken place.  If it&#8217;s a joint account, don&#8217;t forget to check for transactions made by your partner as well.</p>
<p>Just a little time and diligence can save a lot of heart and head ache. If overdrafts have hit your checking account, don&#8217;t stress you can always apply for <strong>no fax payday loans</strong> to help get your account back on the positive side.</p>
