Blog stories payday loans how they helped out in everyday situations
Eileen Bauer of Boulder, Colorado: When my car broke down just days before my daughter’s wedding, I was beside myself. Payday was more than ten days away, all of my available cash and credit were tied up in the wedding preparations and festivities. My car’s mechanic assured me he could fix my car within 24 hours, but it was going to cost nearly $700. I didn’t know what to do. My friend suggested a payday loan, and that turned out to be the answer to my prayers. Being able to apply for a payday loan online and receive the funding within 24 hours kept my daughter’s wedding on track. By the time my next paycheck arrived, my daughter and new son-in-law were honeymooning in Jamaica, and I was able to repay the payday loan promptly and completely. It really was a lifesaver!
Jose Castillo of San Diego, California: They always say things happen when you least expect them and in my case that certainly was true. My sons and I were on a trip to Arizona to watch Spring Training games for our favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs. My wallet was stolen, including all of the cash I had withdrawn for the trip. My bank was able to reissue a debit card pretty quickly, but I had taken out all the money I could to give my sons an amazing vacation. I was able to apply for a payday loan online and receive cash the next day – it saved my vacation and helped me make some wonderful memories with my sons.
Gabrielle Sandstrom of Detroit, Michigan : I admit I am not the best at managing my own money. But when it came to pass that it was either pay my power bill or live without electricity for two weeks during the Minnesota winter, I was beside myself. I had hoped the utility company would grant me an extension so I could pay it with my next paycheck. They would not allow me to extend my payment due date and I was panicking. That’s when a co-worker suggested I look into a payday loan. Since I had already budgeted my next check for paying the power bill, I thought this was a great solution. I was able to borrow $500 and pay it back over two paychecks. That payday loan saved me from having to camp out on friend’s couches just to stay warm!
Andrew Wyatt of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: When my grandmother died unexpectedly, I was crushed. But the idea of not being able to attend her funeral in Milwaukee was devastating. Airfare was sky high trying to book at the last minute and my budget wasn’t going to allow me to attend. Then I remembered a friend getting a payday loan to tide himself over until payday and thought that could be the answer to my problem. I applied for a loan to cover airfare and it was approved. I was able to pay my respects to my beloved grandmother thanks to the easy online payday loan application and their almost immediate funding of my loan.
