LubbockOnline presented an opinion page by people from Lubbock, Texas. It said that although legislation mandates for disclosures and licensing, critics still do not see these as solutions to peoples credit problem. They believe that the ignorance of the people needs to be addressed if they aim for solutions to the bad credit problems and the public needs to be educated on what they can do about it,

 “Educating consumers as to why they shouldn’t make bad financial decisions is a better investment than regulations that protect them without addressing their ignorance.”

Restraining the Payday lenders

By: Annika Hunter Category: Texas Payday Loan
Comments Off
Payday lenders are subjected to tight scrutiny of the Law. These businesses have to be licensed by the state and need to post the schedule of fees in a visible place. The practice of lending short-term, high-interest loans have led consumers into a state of debt and money deprivation. Having uniformity and transparency in cost disclosure is going to help people from getting onto a debt tread-mill. In the absence of regulations, the payday lending industry has flourished by exploiting the poor. The new laws ensures more information about the loan, fees and the transactions to be disclosed to the consumers before a loan is made. People often take the loan without understanding the fees involved. The state licensing requires submitting data to the state to track their services.
“Moorhead said the key now is implementing another part of the licensing law that requires businesses to submit data to the state that will track their services.”

By: Annika Hunter Category: Texas Payday Loan
Comments Off
With the new regulations that took effect on January 1, 2012, the payday lenders in Texas are now subjected to scrutiny. It is expected that payday and auto title loan businesses will have to be licensed by the state and be more transparent in their dealings. The Consumer Service Alliance of Texas, however, said that they welcome the change and scrutiny especially since a portion of the fees paid in the licensing is expected to fund a financial literacy fund for adults in Texas.
“Proponents of the new regulations passed by lawmakers during the 2011 session say they’re needed because the practice of offering short-term, high-interest loans to consumers has led thousands of Texans into a cycle of debt and dependency.”

Warning signal to lenders

By: Annika Hunter Category: Texas Payday Loan
Comments Off
People who are financially desperate often end up in the hands of lenders with interest rates higher than 500 percent, the lenders have been successful in beating back the regulatory efforts. Laws have been enforced to get a state license for short-term lenders. Lenders have to pay a schedule of fees and also reveal the cost of transaction if the payments not made full.
“Though the state laws placing some regulation on short-term lenders are nowhere near ideal, they show a crack in the political protection that short-term lenders have bought with campaign cash.”

The website of any payday lender is tempting, but coming close to them only reveals the dangerous intent behind the clean deceptive facade. A woman from Jacksonville shares her experience with one such service. They are the “thrifty loans”. She talks about her daughter’s bad experience. They even threatened her and her family. Robert Norcross with the Consumer Alliance of Texas defends the payday lending method and justify their means.
“She says her daughter got a loan from a lender in Jacksonville to pay a bill. She just thought it would be easier than going to a bank”

Comments Off
Rob Norcross who is with the Consumer Services Alliance of Texas, a company that represents payday lenders, has a different and positive opinion about payday loan industries. He thinks it is better to borrow from them as it helps saves the embarrassment of bounced checks and unpaid bills. One question people might ask is, is he biased? Irrespective of what he might think, Texas has implemented a stricter law on Pay day loan Lenders.
‘Now the Texas Tribune reports new Texas laws aimed at curbing predatory lending will require all payday and auto title loan businesses to post a list of their fees in a visible place — like a restaurant menu board — and they’ll have to be licensed with the state’

The popularity of Texas payday loans is proof that this type of lending is a very fast growing industry in America. The main reason for this surge is the people of Texas find this type of borrowing service to be a convenient source of emergency money. As a result, there are a growing number of borrowers who use it every day.

Characteristics of a Texas Payday Loan

Texas payday loans are quite different from other, conventional loans. These loans are mostly applied for when the requirement for cash is urgent, but usually small. The borrowing term is short and usually paid back from the current, or next month’s paycheck. The application, processing, and approval of money is often completed within 24 hours or less. In some cases, it only takes an hour. Since the amount loaned on Texas payday loans is less than $2000, for most, it’s easy to repay while serving its purpose when needed.

Used carefully, these loans are excellent for small daily emergencies. You could apply for a Texas payday loan online or offline, in a bricks and mortar building in your neighborhood. The loan criteria are as follows:

1. Applicant must be 18 years or above
2. Applicant must have regular employment
3. Applicant income must be $ 1000 minimum
4. Applicant must have a bank account,
5. Applicant must be an American citizen

Advantages Of Texas Payday Loans Over Traditional Bank Loans

There are plenty of advantages when securing payday loan. First, the processing is swift, which means money in your hands in the shortest possible time.

The 2nd plus point, these loans aren’t governed by a review of your credit history. Texas payday lenders are only concerned with your ability to repay the loan with your next paycheck. Whether your credit record is good or bad, does not matter.

And you could apply for this loan online, and thus avoiding often embarrassing feelings (not to mention time waste) that accompany the offline process. No loan officer. No questions to answer, unless you are approved. The online payday loan surge of popularity has been fueled, in part, by these convenient benefits.

If you’ve ever been in a financial jam (and who hasn’t?) having to apply for a loan to cover expenses, it feels pretty good to know you can count on this type of funding to help you out, fast. These payday loan services provide cash stability. They are always available to you as long as you pay back the loan in a timely manner. Payday loans are a great means, to meet a financial end, as long as you borrow responsibly.
