In reply to payday advances please help, posted by starrc68 on November 7, 2004, at 13:39:09

oh dear.
those payday loans are a huge problem, with service fees and interest that amount to usury.

in canada there are class action lawsuits pending against the payday loan companies. there's an interesting program about it here: http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/2004/200403/20040329.html

here are some ideas for you:
1. can you get a personal loan from a parent, friend, etc. to eliminate the high-interest payday loans? and then NEVER go back
2. can you go to a non-profit credit counseling service and find out what steps you can take to fix up your budget
3. can you consult the government and see what kind of benefits you can apply for while work is slow. do you qualify for unemployment or food stamps?

good luck. i have bad credit (from credit card abuse) and i know how hard it is to resist. i had to learn to live with less (some months, WAAAAY less) ... if you have kids it's harder obviously
