Leadpile’s Blog

The paydaypundit.com has an interesting blog post regarding payday loans. Some articles on the internet are talking about payday loans related to predatory lending and college students. This blog made a good point about students not being able to get a payday loan. A payday loan is based on a “payday”, and the only way a person can get a payday loan is to have that loan linked to a “pay day”. How can a student get this type of loan if they do not work, like many other students?
Predatory lending is very much something that can be controlled by the consumer, if they ask a lot of questions and make sure they know what they are doing. Students or not students, payday loans are something many people need, and lenders will not give a loan to someone if they do not have a “pay day”. Leadpile Lead Exchange wants to work with students needing loans, and also payday lenders wanting payday leads. Unfortunately, the two will probably not be a match.

In the last year many mortgage lenders have been closing their doors. Auto lenders are getting “selective” on who they lend to. Payday lenders are getting put under a microscope because of various features of their loans. There is not one consumer that is not somehow being affected by this credit crunch. Is any of this happening because of the side effects of predatory lending?
In recent years, industry regulators have had an eye on every sort of lender in regards to potential predatory lending. According to Payday Loan Industry Blog, predatory loans are those that were given out to consumers with deceit or misleading information. This could be related to the terms of the loan, the type of loan or anything else related to the loan and what is conveyed to the consumer. In addition, predatory lending could be where a lender is taking full advantage of the consumer. Predatory lending is not necessarily because the interest rates are high or the cost of doing the loan is expensive. Some try to refer to payday lending as predatory lending.
Payday loans are a loan that many need for a temporary loan to get through a unforeseen situation that has occurred. These loans are usually about $500 and secured by a person’s paycheck. Payday loans being a part of the predatory lending arena should not necessarily be the case, because consumers are conveyed the rates and the cost of doing the loan. However, if a lender does not do this or misleads the consumer, then that could be considered predatory lending.
The bottom line is no matter what kind of loan you look at taking out, you need to ask a lot of questions. Understand fully the cost of doing the loan. The more you try to find out, the better chance you have of not becoming a victim of predatory lending-it’s everywhere, not just with one type of loan.
Leadpile Lead Exchange works a lot with payday loan leads, refinance leads, auto finance leads and other types of lending leads. However, predatory lending or misleading consumers is not something that we promote in our marketplace.
