How to handle payday loan debt.

Debt can be daunting. It is a responsibility that looms overhead. It limits us financially, it lingers and if not respected it can quickly spiral downwards. With this in mind, it is important to know how to handle debt and what to do if you think it is becoming uncontrollable. Different debt types can have their own characteristics and for this case we are going to look at payday loan debt.

Borrow only what you need

When it comes to borrowing, payday loans are like any other form of credit. To make sure you don't take on too much of a financial burden borrow only what you need and no more. This ensures that you can pay off what you borrow as quickly as you are able, rather than throwing in credit for things you don't need, extending your commitments.

Borrow only within your means

If you know you can't afford it, don't borrow it. To willingly apply for a loan that you know you can't afford is not only irresponsible, but can only lead to disaster. A payday loan is meant to be a small, short term cash boost to see you through to payday and needs to be treated as such. They are not long term financial solutions.

If you spot trouble, don’t bury your head in the sand

If you hit a wall and you enter a period of financial hardship, don't hide from it. That is the worst thing you can do. If you know you are going to have trouble meeting your financial commitments and there is a risk of not paying your loan on time, get on the phone and let your lender know immediately. If you communicate this to them they can help and the sooner the better. Delay may result in late charges and fees which can be quite expensive. There are multiple option that lenders may use to help, from capping interest to rescheduling payments affordability. 

Each has their own policy but they can only help if they know there is a problem. If you find you become reliant on credit, be it any form from payday loan to credit card, this reliance may suggest a deeper financial problem. If you have any concerns, no matter how little or large, free debt advice or counseling can really help you to find solutions or to generate an affordable budget to help get you back on track.
