Notwithstanding the undeniable fact that the payday loan industry is skyrocketing and spreading like wildfire across the world and online, critics abound on the controversial issue of payday loans, pushing the promoting the high IRs and caution those "susceptible" to replying to the sweet-sounding benefits of pay day loans to stay away.

These particular critics regularly claim that payday loan lenders and cash advance stores really target certain groups of people so as to keep their business not only surviving but thriving. These "targeted" groups include the young, the financially inexperienced, unreliable or juvenile, the poor and those from low income areas, army personnel, customers extremely deep in liabilities and those who have a highly regarded history of using other high-risk or quick-cash banks.

Younger possible clients can be centered because as a group they generally aren't as well informed about finances, loans, incurring debts and rates as older consumers and may not consider the risks of using a pay day loan . Poor folk or low income families, or those barely living salary check to paycheck, can be focused because they might not have other alternatives when hit with an unexpected expense or finance emergency.

Folk who work in the army are also said to be targeted by payday loan banks because of their young age, their money inexperience, their lower incomes mixed with family needs and mostly because they have fixed incomes from the government assuring pay-day loan banks of a trustworthy source of repayment. Further, consumers who've high obligations can be seen as "prey" because they're often short of further cash for a multitude of reasons, and regularly incur more debt to pay down old debt.

Anti-payday loan advocates will warn any and everybody against using payday loans, but will particularly focus on these groups of folks to keep away from pay day loans. But whether the young, the poor, the deep-in-debt, and those employed in the army are really centered by payday lenders, the fact remains that sometimes these folks need payday loans for a timeâ€"such as to get through a financial crisis.

Similarly, while it's possible that occasionally pay-day loans are employed as a "last resort" by consumers in these eventualities, at different times they are even considered and sought after first due to their many benefitsâ€"and pay day loans have lots of benefits. The application procedure is fast, straightforward and uncomplicated; approval is fast; the funds are generally placed into your account inside 24 hours; there are no credit checks; and they're secure and extremely convenient. Pay day loans may very well be the short term fix you're looking for.

Actually payday loans can accrue astronomically high rates if you aren't careful. Yes, they can even push folk already teetering on the fringe of high debt into the canyon of monetary hell. But payday loans do and will continue to fill a great need in society, and if they're used cautiously and reasonably, they can be the right solution if you are stuck in a unexpected financial holeâ€"whether you're in the military, young, poor, deep in debt or not.
