Safe Online Cash

February 27th, 2009

Safe Online Cash is a site that will take your information and send it to participating lenders to try and get you approved on a pay day loan. You are not going to be able to clear up a lot of debt with this company but they will be able to help you out if you are in a jam.

To get approved on a loan with Safe Online Cash you need to: 

  • Currently have a job (or receive regular income)
  • Make at least $800 per month
  • Are 18 years of age or older and a U.S. citizen
  • Have a checking account
  • Other requirements may apply

Credit scores are not a major factor when applying. Bankruptcy, bounced checks, charge-offs and other credit hassles are often over looked due to the shortness in length of this loan.

The most that anybody can get approved for is $1,000. There are a couple of factors that go into your application process like your lender, income, and employment. This is why working with Safe Online Cash should not be considered a long term strategy to take care of debts. This is a short term fix to help you take care of certain obligations you might have.

Safe Online Cash does not have a fee structure posted on their site because they take your application and send it to lenders. After they get a couple offers they contact you with the best offer with the lowest fees. After getting approved and accepting the terms of the cash advance you can have the money deposited into your account the very next day.

The repayment period varies depending on the lender. Be prepared to pay it all back within a month. This is usually the longest amount of time most lenders will give. Some will offer extensions in case you cannot come up with the money to pay. You will need to contact your lender if you are in this situation. If you do have the money to pay and want to pay it all off you can do so and not have to worry about any pre-payment penalties.

Safe Online Cash is not the true definition of a debt settlement company since they are not a lender. What they specialize in is helping people who need small amounts of cash in a quick time period get it. Since they do not tell you what the rates and fees are you should expect to hear higher rates at the time of application. This is just the way it goes when you are looking for a pay day loan.

Check City

Check City specializes in doing personal loans. They would be considered more of a pay day loan company then a debt settlement company. Since they give the money to you to decide what to do with it puts you in control of taking care of your financial obligations.

How the process works with Check City is after you apply with them you will get notified if you are approved. After the approval you can get your money deposited into your account in as little as 3 business days. Depending on what state you live in you could take a loan from them for up to 2 weeks. On your next scheduled pay day Check City will make a automatic withdrawal from your checking account the amount of money your borrowed plus the fees they charge.

The fees involved when working with a pay day lender can be steep. Check City is not different. Most of their rates hover in the 15% range. Each state has different restrictions on how much they can charge. For instance, if you were to borrow $100 one week, the very next day you are scheduled to get paid, Check City would take $115 from your checking account. The $100 to cover the loan and the $15 fee they charge for giving you the money. Most states will only let you borrow up to $1500 from Check City.

There are times when you can extend your loan and you will have to call Check City to do so. You will still be charged the interest rate you agreed upon on at the time of application. You can pre-pay your loan back at anytime without penalty. If you think you will not be able to make the payments on time then Check City will work with you to get a plan taken care of to keep your account in good standing with them. All customers who keep their account in good standing will have an easier time getting approved on future loans.

Working with Check City is not a long term solution. You will not be able to get large sums of money to take care of a lot of debt. Instead you will be able to get a small amount of money to take care of your financial obligations. This is more of a quick fix. Be prepared to pay a fee near 15% or more when taking a loan. Even though Check City is not a debt settlement company by definition, you can at least get some quick cash to help you out of a jam.
