Trapped by Online Loans With 842% Interest Rate
Yes, you read the headline right. Web loans with 842% interest rates do exist, with some even as high as 2,000%. I know what you’re thinking. Who in their right mind would apply for a loan with such a ridiculous interest rate?
The majority of those who are using online loan services don’t have the best credit, so they wouldn’t qualify for a typical bank loan or home equity loan.
These loans are called online payday loans, similar to the ones you can get at the storefront centers, offering a loan of money until you get paid. These loans often come with steep fees and interest rates though.
Payday loans usually are marketed to poor and low-middle income workers. Now even middle class workers are resorting to online loans to cover themselves until payday due to high gas and food prices and tight credit.
