Understanding Payday Loans & Hardship Relief
What is a Payday Loan?
A payday loan is a short-term, unsecured loan designed to help individuals cover immediate expenses until their next paycheck. These funds are typically used for emergencies only, such as medical bills, urgent car repairs, or utility disconnect notices.
When to use Short-Term Funding
- Preventing vehicle repossession
- Urgent medical prescriptions
- Critical home repairs (heating/water)
- Avoiding overdraft or late fees
