So now you can solve money issues by borrowing more money with high interest?
 
Talk about legally ripping folks off. They even tell YOU you're getting ripped off if you think about it. ("Yes, the money is expensive.....")

At least he's upfront about it rather then written in some small print like most ads.

The average person can never get out of debt by borrowing more. Companies, corporations, interprenures, and inventors may possibly make money by borrowing. The only way to get out of debt is by cutting expenses to the point of survival only, and paying it off. Go to the nearest consumer credit office and set-up a plan.

It is in small print.  The newer ads have white text on a light background so it's harder to read, but what I was able to see had something like 116% interest/84 months/$400 month terms.

The interest is high because you're borrowing money with no credit check, and because you're expected to pay it back within 2 weeks (that's why it's called a PAYDAY loan).  Anyone who expects to pay back any debt making minimum payments is delusional and has no business managing their own money.

I see your point, but the guy says "the money is expensive" in the commercial. You won't hear Troy Aikman from Rent a Center telling us "yes, this 50 inch plasma TV is expensive to own" - but you can have it for $19 a week.Wink

There are laws against a practice called usury.  Usury is, for all intents and purposes, loan sharking.  There are legal rates set that legally can't be exceeded.  Based on how high mortgage rates got during the Carter years and the fact that some credit cards go as high as 29.99%, I suspect the usual limit is around 30%.  These limits are set by individual states.  I suspect that Native American tribes are not subject to these laws which is how they get away with 116+%.  I'd rather take my chances with Tony Soprano than these people.  I bet his rates were lower.

  Loansharks? Fahgeddaboutit! Uncle Guido can't even get a toehold in that racket anymore. Not when banks and credit card companies have already beat him to the punch.

Yeah, it is because they run the companies off reservations so they don't have to deal with those laws.  I worked in the casino/resort industry for almost a decade and dealt with numerous issues involving tribes.  They could pretty much do whatever they wanted because federal law did not apply to them.  The tribal leaders would set up huge businesses and reap all the benefits.  Since banking regulations and other such laws have been brought forward they are now using their federal legal immunity to become loan sharks.

The really sad thing is that the vast majority of Native Americans don't benefit from this.  The tribal leaders take advantage of their sovereign status on the reservation and put very little back into the community.  So they are ripping off Americans and their own people as well.  I find it quite disgusting.

There's a second version of this commercial, with a young woman. I reckon they thought she'd "soften" the blow a bit, but it's still annoying and condescending.

"The money is expensive"???  What an awkward way of saying "The loan is expensive".  Money itself is not actually expensive.

Well, at least people know what they're getting into when they take out a loan from these guys.  Or they should, anyway.

They should but someone will always fall for it. maybe they're young or just not very smart. But someone will, and these sharks know it. Its pretty disgusting since its painfully obvious that they are preying on thse people. Early in my army career I borrowed money from an outfit kinda like this....not even a lot of money, I think it was only about 500 bucks. But I was lucky...I had a sergeant who found out and schooled me a bit. Though I didn't make a lot of money then (i was a private) he got me to pay them back the very next pay day to avoid the long ridiculous payments it would have taken otherwise.
 
Lomg story short, I make it a point to not let any soldiers under my influence ever borrow money from anything even remotely like Western Sky.

Because 'payday loans' are actually illegal in some states (such as New York), yet, being this would originate from a Reservation, it can be had (a 'loophole' thing). These are EASY to qualify for, and, if you CAN pay it off in a single installment (fat chance), it would only cost your left arm, first child, and right nut. You CAN get out of this alive, if you are stupid enough to get into one of these.

Mind you, the LEAST amount they will loan you is a large amount, and the LOWER the amount, the GREATER the PENALTY.

This is a ploy to feed off of the unfortunate, desperate folks - if you sign up, you are indeed screwed, make NO mistake about that.

Should ANYONE be in such a dire position (and I mean absolutely NO other means to acquire rapid funds, but DO have the ability to pay back within a very few months) and reside in a state such as New York (where options are limited), but only need a few hundred dollars, there are indeed 'RES LOANERS' that, although still expensive, can indeed help and provide a manageable solution (but don't forget! they ARE in the business to make a living - off of YOU!). The loophole? Have and utilize a savings account - not a checking - the rules change.

You MUST be absolutely desperate to go this route; TALK TO EVERYONE YOU CAN FIRST - especially any friend in the Financial industry.
