Protection against high interest payday loans

The credit system in the country isn't back to normal yet. And as many citizens struggle with getting loans or credit facility on their mortgage, certain local payday credit firms are minting money at their expense. These small scale, unregistered credit institutions provide citizens a quick and easy access to urgent cash loans but in turn charge very high interest rates. These rates could be almost 500% to 600% of the loan amount, thus making the servicing of loan and getting out of the debt-trap very difficult. the federal government is now taking steps to protect the consumers against falling into such cyclical debts. the senate is contemplating the recently passed law to create a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency that will impose certain level of regulations in this this highly unregulated and 'rather wild' segment of the nation's financial system.

Every year, a rather high number of individuals fall prey to the credit schemes of these payday institutions mainly driven by the desperate need to have access to quick cash. Payday loans without credit checks help you to access the monthly funds that you need without waiting for the lengthy credit check process to be completed. Many Non Profit Organisations have also come to the rescue of these individuals and others who are in need of credit by providing them means to get easy credit at lower rates of interest. one such organisation is 'Foundation Committees' in Texas to help those already under the trap of such cyclical debts.

These easy credit institutions are unlicensed and unregulated and operate under names such as "credit service organisations' that lends a level of credibility to them. Interestingly, their number exceeds the total number McDonald's, Wendy's and other Multinational fast food joints in Texas.
