We’ve all seen them around Fort Worth: payday loan companies that offer you an advance against your income so you can pay your bills. While this may be tempting if you find yourself in a financial bind, the terms of these loans are often terrible for consumers.
Another temptation to pay a bill or get some extra cash is to overdraw your bank account or credit card, and allow the financial institution to cover the difference for you. This can also lead to more costs than you might realize, setting you even further back in the long run by
adding to your debt.
While having a payday loan for just a few days might not seem like a problem, the interest rates on these products are astronomical. If you do not pay the loan on time, you could end up paying exorbitant fees in addition to large amounts of interests.

As a bankruptcy attorney serving people in Fort Worth, I have seen the toll that hidden bank fees and payday loan interest have taken on hardworking people who are doing their best to stay afloat.
