2nd March 2011
Despite the hundreds of advertisements you may see on a day to day basis, getting approval for a payday loan is not as easy as it seems. This article will give you nine top tips on how to really improve your chances of getting a payday loan fast!
“The first tip of the article is to make sure that you have all the basic information that will be required before the company even consider your application. These documents are: proof of your regular pay or income such as a statement and proof of your identity, preferably as a passport as one of the requirements of applying for payday loans bad credit is that you are a citizen of the United Kingdom and your passport will confirm this.
Tip number two may sound silly and pointless, but it is the problem that occurs most often. Make sure that the information you provide on your application form is 100% true and accurate as any attempts at identity theft will be discovered immediately. Even if you have no intention of applying dishonestly, it is essential that you double and triple check your form because even one simple number mistake or typo could result in your application being rejected.
Tip number three is more about how you can get your money sooner. A lot of people try to apply out of office hours (usually Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm) or on a weekend or bank holiday, and then they wonder why they don’t receive their money until late the next working day. If you apply within the times stated above, this will highly increase your chances of receiving your money within the next 24 to 48 hours, if not that very same day.
Top tip number four is strongly related to the previous tip. Apply as early in the day as is possible. This is because payday loan lenders only have set amounts of money that they are allowed to lend each day, sort of like a budget. Once they have reached that day’s limit, the lenders will stop reading through applications. Therefore it is very important that you submit your application early on in the day.
And finally, tip number five recommends that you write down a phone number on the application form that can be very easily reached within the twenty four hours that you submit your application. Not only can loan companies detect whether or not a number valid, which can result in your application being automatically rejected, lenders will often contact you by telephone (if you have applied online) in order to verify that you are who you say you are, and not someone pretending. Loans will not be transferred into your account until they have confirmed your identity, and usually, if you cannot be reached within twenty four hours of having submitted your application, then it will without a doubt be cancelled. Handy hint: list your mobile number under ‘Home Number’ as this will be the first number they ring, and so they can reach you even if you are out and about.
