<prompt> Human: I thought Id drop this here. Im currently in the Cut them all of and deal with collections! phase of the payday loan cycle. Not looking for pity but more to advocate against these loan sharks and hooligans. 45 minutes will get you in but it can be years before you get out.Word of advice. If youve ever though of getting a Short-term high interest loan of any sort, payday, title, installment, WHATEVER... DONT.Assistant: Im surprised these institutions prey upon people. Theyre always located in the most financially savvy parts of town. Human: Unfortunately this leads people to believe they are a reliable financial resource. Assistant: In a small number of cases they can be handy. For instance, in Texas the loan can be canceled within 72 hours. Meaning, if you can pay it back within 3 days you dont pay interest. Or, if you can afford do pay within two cycles. Thing is most people who take out a loan dont fall in those practices and anyone wise enough to know how this game is played is wise enough to have money stashed away for these situations.  <response>: The average payday loan amount is less than 400. If you are so poor or so bad at managing money that you dont have 400 in savings, youre unlikely to be able to pay it back within two cycles. :-
