The one thing you need to remember when applying for a payday loan is that most of these lenders would ask you to settle your debt during the next payday, which may be only a week from the day you borrowed the money. Payday loans are fast and easy. You can get them in just a few hours after you submit the necessary documents. However, they also require to be paid immediately. If you are not comfortable with this, then you should just borrow the amount you think you can pay (with interests) by the time your next pay check arrives.

Some people forget to pay their dues. The lender will probably remind you a few days before or after the actual due date. However, if you are not sure you have the time to drop the money off to the lender, you may want to apply for an automatic direct debit payment or write a post-dated check. This will ensure that once the funds enter your bank account, the lender can get the principal amount and interest charges it has incurred.

This kind of an automatic repayment will eliminate the hassle for you to remember to pay your dues or to drop off the lending agency and pay it in person. An automatic repayment scheme means that once funds enter your bank account on your pay day, the lender will automatically deduct the amount you owe him/her. This will give you a peace of mind that you have already settled a short-term loan.

This will prevent misunderstandings in your credit score.

If you have a proof of repayment, it will be easy for the credit institution to adjust your credit score.
