Disgusting!!

[Moral Hazard]

Apparently our servicemen can giver their lives for their country, but can't decide for themselves what terms are acceptable for private advances on their paychecks.

[2banana]

This has been going on for at least 50 years...

Even more disgusting is the pittance we pay our troops that might cause them to need these "payday" services.

I live in a non-military rural community. Four of these leeches have sprung up in the past year. They prey on the weak, the gullible, and the desperate.

[Right_at_RiceU]

Just like 'rats and social security, they convince people they know what is the best use of their money but screw them over in the end... sigh

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yup. Pawn shops and loan sharks cluster around military bases and have for many, many years. It is up to the individual to be responsible for how they spend their money.

[Graycliff]

As disgusting as a feel this practice is (pawn shops included), the sooner they learn the consequences of their actions, the sooner they quit doing business with them.

This really isn't anything new, every base i was stationed at had streets that were loaded with either Pawn shops, Quick loan company's or bars, all out to take their money.

Are these pay day lenders any worse than people who hawk no interest loans, reverse mortgages for the elderly, credit cards for people with bad credit, or 2nd mortgages for people who need to combine all their dredit card debt? They are all thieves taking advantage of people with bad credit who spend more than they earn.

Prostitutes have more honor and integrity than do these payday loan companies. Many of them are allowed by state law to charge interest rates of up to 300% (especially bad with title loan operations)
