Disadvantages: There are many disadvantages of payday loan as well:

• Payday loans are renewable, or extendable. This process is called “rollover” and, if you do it too many times, it could end up costing you a lot of money. 
  

• They are the high interest rate loans.
  

• The fee you pay for the use of this money is very high.
  

• Payday loans shift family income from basic necessities to loan fees. 
  

• A payday loan is a loan, not a service. State and federal courts consistently find that payday loan transactions are credit transactions.

• With their high fees and non-declining balance, payday loans can turn financial strain into financial chaos.

And in the meantime, try to build up an emergency fund so you will be able to cover those unexpected costs. Become a good financial manager. Then you’ll have an alternative, and you won’t have to rely on a payday loan as ”your last resort”.
