There are sometimes moments in our life when we are placed into a situation that is not of our own making, and one that we feel we have little control over. When this situation is a financial one and completely unexpected it might be that you need some financial assistance in the form of a short-term loan. Let’s take a look at 5 reasons that you might be in a position where you need the help of a lender with the ability to offer short-term loans and repayments that suit your needs.
Emergency House Repairs
Sometimes there is a really simple reason why you need some help with money – there has been a problem in your home that requires an emergency repair. Quite often buying replacement products in the home can be quite expensive, but in an emergency situation you don’t have another option. If you need to replace an important appliance, in order to cook, wash or clean, financial assistance might be the only option you have to get you out of a hole.
Emergency Medical Bills
Although we have access to emergency treatment for free under the NHS, there will be emergency situations where we need to urgently buy medicine to cure a short-term illness or help heal an injury. In order to take away the stress and worry of an illness, and allow for a proper recovery period, having financial assistance at a time when you might have spent your monthly budget but need medical help will put you in the right place for a full recovery.
Consolidate Small Debt/Make Repayments
In some cases you might have other debt that needs repaying within set dates and terms. It could be that other emergencies have left you a little short around the time you are due to pay off a credit card or store card. Although it can seem like just a small deal, missing a payment on a credit or store card can have massive implications to both your credit score, and your ability to pay off the interest and balance. As long as you are confident that your next pay cheque can cover both repayments, a short-term loan of a small value could be a lifesaver.
Pet Care
Much in the same way as a medical bill could cause you to need short-term financial aid, so too can that of a vet bill. Your pets are like family members and when they become sick it is hard to swallow. A short-term payday loan allows you to take care of your pet without having to wait until your next payday and risk the health consequences.
Unexpected Fines and Bills
If you’ve been hit with an unexpected fine, or larger than usual utility or phone bill, the repercussions of not paying quickly and on time can be far reaching. A short-term loan can help to ease your worries and make sure that you are all paid up.
When taking out a short-term loan of any kind it is vitally important that you are fully aware of your financial situation, with all incomings and outgoings written down. Only if you are 100% sure that you can afford to pay back a short-term loan within the agreed timeframe should you apply for one, regardless of the emergency situation you are in
