What happens if a borrower rolls over a payday loan?

Rolling over a payday loan incurs new fees every two weeks without reducing the principal balance, trapping borrowers in high-interest debt.

What are safer alternatives to payday loans?

Payday Alternative Loans (PALs) from federal credit unions (capped at 28% APR), 0% interest paycheck advances, or personal emergency loans.
