Prepaid Credit Cards
Prepaid credit cards are growing in popularity across the world. They are such a fantastic idea it’s a wonder that nobody thought of it before. These kinds of credit cards are a relatively new phenomenon.
They have taken off so quickly because they are simple to use and anyone can qualify for one. In addition, they are flexible and can be used by all kinds of people from all walks of life.
Even if you have a poor credit rating you can usually still obtain a prepaid credit card. If you do not have a bank account it is still possible to qualify for some pay-as-you-go prepaid credit cards. In an age where many people cannot borrow money or qualify for normal credit cards these cards are invaluable.
Prepaid Credit Cards Offer Great Security
One of the many reasons people opt for prepaid credit cards is the fact they offer fantastic security. Should your credit card be stolen the worst that can happen is that the thief can spend the cash you have loaded on it. With standard credit cards your losses can run into hundreds or even thousands, if you are unlucky. There is no such danger of this happening with prepaid credit cards.

Pay day loans – using them instead of overdraft fees
Have you noticed that your bank charges a lot in overdraft fees? Have you been stung more than once for an overdraft fee because you’ve made a mistake, or your money wasn’t in your account in time? I think the solution could be pay day loans.
My account charges me £30 for any returned direct debits. It then charges me another £25 if I have an unauthorised overdraft that remains for a certain length of time – so if I’m late getting a payment into my account and I’m then fined…It’s a horrible cycle and I’m pretty tired of it.
Before it started this time, I looked into pay day loans
My sister told me that they often charge less per £100 than my bank was fining me – and given I’d be losing the money either way, either to the fine, or interest on the loan, I didn’t really see the problem with looking into it. But before I did, I tried to get my account in order.
And I’ll be honest, I moved banks there and then – but before I did, I took out one of the range of pay day loans my sister showed me, to ensure I wasn’t fined, then started again. My bank didn’t care that it didn’t happen too often (but had happened more often since my wages stopped hitting my account on the same day), so I found a more understanding bank, fixed my direct debits and paid back the pay day loan.
Transferring Money Abroad From Your Salary
There are many reasons why people need to send money abroad. Retirees have their pension payments sent while selling a house in the UK to move abroad will typically mean transferring money abroad on several occasions before the move is complete. If you live and work in the UK while your partner spends time in another country then it may be necessary for you to find a means of transferring money abroad so that you can both live comfortably.
Transferring money abroad doesn’t have to be a difficult or expensive process and there are many ways that the money can actually be sent. Bank transfers are the most popular option but they take time and you won’t enjoy access to the best exchange rates. Cheques have similar disadvantages and they take even longer before the recipient receives their money.
Foreign exchange accounts provide you with access to the foreign currency exchange rather than going through your bank or other financial institution. This means that you have direct access to better exchange rates. The process doesn’t have to be complex either. You can use an online account that will walk you through the steps when you first start transferring and enable you to enjoy additional features when you are more experienced.
Be Smart about Where You Get Bankruptcy Advice
People who are seriously struggling with debts often seek bankruptcy advice from friends and family members but it is vital to understand that every individual is different and just because bankruptcy was the ideal solution for your friend it doesn’t mean that it will be for you. Bankruptcy advice should always be given by a professional who has looked into your individual situation.
Local Solicitor
Before heading to your local solicitor for bankruptcy advice you may want to think about other options such as speaking to a bankruptcy advisor. Solicitors are known for encouraging people to file for bankruptcy due to the benefits that they receive. However, bankruptcy should only be filed as a last resort and you should be made aware of the downsides to this decision. Whilst a local solicitor may be a good person to help you fill out the legal paperwork they may not be the best person to give bankruptcy advice.
Bankruptcy Advisor
A bankruptcy advisor is often the best solution. Many will offer to give you a free bankruptcy evaluation and then cater their advice specifically to your situation. They will tell you the pros and cons of such a situation and what you can expect in your future. Although bankruptcy may seem like a quick fix you should be aware that in most cases debt is a temporary problem and anyone who gives you bankruptcy advice should tell you about the alternatives.
