Payday loans are becoming more popular, and more in demand, as the credit squeeze continues. But can you afford to take one? That is a question that many people ask of themselves. And rightly so, because unless they go about it the right way, they can end up paying a massive amount of interest.

So, if you feel that you need a payday loan how should you go about it? First, don't opt for the first online advert you see. Not all payday loans are the same, and you can usually get a deal that suits you. You should look for a deal that has a limited 'rollover' period.

Simple. Make your payment by direct debit from your bank on payday. Make sure that the direct debit is dated for your payday, or as close as possible to it, and you will always have money in the bank when the payment is due. If you are paid on a certain date each month, make the direct debit for that date.

The definition of a payday loan is that it is paid back on your next payday after taking out the loan. If you know your payday after taking the loan then you can arrange a direct debit to be applied on that date, and the payment will be made before you can access your account. That way there will be no temptation to spend the money before you pay it back.

If you ever make an arrangement to make repayments over a number of months, then it will be difficult to arrange a single direct debit date, and that kind of payment is not variable: it is made on the same date each month. Many people I know come to an arrangement with their bank in such situations.

However, payday loans have many benefits if you are able to make the payment at the right time. It will give you emergency cash when needed, such as an emergency car repair or medical bill, and allow you to pay it back next payday.

So payday loans do have benefits to those that need them, and if you need one then think carefully before taking it, and make sure you get the best deal. The take it and use it well.
