Its normal for them to have no money left just before their payday.
When an unexpected and urgent need for money appears, there is no cash available to solve the problem. Examples may include vets bills, car repairs, unexpected telephone bills or even urgent utility bills that appear each quarter instead of each month.
As individuals with low incomes have to prepay for things like electricity and natural gas, these individuals can often find them selves with no lighting or heating if they have no cash for their key meter.
Families with young children can sometimes access a line of credit from the social who are unwilling to let a family with young children sit around in their homes with no electricity.
For single people with less of a social safety net they are often trapped and forced into a doomed spiral of exploitation from unscrupulous loan companies. Imagine the following scenario. Dave is a trainee plumber on a minimum wage. He was out of work for 6 months and defaulted on his bank credit card, his bank account went past his overdraft limit and the bank closed it and sold on the debt to a debt collector. He was pulled up by the police while driving his car with two bald tyres. The officer was unimpressed with his attitude towards him and ordered a tow truck to tow his van away.
Dave was stuck with no car to get to work and no cash to get it out of the impounded facility and buy the replacement tyres. The daily fees for storage were pilling up. His friend he drank with told him to go on the web and look for a no credit search pay day loan so he could sort out his travel problems. His bad credit would be no issue as there was no credit search.
Dave was open-minded and happy that someone [would|could] be willing to offer him credit and he went on the internet to apply. After a certain amount of scanning and faxing paperwork to the finance company £350 arrived in his bank account, enough for his new tyres and the removal truck and storage fees. Everything went well until his pay day when the pay day loans company removed £437.50 from his bank account. He was able to pay his rent for his bed-sit, put some diesel in his car and then he was back to his empty bank account.
After a friend of his expressed his anger with Dave continually smoking his cigarettes and using his phone credit, Dave decided he was sick of having no cash. Dave made a quick telephone call and the pay day loans company were all too willing to lend him £500. Glad for their "help" Dave was able to have a few nights out and buy his own fags. His payday came round again and £625 was removed from his account. Also, a couple of months ago he was stupid enough to give his visa debit card details to the debt collector that had [purchased|bought] the debt from his previous bank. The debt collector caught his bank account at just the right time to empty the remaining cash.
Dave sat alone in his bedroom with no cash trying to work out how two bald tyres could have cost him £350 and a ludicrous £275 in interest payments and charges.
