Drafty Alternative things to bear in mind
- They offer a recurring credit line similar to that of a credit card where you can pay the minimum amount or a small amount each month which means that you could end up just paying the interest off each month and never pay of the original amount you borrowed.
- If you are struggling to keep on top of your finances, the temptation is always there to keep topping up and putting yourself in further debt. With a traditional payday or short term loan you know exactly how much to pay and when it has be completed.
- Don’t be tempted to over borrow. If they offer you a credit line above your needs you may be tempted to use the money for trivial things and not emergencies, then regret it.
Drafty’s Fixed and representative APR are good when comparing them against some payday and short term lenders but not so good when comparing them to a credit card apr which is using the same model
