Risks of the Payday Loan Cycle in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory

High-cost borrowing becomes a problem when a new loan is used to repay an old one. If a repayment is already unaffordable before you sign, the loan is likely to make the situation worse rather than better.

Warning signs include a payment that takes up a large share of your monthly income, a term that stretches far beyond the life of what you bought, and pressure to accept a secured loan without understanding what you could lose. If you are already in a debt cycle, non-profit credit counselling and a consumer proposal are worth exploring before taking on more credit.
