Abstract: “We match administrative data from the payday lender with nationally representative credit bureau files to look at the options of cash advance candidates and assess whether payday advances help or harm borrowers. We find customers submit an application for pay day loans if they have restricted access to main-stream credit. In addition, the weakness of payday candidates’ credit records is longstanding and severe. According to regression discontinuity quotes, we reveal that the consequences of payday borrowing on credit ratings along with other measures of monetary wellbeing are near to zero.
