How To Get A Cash Advance To Help With Financial Emergencies

1. Cash Advances To Cover Housing Costs

According to a study by Harvard University, almost 40 million Americans live in housing they can't afford. Many others find adequate housing but then face other unexpected costs or a job loss that impedes their ability to cover rent or mortgage payments.

When you do not have enough cash at the end of the month, your housing bill is usually the first thing due. Having a safe shelter is a need that cannot be ignored, so consider a cash advance to cover the cost until your next paycheck hits and you get back on track.

2. Cash Advance To Pay Overdue Bills

The consequences of missing a bill or credit card payment include the following:

• Paying late fees and high-interest payments.
• Having your subscription service cut off.
• Getting a negative ding on your credit score.

A GOBankingRates survey found that 57% of Americans have missed at least one credit card payment, so if this resonates with you, you are not alone.

Other pending bills like utilities, subscription services, and loan payments could also cause everything from an inconvenience to a crisis. Missed car payments could end in repossession, or when the missed bill is something as important as the electricity, it could even leave you in the dark – literally.

A cash advance could give you between $100 and $400 to use towards due or overdue bills to get those creditors off your back. 

3. Use A Cash Advance For Home Or Car Repairs

Homes can provide shelter and love, but they also come with a list of maintenance projects. This is even more true if you were affected by a natural disaster like flooding, a tornado, a hurricane, or a blizzard. Some home repairs that cannot be left for later include:

• Roof repairs
• Plumbing or electric repairs
• HVAC system repairs
• Broken windows
• Mold remediation
• Broken primary appliance (e.g., fridge, water heater, etc.)

If your primary vehicle was in an accident or needs an urgent repair to get you back on the road and to work, the mechanic cannot wait. In any of these situations, a cash advance could help you start the necessary repairs ASAP.

4. Cash Advances For Emergency Events

Other life emergencies can quickly get in the way of your monthly finances. Things like illness, family emergencies, surprise bills (especially during tax season), and even death can deplete any savings in the blink of an eye.

If the end of the month is coming up and you're out of cash, Tennessee Title Loans, Inc. can help. Our payday loans, also known as cash advances, could allow you to access your payroll cash early.
