Q&A: Do payday loans effect my credit score?

Question by ☆skyblue: Do payday loans effect my credit score?
I took out 6 payday loans in a 12 month span. I paid back all the loans on time. Will it poorly effect my credit score because I took out so many in a short span of time? Or, will it positively effect my credit score because I paid it all back on time? Or, will it have no effect on my credit score whatsoever?

Payday loans aren’t really “loans” where they check your credit (as far as I know), that’s why they make you write them a check beforehand, so that they can just go collect their money when your check is supposed to hit.

It’s more of an advance than a loan, they just call it that.
