Jeannette Hartman
“A girlfriend mentioned a payday loan… There was a whole list of companies on the Internet. They approved you within minutes. You sent them your account information and they wired the money into your account… It was easy to try to get extra money for Christmas, for when I just wanted something… Then I paid the price when I had to pay them back.”
Online payday loan consumer Jeannette Hartman describes her ordeal to Charleston Daily Mail reporter George Hohmann…
Hartman said that she was unable to pay the loan in full so she renewed the loan repeatedly:
“They sucked you into thinking it was easy money… It was like an addiction. It seemed like a solution but it was really doing more harm. At one point I had three loans out and they took a payment out of my account that was my full paycheck. This was a nightmare. If I totaled up all of the money I wasted, it would be scary.”
Jeannette Hartman lives in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Regular readers of Online Payday Loans already recognize Hartman’s predicament - she was on the debt treadmill because she probably didn’t give enough thought to the month after.
