HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, November 23, 2010 (Press-News.org) Following on from some harrowing statistics published by national money education charity Credit Action*, payday loan company speed-e-loans.com have highlighted how that some figures in the public domain do not necessarily reflect the whole loans market place.

MYTH ONE - payday lenders pile debt on already indebted individuals

Statistics from Credit Action show that average household unsecured debt in UK is GBP17,838. However, the average debt of a speed-e-loans customer is GBP8,193.

Says Gary Miller-Cheevers from the company: "Our target market is employed individuals who want a relatively small, fast cash advance ahead of their next payday - and who have the means to pay it back as agreed."

MYTH TWO - payday lenders pile unmanageable levels of debt on people who cannot afford it

Mr. Miller-Cheevers comments: "We vet all of our customers very carefully, with over 90% of all applicants being declined".

A typical speed-e-loans customer takes home GBP1,430 pm and the average loan is GBP220 or just over 4 days net pay - a small amount in comparison to the actual income.

MYTH THREE - payday borrowers are at the lower end of society

The average speed-e-loans customer is a professional person in full time, stable employment:

- over 25% of speed-e-loans borrowers are employed as either a nurse, doctor, teacher; are in the armed forces; or in the police or emergency services, showing that speed-e-loans customers are in stable employment;
- in addition, 7% of all borrowers are solicitors, accountants, or financial advisers - professions that are traditionally associated with a higher wage;
- 29% of speed-e-loans borrowers are homeowners;
- 86% have lived at their current address for over a year;
- 100% of speed-e-loans customers are in full time employment.

Mr. Miller-Cheevers summarises: "According to a lot of the information in the public domain, payday loans and heavily indebted people on low income go hand in hand. Our figures prove that this is not the case. We lend responsibly to average-to-high income earners who are financially-savvy enough to know that payday loans can give them an often cost-effective way to get a quick cash injection until their next pay day."

Rare disease reveals new path for creating stem cells

2010-11-22
BOSTON, Mass. (November 21, 2010)—As debilitating as disease can be, sometimes it acts as a teacher. Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine have found that by mimicking a rare genetic disorder in a dish, they can rewind the internal clock of a mature cell and drive it back into an adult stem-cell stage. This new "stem cell" can then branch out into a variety of differentiated cell types, both in culture and in animal models. "This certainly has implications for personalized medicine, especially in the area of tissue engineering," ...

Stanford researchers first to turn normal cells into 3-D cancers in tissue culture dishes

2010-11-22
STANFORD, Calif. — Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have successfully transformed normal human tissue into three-dimensional cancers in a tissue culture dish for the first time. Watching how the cells behave as they divide and invade surrounding tissue will help physicians better understand how human cancers act in the body. The new technique also provides a way to quickly and cheaply test anti-cancer drugs without requiring laboratory animals. "Studies of this type, which used to take months in animal models, can now occur on a time scale of ...

Should airplanes look like birds?

Should airplanes look like birds?
2010-11-22
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 21, 2010 -- Airplanes do not look much like birds -- unless you were to imagine a really weird bird or a very strange plane -- but should they? This question is exactly what a pair of engineers in California and South Africa inadvertently answered recently when they set about re-thinking the ubiquitous tube-and-wings aircraft architecture from scratch in order to make airplanes more fuel efficient. The modern airplane design works well, but from a fuel efficiency standpoint, could planes be designed more aerodynamically -- to lower drag and ...

Simple rubber device mimics complex bird songs

2010-11-22
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 21, 2010 -- For centuries, hunters have imitated their avian prey by whistling through their fingers or by carving wooden bird calls. Now a team of physicists at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has reproduced many of the characteristics of real bird song with a simple physical model made of a rubber tube. "We wanted to know if you [could] build a simple device, which has minimal control but reproduces some non-trivial aspects of bird song," says L Mahadevan, a professor at Harvard. The work is being presented today at the American ...
