Payday Loan Center Hijinks

I have apparently offended a person who loves payday loan centers and I publicly offer this formal apology.

Here is the offending article.

Payday Loan Center Payback (Musical Tribute)

Here is the comment that was left for me.

Let me tell you something alright? Leading up to the time that we had to take out a cash loan, we didn't see anything but negative remarks from others online about the cash loan industry. We ended up almost losing our car because we waited. At the last minute, we borrowed $400 from cashloancity.com and I really believe it is the only thing "at the time" that saved us. I understand that there's a problem with some people abusing this industry and crying about it later, but what about the people that really need it and pay it back on time? We're even getting ready to have a positive mark on our credit because of it. Why are the people that never need this type of loan the same people that keep others from being able to get one?

So what do we know about this person cashloancity?

Let's read the profile, shall we?

I'm co-manager of the website www.cashloancity.com dedicated to finding the best, lowest interest, cash loans available to the public.

So, assuming I understand this correctly, cashloancity apparently needed cash fast in order to save cashloancity's car. Cashloancity therefore borrowed $400 from cashloancity.com. I had no idea it had reached this level of pain and suffering in the payday loan center business. Oh the humanity!

I was truly touched that cashloancity took the time to write me such a personal and thought provoking comment. It prompted me to see if I could find other people who I might have hurt with my musical tribute. Electric Light Orchestra is one of my favorite bands but apparently it isn't for everyone.

That's when I ran across this post. I want you to read the personal and thought provoking comment Roy left.

Roy is not alone. I also found a personal and thought provoking comment by someone named Ray.

I therefore offer my most sincere and deepest apologies to cashloancity, Roy, and Ray.
