And sorry to say, but that is why most people are broke.

A lesson learned produces a change in behavior, so that remains to be seen. Come back in six months and post an update.

And you can be certain that the payday loan people will NOT allow this loan to go toward her credit score improvement, as it is in their best interest to keep her with poor credit so they remain her sole source.
Yet, let her miss ONE payment, and it will certainly be reported to further damage her credit.
I have a simple rule, "If you go to an expert for advice, you should most likely take the advice." This thread is prima facie evidence that not everyone follows this rule.

It's worth noting (yet again for the umpteenth time) that all posts in this forum are to be taken as expressed personal opinion, and not as financial advice

though .... there was some damn fine personal opinion expressed in this thread; damn shame we couldn't save her $2300 (or more), but thanks, everybody
