Data shows those apps are exploding, and you can use them for everything from clothes to burritos.

Imagine that, buying taco's on an installment plan.

These apps are credit traps. Miss a payment, and you are smacked with huge fees and up to 36% interest.

Users are largely under 30. And many are maxed out on multiple apps.

Cold hard data, not a small group of friends.
