Are Online Bad Credit Loans Safe?
All lending within Chicago, IL is regulated at the state level, which helps protect borrowers from exorbitant interest rates and predatory lending practices.
While we are not a lender ourselves, you will know the interest rate offered immediately if you are connected with a lender and they make you an offer. By law, they must provide a full copy of the terms and conditions of any personal loan before you sign the online agreement and you are free to walk away at any time.
That doesn't mean there aren't sites out there that prey on those with bad credit, making false promises and misleading statements. Watch out for claims of no credit check being carried out or guaranteed or instant approval. No legal lender can make such promises.
The Good News: While the Chicago, IL lenders in our network will usually carry out some form of credit check, you will not be rejected right away if you have bad credit and those with a poor credit history are routinely and quickly approved for reasonable loans that suit their current financial situation.
Our lenders take in to account a number of factors, including your current employment status, income level, and other personal details.
