Will applying for a loan affect my credit score? Does America’s Loan Company run a Hard credit with loan applications?
As of September 2022, America’s Loan Company is running Soft Credits on loan applications. This means that it should not affect your credit score. However, we may run a Hard Credit once a loan offer is accepted by the applicant.
I have no credit score. Can I still get a loan from America’s Loan Company?
We are able to lend to customers who have no credit scores. We don’t guarantee that you will be approved but we do cater to customers who may not be able to get a loan from the local bank due to having too low of a credit score.
Does America’s Loan Company report my credit?
Yes. America’s Loan Company would report your payment history to TransUnion.
Can I change my due date payments?
Yes. You may have any number of payment due dates changed any number of times through out the loan term. Any payment that becomes more than 30 days past due would affect your credit score.
What interest and A.P.R. can I expect to get?
It depends on several factors like your credit score, loan amount, term of loan, among others. We may charge an interest rate ranging from 17% to 25%. The maximum state of Ohio allowed interest is 25%. However, do keep in mind that the A.P.R. will be higher than the interest since it will include other loans fees, such as origination fees. Also A.P.R. figures are affected by the term or length of the loan. The shorter the length of the loan the higher the A.P.R. will most likely be.
Must I go to an office to sign contract and receive my funds?
No. We can complete the entire process via E-Mail, fax, and direct deposit of funds to your bank. When you return to us the signed contract, we can deposit the funds to your bank account as early as the same day that we received your signed contract.
How long can I have to pay a loan?
Our bad credit loans have terms of 6 months to 60 months.
What origination fees do you charge?
Our origination fees vary the with the amount of the loan from $30, $100, $200, and $250. However, these are fees that we will include in your loan. So, you would not pay these at the time that the loan contract is paid. Instead they will be paid as part of the loan throughout its term.
Will I be required to put a down payment on a loan before I am approved for it or before funds are disbursed to me?
NEVER. Simple as that. Our advise to you is to stay away from any lender who requires you to put a down payment as a condition to your loan. Most likely, it is a scam.
What is the difference between a personal Loan and the typical title Loan?
America’s Loan Company’s personal loans are unsecured or secured installment loans paid over several months or years (6 months to 60 months). For qualified applicants APR can be below 35.9%. However, title loans are typically with much shorter terms and a much higher APR.
What is the difference between a title loan and a car loan?
In the case of a typical title loan, you borrow money based on the value of a vehicle that you already own. Title Loans also have expensive fees and very short terms that make them hard to pay back. However, with our car loans our fees are typically lower than a title loan, and we can give you terms from 6 months to 5 years. We are interested in giving a loan that fits your budget.
Is a personal loan the same as a payday loan?
No. A personal loan is an unsecured or secured loan paid over many months. A payday loan is a loan usually paid in full over 2 weeks.
I’m still paying on my vehicle. Can you loan to me based on the equity that I already have on the vehicle?
If you are still paying on your vehicle, we may still be able to refinance it. If we determine that the value of the vehicle exceeds sufficiently what you still owe on it, we may refinance the vehicle loan and add money on top that you can keep.
How long does it take to be approved or declined for a loan?
We can make a loan decision between one to three business weekdays. Holidays and weekends will make the processing time longer.
Will I be required to have a cosigner for my loan?
Not necessarily. In fact most of our loans are approved without the need of a cosigner. However, sometimes a cosigner may be needed for different reasons.
Who would be an adequate cosigner?
An adequate cosigner is someone who works full time at their current job for at least two years, has a checking account that is at least 3 months old, is a U.S. citizen and an Ohio resident, and has a credit history that is meets our requirements. A cosigner has to be someone who we can trust to pay the debt in the even that the main signer does not pay the debt.
Is a cosigner equally responsible for my loan?
Yes. A cosigner is equally responsible for a loan to be paid in full in case of default, including the main signer filing a bankruptcy. Our loan will affect the credit score of the cosigner.
