What is an installment loan?
An installment loan is money you borrow and repay in fixed, scheduled payments, usually every two weeks or monthly, until it's paid off. Personal loans, auto loans and many short-term loans are installment loans. Because repayment is spread out, each payment is smaller than a lump sum. Lenders in our network offer installment loans from $100 to $5,000 to Diamond Springs borrowers who qualify.
Are personal loans bad for your credit?
Not necessarily. Checking offers often uses a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score, though a lender may do a hard pull before final approval. Once you have the loan, on-time payments can help build your credit history, especially with lenders that report to the major bureaus, while missed payments can lower your score. Diamond Springs residents can see their options in about 3 minutes.
Can I get a personal loan with a 500 credit score?
It may be possible. A score around 500 limits options with traditional banks, but some online lenders consider low scores when you have steady income and an active bank account. Offers may be for smaller amounts, and approval isn't guaranteed. The quickest way to find out is to submit one request through our network and see whether lenders respond with an offer. It takes about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Diamond Springs?
No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
