An installment loan is money you borrow and repay in fixed, scheduled payments, usually every two weeks or monthly, until it's paid off.

Lenders in our network offer installment loans from $100 to $5,000 to El Dorado Hills borrowers who qualify.

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.

Do I need to visit a store in El Dorado Hills?
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.
