If you need a loan I would not go here. I have had many loans. My credit is ok I have never been turned down for a loan. This place sent me a check in the mail said I was pre approved i think it was like $800.00. I cashed it made my payments on time. I kept receiving letters in mail stating i was pre approved for more money it said $1200. I threw away most of them. But around Christmas i needed extra cash i had just got another one in mail stating i was pre approved. So I took the letter and went to their office. I had to do an application and a credit check. They told me that I wasn't approved and I had no credit at all my score was 0. I asked how did I get the first loan if that's the case. She said she didn't know. I know my credit score is not 0. Well after that I have continue to pay my loan always on time. It's been 6 months never missed a payment never been late. I called and ask can I renew my loan . I have done this with several loan places. All I hadbto do was go in renew my contract and leave with cash. They didn't have to run my credit because I wasn't getting another loan and I was a good customer. Well this place told me that they would have to run another credit check and that their company didn't work like that. If I wanted my credit run I can go anywhere and get more money than what I would be getting with them. The reason I came to them was so I didn't have to run my credit because it lowers my score.I suggest anyone needing a loan go somewhere that appreciates it's good customers. Their is hundreds of loan places that do this.At least they care about their good customers who pay not time.In this area Covington Credit is a very good one.

What is the difference between pre-qualifying for a loan and applying for a loan?
Pre-qualification gives you an estimate of loan terms you may qualify for based on your credit and the
information you provide. Final approval and loan terms are contingent on completion of a full loan
application.
I received a loan check in the mail, is it real?
Yes, it is a real loan check! A loan check is a pre-approved loan offer. Click here for more information
about our loan checks.
What is the difference between interest rate vs APR?
The interest rate deals with the costs you will pay to borrow money. The interest rate only includes
the interest percentage you will be charged for borrowing the money and does not include any other
fees you might be required to pay on the loan.
The Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) is not the same as the interest rate. The APR is the interest rate
plus the fees you may be required to pay on the loan (i.e., origination fees, closing fees, documentation
fees, and other finance charges) and is expressed in terms of a percentage rate. The APR will typically be
higher than your interest rate.
What does it mean to refinance my loan?
Refinancing a loan replaces your existing loan with a new loan that potentially has a new interest rate,
revised terms, and/or revised repayment timeline. The remaining balance of your former loan will be
included in the loan amount of your refinanced loan along with any loan origination fees and voluntary
insurance products you agree to purchase, if allowed by state law.
