This borrower has a very low fico score at 588, and they were beside themselves with concern about getting approved for a signature style personal loan, meaning that they didn’t have any collateral in which to use, which is why there interest rate was fairly high at just under 13%. A 13% APR is definitely not uncommon when you consider how expensive some signature loans can get when the borrowers credit rating is severely damaged, and the conventional banks will not even consider the application for longer than 30 seconds.

This borrower lives in Killeen Texas, but actually works at Fort Hood, because she is a private in the military and has been in the military for over five years now (well, at the time of this application anyway). We find that their are numerous loans applied for by military personnel who work at the Fort Hood base, which is just West of Killeen.

Army personnel have to be treated differently when borrowers are serving them because there are federal laws in place that do affect the lenders in the state of Texas. You can charge too much in APR when you are giving loans to people who are serving in the military, and this affects the amount you can charge in effective APR, and in the fees and penalty fees structured into the small personal loans.

Killeen Borrower’s Loan Experience

This applicant wanted to borrow $5000 so that they could have a low interest month the payment and pay down multiple payday loans that they had accumulated in the last eight months. Unfortunately they used payday loan lenders to finance some of their personal activities, and used PDL companies to try and solve some of their monthly and daily shortfalls. This quickly ballooned out of control, and it is still questionable whether these payday loan lenders were even allowed to give multiple loans to this member of the United States Army.
