Consumer Notice
Personal loans are online loans which generally range from $1,000 to $35,000. These loans are intended for short-term financial relief, and are not intended to be solutions to long-term financial issues. Consumers who have credit problems or who are facing debt should seek professional debt and credit counseling. Consumers are encouraged to learn of the risks involved with taking out loans, loan alternatives that may be more suitable to your needs and/or financial situations, and any local and state laws applicable to loans in your state. We strongly encourage you to completely read and review any and all loan agreements as you are fully responsible for abiding by the terms of your loan agreement. By accepting the terms and conditions for a particular loan option, you are agreeing to repay the loan principal and finance charges according to the time frame detailed in the documents provided to you by your lender. If you make a late payment or deviate in any way from the payment schedule set out in your loan documents, additional fees/charges may apply. Start.Credit does not control the amount of fees and/or charges you may be faced with upon your nonpayment, late payment, or partial payment.
