What shapes a Cadillac personal loan

A Cadillac personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 10,430 residents. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Cadillac lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Cadillac loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
