Gatlinburg is a small community of about 3,701 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. A lender serving Gatlinburg's 3,701 residents must disclose the APR and finance charge in writing before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Gatlinburg loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
