What a Walker borrower is actually offered

Walker is a small community of about 201 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Walker lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Walker loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
