Ask these at the counter

  1. 1

    What is the total of all payments, in dollars?

    Not just the monthly figure. Ask whether insurance is added, and whether it is optional.

  2. 2

    What happens if I’m late?

    Ask for the late fee in dollars and whether they call your employer or references.

  3. 3

    Can I pay it off early?

    Ask them to confirm there is no charge for paying early.

A cheaper route

Before you borrow here, ask a credit union about a small-dollar loan.

A Payday Alternative Loan (PAL) from a federal credit union is $200–$2,000, repaid over 1–12 months, capped at 28% a year plus a $20 fee at most. You usually join the credit union first, which can take a day.
