What happens if you don't pay back a personal loan (2024)

*Not all loan requests are approved. Approval and loan terms vary based on credit determination and state law. Applications approved before 10:30 a.m. CT Monday – Friday are generally funded the same business day. Applications approved after this time are generally funded the next business day. Some applications may require additional verification, in which case, the loan if approved, will be funded the business day after such additional verification is completed.

†MILITARY LENDING ACT COVERAGE. Because all the loans CreditNinja makes or arranges exceed the Military Lending Act’s 36% MAPR limit, CreditNinja does not offer loans to individuals covered by the MLA. To determine whether an individual is covered the MLA, we obtain a report from a national consumer reporting agency. We also ask the above question as an added precaution to ensure compliance with the MLA.

Under the MLA, “servicemember” generally means a regular or reserve member of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard, serving on active duty under a call or order that does not specify a period of 30 days or fewer. “Dependent” generally means a servicemember’s spouse, child under age 18, or other individual for whom a servicemember provided more than half the individual’s support in the past 180 days.

If you want to check whether you are covered by the MLA, you may submit a single-record request on the officialMLA website.

HIGH COST DISCLOSURE. The loans made or arranged by CreditNinja have a high APR and are not recommended as a long-term financial solution. Additionally, these loans typically include a loan origination fee that is generally not refunded if you prepay the loan. Your choice of a loan product should match your needs and ability to repay. Consider carefully the amount, term, and finance charges for any loan. If you choose a high interest loan, reduce your finance charges by paying more than the minimum installment payment. Paying late increases your finance charges and may cause you to incur a late fee. Customers with credit difficulties should seek consumer credit counseling.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
