This page explains the fair-lending and disclosure principles Credit N Lending expects across the marketplace experience.
Credit N Lending does not approve, decline, or fund loans. Those decisions remain with the matched partner.
Borrowers should compare APR, fees, term length, and full repayment cost instead of focusing on one headline number.
APR, fees, term length, and licensing requirements differ by state and product type.
Why this policy exists
Credit N Lending is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. Our role is to route consumers to lending and home-equity partners that may be able to serve the request.
We aim to work with partners that provide clear disclosures, fair treatment, and lawful lending practices. Applicants should still review each lender disclosure carefully before moving forward.
Fair-lending principles
We support lending practices that comply with laws such as the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and other anti-discrimination standards. Credit decisions should not be based on protected characteristics where prohibited by law.
Applicants who believe they were treated unfairly should contact the lender directly and may also choose to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or the appropriate state regulator.
Truth-in-lending and APR transparency
Lenders are responsible for disclosing APR, repayment terms, fees, and other material loan terms before an applicant becomes obligated on the credit agreement.
Credit N Lending encourages applicants to compare APR, total repayment cost, payment size, and fee structure rather than focusing on a single marketing number.
Collections, hardship, and repayment risk
If you accept a loan, you are responsible for repaying it according to the lender agreement. Late or missed payments may trigger fees, negative reporting, collections activity, or other consequences described by the lender.
Credit N Lending does not collect debts and does not control a lender collection strategy. If hardship occurs, contact the lender as early as possible to discuss available options.
State-by-state compliance
Loan products, terms, and licensing rules differ by state. Not every product is available in every jurisdiction, and state law may cap APR, fees, or term length.
Applicants should confirm that a lender is properly licensed and should review state-specific disclosures when required.
