How borrowing works locally

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one. A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached.
