How borrowing works locally

A payday advance is repaid on a pay date, while an instalment loan is repaid over a set number of payments.

A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit. A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.
