How borrowing works locally

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.

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.
