Qualifying in Castro Valley: the Short List
Paperwork is minimal by design: proof you are 18, income you can document (stubs, benefit letters, bank deposits), and the account that will receive the deposit. California keeps the offer honest, $300 at most with 15% of face value in fees, and the full disclosure lands before the signature, not after.
What California Law Guarantees You
Extensions: California does not permit rollovers, so the loan ends on its scheduled date. Cancellation: you may rescind the loan, End of next business day, at no cost. The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation licenses lenders and takes complaints.
