The second path is what this page prices: up to $1,000 under Illinois law, one soft-check request, written numbers first.

Qualifying in Oak Lawn: the Short List
No collateral, no co-signer. Lenders verify identity, income and an active account, and benefits or pension income counts with wages. Because the loan is governed by Illinois, the ceiling stays $1,000 and charges stay at 36% apr cap: nothing mutates after you apply.
What Illinois Law Guarantees You
Extensions: Illinois does not permit rollovers, so the loan ends on its scheduled date. Cancellation: you may rescind the loan, N/A, at no cost. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation licenses lenders and takes complaints. Check any company against that list before signing; the Illinois state page has the direct link.
