Qualifying in Lafayette: 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 Louisiana, the ceiling stays $350 and charges stay at 16.75% of check amount: nothing mutates after you apply.
What Louisiana Law Guarantees You
Extensions: Louisiana 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.
