What a Dougherty borrower is actually offered

Dougherty is a small community of about 194 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. The APR tracks your credit score rather than Dougherty's rank of 430th in Oklahoma: a strong file may earn a single-digit rate, while damaged credit can push the rate far higher. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Dougherty loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
