What a Thomaston borrower is actually offered

Thomaston is a small town of about 9,876 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. The rate you see advertised is a range, not a promise, until a lender reviews your file in Thomaston. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Thomaston loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
