Integrity in Lending - Putting Your Interests First

Responsible Lending

At SlickCashLoan, we've built our lender network around one principle: borrowers deserve fair treatment and clear information. Every lender in our network is expected to follow applicable federal, state, and local lending regulations. When we identify practices that fall short of these standards, we take action—including removing lenders from our network.

Our team monitors lending practices, reviews borrower feedback, and stays current on regulatory changes that affect short-term and installment lending. This page explains the key protections that apply to your loan and what you should expect from any lender you work with. For more about our process, visit About SlickCashLoan.

Lending rules vary significantly by state, which can make comparing options difficult. We've created resources to help you understand the process and typical costs: How It Works, FAQ, and Rates and Fees. We encourage you to borrow only what you can comfortably repay and to review any offer carefully before accepting.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

Lenders and their authorized collectors must follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This federal law sets clear boundaries on collection activity.

Practices that violate the FDCPA include using abusive or harassing language, calling at unreasonable hours (before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. in the borrower's local time), misrepresenting the debt or the collector's identity, and threatening legal action that isn't permitted.

If we receive credible reports that a lender or collector in our network is violating these rules, we investigate and may remove them from the network.

Fair Lending Act

Fair lending laws exist to ensure equal access to credit. Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), lenders cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or because an applicant receives public assistance.

Lenders can—and should—evaluate factors related to your ability to repay, such as income, employment history, and existing debt obligations. What they cannot do is use protected characteristics to deny credit or impose unfavorable terms.

Truth in Lending Act

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) requires lenders to provide clear, written disclosures before you commit to a loan. You should receive documentation that includes the annual percentage rate (APR), total finance charges, payment amounts, payment schedule, and any fees that apply.

These disclosures allow you to compare offers and understand the true cost of borrowing. If a lender doesn't provide clear terms upfront, that's a warning sign.

State Regulations

Many states impose additional rules on short-term and online lending, including caps on loan amounts, limits on fees and interest rates, restrictions on rollovers or renewals, and cooling-off periods between loans.

We track state-level regulations that affect borrowers in our network. For state-specific information and links to official regulatory sources, visit our Rates and Fees page.

SlickCashLoan connects borrowers with independent lenders. Each lender makes their own approval decisions and sets their own terms. We do not control loan decisions, rates, or servicing.
