How borrowing works locally

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.

Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation. A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit.
