How borrowing works locally

A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached.

An application usually asks for identification, income evidence, banking details and a statement of obligations. A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit.
