How borrowing works locally

Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time.

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent. A payday advance is repaid on a pay date, while an instalment loan is repaid over a set number of payments.
