Will checking my options impact my credit score?

Can I pay off my loan early?

Yes, LongLake Loans charges $0 prepayment penalties, allowing you to pay off your loan early at any time.

What happens if I miss a payment?

We charge a late payment fee of $15 or 5% of the unpaid amount. We encourage reaching out to our California-based support team if you anticipate payment issues.
