Frequently Asked Questions

Every legitimate lender conducts at least a soft credit check. If you accept an offer, the lender may perform a hard inquiry, which could impact your credit score. At Cash Loans Bear, we perform only a soft credit inquiry during the pre-approval stage.

Approved applications at Cash Loans Bear may be funded the same business day if submitted before 10:00 AM on weekdays. Otherwise, expect funds by the next business day.

Ohio law sets the minimum loan term at 91 days. Most states allow terms as short as 14 days, but Ohio requires a longer period to give borrowers more time to repay. The maximum term is 12 months.

You can consider credit union emergency loans, local assistance programs, or installment loans for bad credit in Ohio. Also, you may negotiate a payment plan directly with your creditor. Some of these options may cost less, though they can be harder to qualify for.

Your loan agreement will outline any fees that apply to late or missed payments. Ohio law restricts what lenders can charge in this situation. Criminal action and wage garnishment without a court order are both prohibited. Contact your lender right away if you think you may miss a payment.
