Short term loans, also known as payday loans, are legal in Nashville. All cash advance lenders in Tennessee have to abide by provisions laid out in the Deferred Presentment Services Act, Tennessee Code Annotated 45-17-101. The most you can borrow through a cash advance or a payday loan is $500. The maximum loan term is 31 days. Tennessee payday loan laws state that cash advance lenders cannot initiate criminal action against borrowers who default. However, defaulters may be subject to civil action. As a borrower, you should make sure the lender you deal with has a valid license.

Why might you consider taking out a short term loan in Nashville?

  • Bad credit is OK. If poor or bad creditworthiness is getting in your way of getting a conventional loan, you can consider applying for a cash advance. In addition to looking at your credit score, payday lenders also take into account your ability to repay along with your existing financial situation.
  • Apply easily. Finding payday loan locations in Nashville is easy, given the number of cash advance lenders in this city. You can even apply for an online cash advance from the comfort of your home or office.
  • Get money quickly. Cash advance lenders tend to process applications and disburse funds quicker than regular banks. If you apply in-store, you can get your money soon after your application’s approval. With online applications, several lenders disburse approved funds by the next business day.
  • Use funds for any purpose. What you do with proceeds from a cash advance is basically up to you. You can use this money to get by a rough patch, to repair your car, to fix your home, to pay bills or to travel.

What fees and charges do Nashville payday loans come with?

Fees that lenders can charge for a cash advance in Nashville have to be in line with stipulations of the state’s payday lending laws. Here’s what you may have to pay:

  • Maximum finance rate and fees. Cash advance lenders cannot charge a finance charge exceeding 15% of a check’s face value. For a 14-day $100 loan the maximum finance charge you’ll have to pay is $17.65. The maximum APR for a 14-day $100 loan is 459%.
  • Collection fees. If you default on your loan, you may have to pay any court fees that your lender has to bear.
  • Rollover fees. State payday lending laws don’t permit cash advances to be rolled over.
