Responsible Lending and Marketing Policy

BigStarLend is dedicated to working with responsible finance providers that prohibit abusive, misleading or fraudulent lending practices. At BigStarLend, we try to connect you with a lender that can offer you a shorter-duration loan. BigStarLend is not a lender and does not represent or endorse any lender. Rather, we strive to provide borrowers with adequate information about the loan request process and what your responsibilities are as a consumer to assist you in making informed and responsible loan decisions.

Prior to accepting any loan offer made to you by a lender, we recommend that you thoroughly review your lender’s policies. Each lender has different loan terms and conditions. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the details of your loan, please contact your lender directly.

Fair Lending Practices

Many of the laws that protect borrowers are federal regulations known as Fair Lending Laws. Below are some important Fair Lending Laws in effect throughout the U.S. mandated by the federal government.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act are meant to protect consumers from lenders who engage in unfair lending practices. The Act authorizes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) with the ability to enforce Fair Lending Laws. All consumers that use the services provided by BigStarLend are urged to file a complaint with the CFPB in the event a problem arises regarding your loan or relationship with your lender.

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) is designed to promote informed use of consumer credit by requiring disclosures about loan terms, costs, and fees in writing before the consumer takes any responsibility for the loan. TILA also gives consumers the right to cancel certain credit transactions that involve a lien on the consumer’s dwelling, provides a manner for fair and timely resolution of credit billing disputes and regulates credit card practices. The Act does not, however, regulate the charges that may be imposed for consumer credit. The lenders in our network are required to provide consumers with clearly written and identifiable interest rates, late fees, rollover charges and any other fees that may be associated with their loan before the consumer signs the loan documents.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) prohibits lenders from discriminating against any borrower on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided that the applicant has the capacity to contract), because an applicant receives income from a public assistance program, or because an applicant has in good faith exercised any right under CFPA. ECOA also sets forth requirements for accepting applications and providing notices of any adverse action taken on the application within 30 days of receiving a completed application.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to ensure that Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) furnish correct and complete information to businesses to use when they evaluate consumers’ information for credit, insurance, or employment. Under the FCRA, it is the consumers’ right to:

• Know what is in their file;
• Be told if information in their file has been used against them;
• Dispute incomplete or inaccurate information in their file, whereas consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete such information;
• Receive one free disclosure every 12 months upon request from each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies;
• Request a credit score from consumer reporting agencies for a fee;
• Limit access to their file to people with a valid need for access; and
• Limit unsolicited offers of credit and be given opt out rights of such communications.

Debt Collection Practices

BigStarLend supports all provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FDCPA prohibits collectors and collection attorneys from using undue harassment and other unethical practices when collecting debt. While the FDCPA does not apply to first party creditors, certain states have enacted laws similar to the FDCPA that does in fact apply to first party creditors. BigStarLend is not a lender and does not fund loans, therefore BigStarLend does not engage in debt collection practices. However, we consistently undertake to work with reputable lenders that abide by fair debt collection guidelines. These include without limitation:

• Not contacting consumers via phone before 8:00 am or after 9:00 pm;
• Not contacting consumers via phone with the intent to harass, annoy or use abusive language to belittle or threaten;
• Not attempting to collect debt through deception or misrepresentation; and
• Not resorting to threaten criminal charges or any legal action when no such action is allowed.

If at any time a lender does not conduct itself properly or violates a debt collection law or regulation, including any FDCPA statute, we suggest that you report the lender and such violations to the FTC. Any lender within our network found to be in violation of these guidelines will be immediately removed from our network and reported to law enforcement.

Implications of Late Payments

It is important to BigStarLend that you understand the consequences of making late payments on your loan. Late payments on your loan may result in additional fees or collection activities, or both. Each of our third party lenders has its own policies regarding late and partial payments as governed by state lending regulations. We strongly encourage you to review the late and partial payment policies provided in your loan document before signing the document so you understand any potential fees and penalties.

Implications of Non-Payment

Non-payment of credit could result in collections activities. Each of our third party lenders has its own policies regarding non-payment as governed by state lending regulations. BigStarLend strongly encourages you to review your particular lender’s policy on non-payment including any fees and penalties you may be subject to for non-payment. Lenders within our network should practice debt collection in a fair manner abiding by FTC policies.

Renewal Policy

Depending on your state’s laws, your lender may be able to offer plans to renew your shorter-duration loan, rollover options, and other ways of extending the re-payment period to help you make payments in full. Please be aware, renewal plans presented to you by your lender should only be undertaken in special circumstances after making all relevant considerations because the costs involved will add to the amount of money you will have to repay.

State Regulations

While lenders in our network follow federal regulations, individual states also have numerous laws for lending within their borders. These include strict adherence to local laws regarding interest rates, rollover limits and fees, presentment limits, maximum loan terms, cool-off periods between loans, and more.  It is important for consumers to educate themselves about their loan offer before considering whether or not to accept it, including the federal and state laws, rules, and regulations that apply.

Marketing Practices

Legal Disclaimers

CONSUMER NOTICE

Shorter-duration loans from third-party lenders are meant to provide temporary relief for financial needs and are not intended as long-term financial solutions. Consumers who have credit problems or who face debt should seek professional debt and credit counseling. Consumers are encouraged to learn of the risks involved with taking out shorter-duration loans, loan alternatives that may be more suitable for your financial needs and situation, and any local and state laws around shorter-duration loans in your state. If you accept the terms and conditions for a loan offer, you agree to repay the loan principal and finance charges according to the payment schedule detailed in the documents provided to you by your lender. We strongly encourage you to thoroughly read all loan agreements provided to you. If you miss a payment or make a late payment, additional fees or charges may apply. This website does not control the amount of fees or charges you may owe for nonpayment, late payment, or partial payment. Ask your lender for more information.

PAID BY LENDERS, LENDING PARTNERS, NETWORKS, OR OTHER MARKETERS

This website provides a free service that aims to connect consumers with lenders. Submitting a loan request allows us to connect you to third-party lenders, lending partners, other networks and marketers, and these parties pay us if they offer you a loan or if a lender within their network is able to offer you a loan. If you receive a loan offer, it is likely from the highest bidder and not from the lender who is able to offer you the best loan terms.

CREDIT IMPLICATIONS

Some third-party lenders may conduct credit checks with credit bureaus or obtain consumer reports through alternative providers to determine your eligibility for a loan. By submitting your information to us, you agree to allow us to share your information with those in our network and to allow those in our network to verify your information and check your credit. You are not obligated to contract with any third-party lender or party within our network.

Please be aware, tribal lenders are subject to tribal law and particular federal laws, which govern its loans and related agreements, but are exempt from abiding by state law. Please fully read and understand the terms of any loan offered by any lender. Do not agree to a shorter-duration loan offer that includes terms you do not agree to, or that you are unable to repay.
