We Consider All Credit Types

At Little Lake Lending, we understand that credit scores don't tell the whole story. We consider applicants with:

• Good credit
• Fair credit
• Poor credit
• Limited credit history
• Past credit challenges

Our underwriting process looks at multiple factors beyond just your credit score, including your income, employment stability, and banking history.

What Might Affect Your Eligibility

While we consider all credit types, certain factors may affect loan approval or terms:

• Currently in active bankruptcy
• Existing outstanding loan with Little Lake Lending
• Insufficient income relative to loan amount requested
• Bank account with excessive overdrafts or negative balance
• State residency restrictions

State Availability

Little Lake Lending is a tribal lender operated by the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians. As a sovereign tribal entity, we are able to offer loans in many states. However, some states have restrictions that prevent us from lending to their residents.

To check if loans are available in your state, simply start our online application. The system will verify your state eligibility as part of the application process. If loans are not available in your area, we will let you know immediately so you don't waste time completing the full application.

Income Verification

We accept various forms of income to qualify for a loan:

• Employment income: Regular paychecks from an employer
• Self-employment: Income from your own business (may require additional documentation)
• Government benefits: Social Security, disability, veterans benefits
• Retirement income: Pension payments, 401(k) distributions
• Other regular income: Alimony, child support (if court-ordered)

The key factor is that your income must be regular and verifiable. We may ask for recent pay stubs, bank statements, or other documentation to confirm your income.
