Red Flags: How to Spot Predatory Lenders in New Jersey

The New Jersey Division of Banking and CFPB recommend watching for these warning signs when evaluating any lender:

No upfront charges before loan distribution. Trustworthy lenders licensed in New Jersey will not request fees prior to funding your loan. Be cautious of any requests for payments before loan delivery; they are often fraudulent.

Lack of licensing verification. Do not move forward with any lender who fails to present their New Jersey Banking Division license number. You can verify lenders at banking.New Jersey.gov.

APR not disclosed upfront. TILA requires APR disclosure before signing. If a lender refuses to state the APR clearly or buries it in fine print, this is a legal violation you can report to the CFPB.

Promises of guaranteed approvals. A responsible lender cannot assure approval without examining your application. Claims of 'guaranteed' loans are frequently a predatory marketing strategy.
