Consent

You acknowledge that you have read the information about electronic signatures and doing business electronically in this consent for electronic records. You consent to using electronic signatures, having all records provided or made available to you in electronic form and to doing business with us electronically. You acknowledge that you may request a paper copy of the records, which we will provide to you at no charge.

Rates & Fees

Please remember that United Credit is not a lender and does not provide lending services directly to consumers. United Credit assists consumers with setting up a payment plan through their provider. The Truth in Lending Act requires that all fees and interest rates that you will incur are disclosed if you accept the terms of the payment plan. Thus, all fees and interest rates will be disclosed to you before you are asked to sign the payment plan documents. Please review the fee and rate information provided to you thoroughly and completely before agreeing to the terms of the payment plan. You are under no obligation to accept these terms. If you decide the terms that your provider has given to you are acceptable, United Credit will direct you as to how to e-sign for your payment plan.

The fees and interest rates are determined solely by your merchant, provider or lender, with specific amounts determined based upon the information you submitted. You are under no obligation to continue with the payment plan process if you find these terms are unsuitable.

Applicant Age

Due to lender policies the person who is receiving the services is required to be listed as the main applicant if 18 years of age or older. If you believe the person who is receiving the services has non-qualifying credit, an option to add a 2nd applicant is provided at the end of this application. Funding may be canceled or declined if the person receiving the services is over the age of 18 and is not on the application ­(if the person receiving the services is a minor, please list the minor’s legal guardian as the primary applicant).

SMS Terms and Conditions for Application Alerts

The United Credit SMS alert program sends text reminders regarding the status of an applicant’s application throughout the process. United Credit is not responsible for any charges from a person’s service provider that may result from us providing this service. It is the applicants responsibility to check with their individual carrier, as standard messaging and data rates may apply. United Credit assumes no responsibility for charges incurred by our text messaging service.

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record all information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
