Some lenders don’t play fair. Predatory lending targets people in need — offering quick cash with hidden costs and sky-high interest. This module helps you recognize these traps, avoid unfair terms, and protect your financial health.

You’ll learn to read the fine print, understand annual percentage rates (APR), and recognize red flags in offers that promise “instant approval” or “no credit check.” Smart borrowers ask questions, compare offers, and never sign what they don’t understand.

  • Identify common types of credit traps and scams.
