Terms of Use
Effective Date: February 2, 2026
1. Overview
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Cash Advance – UnScrewed mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "App"), operated by Screwed Up Credit LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
The App is a platform that allows users to explore potential cash advance or loan options offered by third-party financial partners. Screwed Up Credit LLC does not provide loans directly. All lending decisions, terms, and contractual obligations are determined solely by the third-party providers.
2. Eligibility
To use the App, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your state)
- Be a lawful resident of the United States
- Have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements
- Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information
- Use the App only for personal, lawful purposes
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
3. Loan Terms, APR & Repayment
3.1 APR Range
Annual Percentage Rates ("APR") reflect the yearly cost of borrowing, including interest and applicable fees. Offers displayed in the App may vary up to 35% APR based on:
- Your credit profile and history
- The loan amount requested
- Selected repayment term
- Lender underwriting criteria
- Applicable state and federal laws
All APRs, fees, and total repayment amounts are fully disclosed before you accept an offer.
3.2 Repayment Terms
Repayment schedules differ by lender and product. Typical terms range from 3 to 24 months. You will always receive a clear repayment plan showing:
- Total number of payments
- Amount of each payment
- Due dates for all payments
3.3 Payment Methods
Payments are generally processed via electronic transfers (ACH debit) from your bank account. Other options may be offered by the lender. Ensure sufficient funds are available to avoid late fees or returned-payment charges.
3.4 Fees & Charges
Any applicable fees — including origination, late, returned-payment, or expedited-processing fees — will be fully disclosed before you accept an offer. There are no hidden costs.
3.5 Early Payoff
Some lenders allow early repayment without penalties, potentially reducing total interest costs. Review each loan agreement for details on early payoff.

6. Data Accuracy & Authorization
By submitting information, you authorize Screwed Up Credit LLC to:
- Collect and process your personal and financial data

Providing inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information may result in denied requests, account suspension, or legal consequences.
