Who Writes These Guides

Four writers, each with a beat they worked in before they wrote about it. Every guide carries the name of the person who wrote it.

• Dana Whitfield Consumer credit writer What the products are and how the request-to-repayment cycle works Read profile
• Greg Halloran Personal finance writer Cost math: APR, fees, interest and worked examples Read profile
• Kara Lindholm Consumer credit writer Credit reports, eligibility and applying safely Read profile
• Wes Hartley Consumer rights writer Collections, lawsuits, garnishment and borrower rights Read profile

How We Work

Each writer keeps to the beat they know. Cost claims come with the arithmetic in the same paragraph. Legal claims name the statute section or the federal rule, and the source list at the foot of the page links to it. Where a rule differs by state, the guide says which states and points to the state page.

What you will not find from any of them: lender rankings, paid placement, approval rates, star ratings, or reviews we cannot verify. Flash Cash Advance runs a request form and earns a referral fee when a request is matched, which is disclosed on every page and has no bearing on what the guides say.
