DISCLAIMER: At HardshipHero, LLC (“HardshipHero,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to providing a transparent and compliant platform. The following disclaimer outlines our services, limitations, and important disclosures. By using this website, you agree to these terms.
NON-LENDER STATUS AND AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS: HardshipHero, LLC is not a lender, loan broker, or credit decision-maker. We do not provide cash advances, offer loans, or directly engage in lending activities. This website is not an offer or solicitation to lend. Our services function as a lead generation platform that connects individuals seeking financial assistance with third-party service providers, including lenders and financial institutions. We may receive compensation from these third-party partners for referring potential customers or forwarding user information.
LENDERS: The third-party lenders we work with are solely responsible for their loan offerings, decisions, and transactions, including compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. HardshipHero has no control over, nor responsibility for, the actions, disclosures, or agreements provided by these third-party lenders. Your engagement with a lender is subject to their specific terms and conditions.
TRIBAL LENDERS: You may be matched with a tribal lender governed by tribal and certain federal laws, which are immune from state laws, including usury caps. Tribal lenders may offer loan terms that differ from state-regulated lenders, often with higher interest rates and fees. In the event of disputes, tribal lenders may require resolution within a tribal jurisdiction. Please carefully review their terms and conditions before proceeding.
LEAD AGGREGATORS: Your information may be sent to an aggregator, not directly to a lender, and may be sold multiple times, resulting in offers from multiple lenders or marketers. Lenders may supplement your information with data from other sources to assess your eligibility for services. HardshipHero does not guarantee that all lenders can provide the specific loan type, rate, or terms you are seeking.
HOW WE MAKE MONEY: HardshipHero earns revenue through affiliate marketing and lead generation by connecting users with third-party financial service providers. When you interact with our partners’ services through our platform, we may receive a referral fee or commission. This does not affect the cost of services provided to you, nor does it impact the financial recommendations we make based on your circumstances. Our partners include debt settlement companies, loan providers, legal service firms, and others.
LOAN TERMS AND RATES: Consolidation loan options offered by our affiliates typically range from $1,000 to $50,000, with Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) between 6.99% and 35.99%. Origination fees can range from 0% to 10%, with loan terms from 12 to 60 months. As an example, a typical personal loan might involve:
Loan amount: $23,760
Origination fee: 4.95% ($1,176)
Interest rate: 18.00%
Repayment term: 48 months
Monthly payment: $697.95
APR: 20.89%
The borrower would receive $22,584 after the origination fee deduction, with a total interest of $9,741.60 and total loan cost (interest plus origination fee) of $10,917.72. Total payments made would equal $33,501.60. Only the most creditworthy borrowers receive the highest loan amounts at the lowest rates.
CASH TRANSFER TIMES: Times vary depending on lender practices and applicable local laws. In some cases, additional documentation such as faxing may be required. Credit checks may be performed to assess your creditworthiness.
THIRD-PARTY RELATIONSHIPS AND NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS: While we strive to connect users with financial services that match their needs, HardshipHero makes no guarantee regarding the availability of loan offers, financial outcomes, or terms provided by third-party lenders. The financial solutions presented are based on individual circumstances and lender discretion. We cannot ensure that you will qualify for any specific loan, rate, or terms. Short-term loans are a costly form of credit and should be used responsibly.
STATE-SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS: Residents of Connecticut, New Hampshire, Washington, and Vermont are not eligible to request cash advances or participate in certain loan services offered through this website. Additionally, this service may not be available in all states, and availability may change without notice.

We encourage users to understand the full terms and implications of any loan or financial service before engaging with a third-party provider.
NON-DISCRIMINATION: HardshipHero does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or any other protected characteristic. All individuals are treated equally in their interactions with our platform and our third-party partners.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HardshipHero, LLC, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT.
