What if my credit record is poor or I don't have a job?

Your application is reviewed on the basis of your ability to make the monthly payments to pay back the loan. Your Social Security, disability or retirement benefits are taken into consideration as income. Your debt, stability in your residence and job are also considered. Some applicants are denied, but Access Loan New Mexico's criteria are more flexible than most banks.

How much money can I borrow?

Generally, you can borrow up to $50,000. You may apply for the amount you need, but actual loan amounts will depend on the item purchased and your ability to repay.

Access Loan New Mexico is a federally-funded project of the National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), U.S. Department of Education under P.L. 105-394, The Assistive Technology Act of 1998 Grant No. H224C010017.
