Flag of the State of Illinois When your bills are piled higher than the Willis Tower, and your bad credit is leaving you more worn out that an Illinois winter, wouldn’t it be nice to know where you could find an installment loan?

Whether you live downstate in East Cape Girardeau, or up in Chicagoland, being broke is no fun. If you’re driving to the Jewels in Waukegan and get in a fender bender, or if your frunchroom floorboards are rotting in Quincy, you’ll need some money to take care of those problems. Maybe you had a few too many brewskis and decided it would be a good idea to open that next bottle with your teeth. It’s going to cost a lot to get that fixed at your dentist in Decatur.

If you need to buy a new couch in Peoria because your nephew spills his grape pop all over yours, or if you need to go to the hospital after you get woozy looking down from the Skydeck, these things aren’t cheap. That bang on the head ends up getting you an ambulance ride – that’s not exactly how you want to spend your night, or your money. You’re going to have to find a way to pay for these – and an installment loan would be the best way. But where can you find one?
