A statewide database check tracks outstanding advances, not credit history.
What Michigan's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
Michigan caps advances at $600 and checks a statewide database to prevent loan-stacking across lenders — not to check credit.
What Actually Gets Checked
Approval is generally based on income and repayment ability, favoring bad-credit applicants with steady pay.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Database check | Statewide, electronic |
| Credit-score cutoff | None |
