No deferred-presentment advances are permitted, so bad-credit borrowers face more credit-based underwriting.
What West Virginia's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
West Virginia law doesn't authorize deferred-presentment advances in any form.
What Actually Gets Checked
Licensed installment lenders are the only option, and they typically weigh credit history more heavily.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Deferred-presentment advances | Not permitted |
| Underwriting basis | Credit history weighted more |
