What is New Credit America?

New Credit America is a licensed consumer finance company. It offers two types of loans: the DebtAway Loan and the Reload Loan.

  • DebtAway is a debt consolidation loan and is ideal for those who need to combine multiple debt accounts into one.
  • Reload is a personal loan with a maximum of $10,000.

You can apply for either loan type regardless of your credit score.

New Credit America offers fixed interest rates, payment amounts and loan terms. It charges no late fees and provides flexible payment options in some cases. You can start applying online and can stop the application process at any point before the documents are signed. Borrowers must be at least 18 years old (some states have more strict age requirements); you can find more information about eligibility and requirements on the website.

New Credit America loan services

New Credit America is a finance business that offers debt consolidation and personal loans. Debt consolidation loans are best for those who want to take several debt accounts and put them into one monthly payment. The company’s personal loans have a limit of $10,000 — these funds are deposited directly into a checking account.

Both loan types have fixed interest rates and no prepayment penalty or late fees. New Credit America’s loan terms are fixed based on payment amount, though the company offers payment flexibility in some cases. Payments are fixed based on interest rate, payment term and the amount borrowed.

New Credit America loan rates

New Credit America’s interest rates are fixed and depend on a variety of factors. These include your FICO credit score, income and loan amount.

Its debt consolidation loans may require a 5% origination fee and an APR of up to 29.99%, but both its debt consolidation loans and personal loans require no late fees or prepayment penalties. Expect fixed monthly payments.

New Credit America FAQ

Where is New Credit America available?

How much can I borrow from New Credit America?

Its debt consolidation amounts vary based on your level of debt. These loans require a 5% origination fee and an APR of up to 29.99%, and its personal loans max out at $10,000.

Does New Credit America charge fees on its personal loans?

New Credit America’s personal loans require no late fees and no prepayment penalties, but its debt consolidation loans may be subject to loan origination fees. It offers fixed interest rates.

What can I use my New Credit America loan for?

New Credit America’s debt consolidation loans can be used to take multiple debt accounts and combine them into one, creating one monthly payment. Its personal loans can be used for a wide variety of purposes.

Does New Credit America do a hard credit pull?

New Credit America’s website doesn’t specify whether or not it does a hard credit pull. That said, the company considers FICO scores, which typically requires a hard credit inquiry — so it’s safe to assume NCA does hard credit pulls.

Still have questions?

Is New Credit America legit?

Yes. It offers both personal and debt consolidation loans, and it promises all credit scores are welcome. This can be incredibly helpful for someone struggling to improve poor credit history. A fixed interest rate and no penalty fees make it all the more appealing, but there are still some features to be wary of: APRs can be as high as 29.99%, and you could be subject to a 5% origination fee. There’s also not much information online about the company, so it’s hard to get a sense of the typical customer experience.

As with all lenders, you should shop around and read real customer reviews to make sure you’re getting the best deal for your situation. That said, if New Credit America fits your needs, it’s likely a good choice.

    My wife and I had been married only for a year when I realized that she (we) were in deep debt with high interest rates on a few business and personal accounts. NCA had taken over the original consolidation loan we applied for and although the interest rate was higher than I had experienced before, I understood the risk that a loan institution takes to fund a loan for person(s) with medium or low credit scores. I made this a joint decision and although my credit score took a hit, I expected it. NCA was easy to work with and I had been laid off and requested a pause for a month while I secured a new job. In minutes of my request, it was done with no penalty. Picked up the following month and just paid it off early. I would recommend NCA to anyone who has financial issues.

    When I contacted New Credit America, they promised that my credit score would not be affected if we consolidated out debt. At the time, we had good credit, we had purchase power. I wanted to pay everything off in a short amount of time, (they est 4 yrs) so we consolidated. The shoe fell. They waited 3 months and in some cases 6 months to contact the merchant regarding consolidation. We were receiving call and letters from our creditors. We paid off the debt off within two years however, our credit scores not only hit bottom, all of the creditors remarked that the accounts were either paid via program or charged off. This is so disappointing because the plan was to purchase a new home, leave a legacy for our 4 children. Those dreams are gone. We can't apply for credit for 7 years! I am 67 years old and in 7 years I may not be alive! Your company staff lied to us!

      They wanted to consolidate all my credit cards. They worked with them by negotiating them. Then the shoe dropped. They wanted to loan me 31,000 over 5 yr and the payments each month would be 935.00. 935 x 5 yr = 56,000! That means they are making 25,000 off of me. Thank God I did not sign the contract. I am on a fixed income with a disabled husband. I guess they think that I can’t use a calculator.

      I was with a debt settlement company and got severely sick with Covid. While still tied to a oxygen concentrator at home, I was approached by this company recommended by my debt settlement company. It was made out to be a great deal and I didnt understand the fine print nor was I in any condition medically to consent to the terms. I would have paid off this debt by now and instead I'm stuck with this loan paying 23.99% which works out to be 50% of my monthly payment goes to interest every month. It's insanity. I will be paying off this loan for 5 years. The payment is more than my car payment.

      I tried to speak to them about how much of my payment is going to interest and they were unwilling to help at all. This company is a complete bait and switch. It was supposed to help me, I could have settled on the principles of this amount and not paid interest and the whole point was to get away from interest and now I'm paying 23.99%. Do not accept a consolidation loan from this company, it's just as bad as having credit cards.

      Response from New Credit America

      Thank you for the feedback. To highlight some advantages of this loan type, the interest is fixed, and there are no prepayment penalty fees or late fees. You can reduce the interest paid by making additional or larger monthly payments, which will help decrease the principal balance more quickly. Interest rates are also clearly disclosed in our loan documentation. We hope that you as well as others find this information helpful.

      I needed a loan to payoff loans into one payment. The loan process was very easy to fill out and they seem like they were on your side willing to go the extra mile for you to get done. Very please!!!!

      Was referred by my debt relief company when I had already settled 5 of 6 creditors, only one was outstanding. I had said I only wanted the outstanding under this program to my debt relief program and the rep for New Credit. No one said that would be a problem. Then the debt relief rep called said they had a settlement and wanted me to approve it. I said not without documentation as my experience with them had not been favorable as well.

      I got the documentation and it was not just the one card but all! I called new credit and the rep tried to tell me they get everything settled at once so it stops affecting to my credit. I told her that it was only 1 card still outstanding so that did not apply to me. That’s when the other shoe fell. She said it was company policy to include everything into one loan. So the debt relief company that was to save me 25% referred me to a loan company that’s rate is 29.7% which wanted that rate applied to my 5 settled accounts and one that was outstanding. No thank you! To anyone who is thinking of using this service definitely make sure you read all the fine print, ask for documentation via email, and most importantly protect yourself as these companies have not done this for me.

      Bait and Switch. So I received a pre-approved loan offer. So I decided to apply as I wanted to combined into 1 payment. My credit is fair not great but not bad. They denied the application and push you into debt settlement program. I have no need or desire for that just was looking to combine a few things into 1 payment. To have them try this was very deceiving and not reputable. Just be aware as they do a hard inquiry on your credit.

      So. ANCA (A New Credit America). I received a "Your Pre-Qualified" Debt Away Loan in the mail. Filled it out online, I get a hard inquiry on my credit report. They can't help with a loan, but they were willing to "Help Me" like when I signed up with their "Partner" Clear One Advantage. I told them "NO THANK YOU"! Robin Hood in reverse!!

      I signed up for debt consolidation because my credit card payments were getting too high. I was not late or behind on my payments until signing up with New Credit America. Apparently they let it go to the point that 1 of my creditors got a judgment against me which is negatively impacting my credit. The company that got the judgement was paid off but the judgement has not been removed from my credit and when I called to ask New Credit America about this they said it's my responsibility to dispute it to have it removed from my credit but at the time I signed up I was told that they would help monitor my credit to make sure things like this did not happen so that is not true.

      I was also not informed that if they make agreements with the companies to lower your debt that the company your indebtedness to can come after you at the end of the year and you have to pay it as part of your taxes so they do not help you in any way except to put you in more debt and make money off of you. I would not trust them again and I would advise you not trust them either. They are not here to help you. They are here to make money off of you.
