Sarah M., Denver, CO⁵: “Going through my divorce was emotionally draining, and then the legal bills started piling up. My lawyer needed a $5,000 retainer that I just didn’t have in savings.

Having that financial stress off my shoulders let me focus on what really mattered during this difficult time.”

My credit took a hit during the separation, but Yup Loans found me a lender who looked at more than just my credit score.
