    Hi Jer,
    I’m confused about this. I’m seeing commercials here in Washington that state they will loan up to $5000. Wish I could remember the name, Native American owned however. Are the rules different for the Native American tribes than for the rest of us?

    Thought I’d bring it up because $700 limits…on a BMW? That’s ridiculous.
