Answer 1

The answer is: There is a relatively small difference in the total finance charge between mainstream and alternative financial service providers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternative financial services include pawnshops, check cashers, payday lenders, auto title lenders and rent to own shops. All of these alternatives charge very high interest rates, for example payday lenders charge on average at least 400% APR, while pawn shops or auto title lenders can charge up to 300% APR.
