SET Financial is a lead-connection service for new loan requests, not the lender. Not everyone who applies will be matched or approved.

Before you borrow in Lee's Summit: check Jackson County assistance

If the pressure is an energy bill or a disconnection notice, there is a program for exactly that, and it is not a loan. Missouri runs LIHEAP energy assistance through local agencies, so reaching the right one for your county is the whole trick.

Jackson County applies through Mid America Assistance Coalition (MAAC)

Phone: 816-768-8900

Lee's Summit is mostly in Jackson County (with a small southern portion in Cass County), so residents' state LIHEAP applications route through MAAC, the same agency serving Kansas City and Independence.

Check any Lee's Summit lender before you borrow

Consumer lenders in Missouri are overseen by the Missouri Division of Finance. Before you hand over a Social Security number, confirm the lender is licensed and understand how the state handles rates. Whatever the offer, read the APR and total repayment on your own loan agreement, which is what actually governs your loan.

See our Missouri loan rates and rules guide for how to verify a lender and what the state's rate rules are.

Talk to Evergy before the bill becomes a loan

Assistance funding runs out, but a utility's own payment arrangement usually does not, and it is the step people skip. If a disconnection notice is already in hand, say so when you call: the options before a shutoff are meaningfully better than after one, and a reconnection fee is money you never get back.

If you do request a loan

SET Financial is not the lender on new requests. You submit one request and we work to match it with third-party lenders. Whether anyone responds, and on what terms, is their decision. Compare any offer on these four things:

  • APR, the only number that compares two loans honestly.
  • Total repayment over the full term, not just the monthly payment.
  • The payment dates against your actual pay dates.
  • Late and returned-payment fees.

Common questions

Are there loan options in Lee's Summit, Missouri?

Yes. SET Financial is not the lender on new requests, but Lee's Summit residents can submit one request that we work to match with third-party lenders. Approval, rates, and terms are set by the lender, not by SET Financial, and a match is never guaranteed.

Where do Jackson County residents get help with an energy bill?

Jackson County residents apply for LIHEAP energy assistance through Mid America Assistance Coalition (MAAC) (816-768-8900). Missouri routes LIHEAP through local agencies, so confirm current funding and eligibility with the agency, or check the state's LIHEAP directory if you are unsure which agency serves you.

How can I check whether a lender is licensed in Missouri?

Consumer lenders in Missouri are overseen by the Missouri Division of Finance. Confirm a lender is licensed there, and see our Missouri loan rates and rules guide for how the state handles rates and how to verify a lender before you borrow.

SET Financial is not the lender on new requests and does not guarantee approval, funding, rates, or terms. Programs, contact details, and eligibility change, so confirm current details directly with the agency or the state LIHEAP directory. This page is general information, not legal or financial advice.
