It's just another payday lender and as a short-term loan, you'll still fork out over $1000 in interest on the $1200 borrowed. Stay away and buyer beware.
Installment loans aren't all that helpful per FICO scoring. You're better off putting a few hundered into a secured CC somewhere and you'll build credit much, much faster and save over a thousand in the process.

Do you know your FICO scores? Oddly enough, or at least it seems to me anyway, lenders don't like to loan money when you need it, but offer it when you don't need it. Definitely try your local CU; they tend to be a bit more flexible and generous. In the meantime I'd aggressively pay it down.

find a new credit union.......
