Does anyone know anything about bad credit loans?

Question by Naitto: Does anyone know anything about bad credit loans?
A friend of mine is trying to get a loan but his credit might not be to good. I know there’s a bunch of scams out there so I’m not really sure where to look anymore. I know some banks offer them but do you have to have an account with their company? I also know you can go online but that of course is where you get scammed. Does anyone have any experience here?

Best answer:

Answer by My Take on It
With bad credit, you are not going to get a loan. Period.

The only thing your friend *might* qualify for if he has a job is a payday loan. And those are a huge spiral downward anyways!

You may qualify for an FHA loan. The down payment is low and the credit scores aren’t as important.

Question by zozosammy: Is there a type of debt consolidation for payday loans?
I’ve met with a lawyer to start to file for bankruptcy. The two main components of my debt are a car repo, which for some reason I still owe around $ 6000, and some payday loans, which I owe around $ 3000. I’m trying to find a way around bankruptcy, if any, does anyone have any ideas?

Answer by oilman11977
Bankruptcy should always be a last resort. Have you tried to make payment arrangements with the creditors. (payments you intend to keep) They will usually be anxious to receive monthly payments, because if you go bankrupt they may get nothing.

Q&A: Use student loans or obtain home equity line?

Question by Kristy: Use student loans or obtain home equity line?
My employer pays for my tuition, but I am still eligible to take out student loans. I am debating if I should continue to use student loan money to “fix-up” my house, or just take out a home equity line. I know if I take out a loans, and if I stay in school I can keep the loans deferred and just pay when I can, but a home equity loan would require immediate payments. Also, if I hit a rough patch I can request a forbearance request. Any thoughts??

Best answer:

Answer by v b
So, you are going to lie on your loan applications that you need the money for tuition when you aren’t actually paying tuition.

Since your employer will only reimburse you if you pass the courses, this may actually be allowed. However, if you do get reimbursed, you can’t deduct any interest on your taxes and you would be a fool to not pay off the loan immediately.

Stick to the home equity line of credit or no loans at all.

Just because your house was for sale and now it’s not, has no impact on whether you can refinance or not.
You have to have 80% equity to be eligible for a home equity loan.

Is there a consolidation loan to pay off payday loans?

Question by ctbizness: Is there a consolidation loan to pay off payday loans?
I made a huge mistake in using payday loans to help pay bills during a rough time. Now I can’t get from under them and it’s hard to pay on my regular bills. My credit is 495 therefore it has been hard to get a loan.
Is there help for me? Once i can get these loans paid I can make the monthly pay’ts.

Answer by raringvt
Yuck…payday loans stink. There’s a reason they’re popping up all over in lower income areas—they’re very profitable.

I’m sure there are loans that you could use to consolidate. I would try to get a 0% APR credit card, but you’ll have trouble with your marginal credit score–just like with any other loan.

You should consider selling assets–car, junk on ebay, etc to pay this thing off ASAP.
