Are you in need of a personal loan? Are you afraid that because you have bad credit you will struggle to find a lender that will be able to help you? Getting personal loans with bad credit has never been easier because lenders are struggling to find business right now. There are so many foreclosure, repossessions, and bankruptcies with the downturn of the economy that they lenders need to make loans just to make money. This is good for those of us with bad credit and here are your loan options.
First, you must check with your bank or credit union. There are many banks and credit unions that will go ahead and give you a personal loan regardless of your credit if you have good history with them, some collateral, like a car, or if you have investment accounts with them. You can get a loan against your investments or against your car and banks will work with you because of your relationship with them.
Second, there is always Prosper. Prosper is an online company that works like eBay only with loans. You can hop online, join Prosper, create a loan listing, and watch as other individuals bid on how much they are willing to lend you and at what rate. You should have no issues getting your loan funded and it will be done pretty quickly as well. The best part is if your loan funds early, then some of the bidders might be willing to fund your loan for a lower rate.
Last, if you absolutely have to there are always payday loans or cash advances that you can get for 30 days. These range from $100 to abut $1,500 and are completely based on your income. They usually do not even check your credit. They just require that you have a job and an active checking account. There may be other requirements as well, but these are the normal things that they look for when doing personal loans with bad credit.
