Information and tips on unsecured loan for bad credit

Friday, Oct 12, 2007

Question: who will give a loan for about 5000 bad credit. I want to clean up my bad credit,no home ownership.

Answer: Your ability to find a lender willing to loan you money will depend of several factors, primarily your credit score, your income, and your assets. You state that you do not own a home, which means that you cannot take out a home equity loan.

However, if you have other assets, such as a vehicle, you may be able to borrow money using those assets as collateral. Interest rates on secured loans tend to be significantly less than unsecured notes, which is especially helpful for those with credit problems.

With poor credit, you may not be able to find
an unsecured loan to fit your needs. If you do find a loan, you should expect to pay a premium in interest for the credit risk you pose to the lender. Many banks are hesitant to lend to borrowers with poor credit. Luckily, there are alternative lending sources that you should explore, such as Prosper
( www.prosper.com ), where private lenders offer loans to private borrowers.
