It must be very tough raising 3 kids while working full-time so I take my hat off to you.
In this post, I will be answering the questions above and I will offer 10 ways to get loans for bad credit.
I will also be advising you on how to avoid getting into debt with 10 tips on personal finance as well as 10 tips for improving and repairing your credit.
Reader Questions:
Question 1: Can you get a loan with bad credit?
You can get a loan with bad credit. Unfortunately, you will have to pay more in interest.
You can get loans for bad credit with direct lenders and loans for bad credit with no guarantor. You do have a lot of options with bad credit but you will have to pay more.
Question 2: How can I get approved for a loan?
To get approved for a loan you must be in employment for at least 6 months. You must be over the age of 18 and be a U.S. Citizen. You must make at least 1000 dollars per month after taxation to be eligible for a decent loan with reasonable interest.
Question 3: How can I borrow money with bad credit?
The best way to borrow money with bad credit is via a broker company like Better Loans Mutual. You can get a loan for bad credit with no guarantor.
The application process takes about 3 minutes and you get a decision within 12 hours. If everything checks out you could get the money in your bank account within 24 hours.
Better Loans Mutual offer installment loans so you can choose how long you need to repay the loan, unlike payday loans. These loans are cheaper than payday loans. You can submit an application by clicking the image below.
Question 4: How do I get a payday loan with bad credit?
You can get a payday loan with bad credit. You can find plenty of payday lenders by just doing a search for it using your location.
I would not recommend a payday loan because they are expensive and want payments quickly. Some payday loans want you do settle the loan on payday or within 3 months.
These types of loans can cost a lot, and if you fail it pay it on time you will incur some heavy fines. It is better to use a company like Better Loans Mutual above.
Question 5: Can you take out a loan with no credit history?
It is hard to get unsecured loans with bad credit. It is impossible to get an unsecured loan with no credit.
The only exception is when you take out a car title loan or when you use a security as collateral. If you fail to make payments on time your security will be taken to pay off the loan.
Question 6: What is a loan broker?
A loan broker is a company which has a panel of brokers. They take your details and pass them over to the panel of lenders and then get the best deal for you. This is exactly what Better Loans Mutual above does.
