Bad Credit Loans For A Variety Of Customers

By Greg Jardim


If you have a poor credit rating and need emergency cash, one way to find money is to apply for a bad credit loan. You can choose from different loans, intended for a variety of customers - from unsecured loans.

Borrowers who want to apply for an unsecured bad credit loan will be glad to find out that even applicants with compromised credit qualify. You may use the money to pay overdue bills, refinance, do home repairs, or if you face an emergency cash crisis. While bad credit personal loans are a fairly new offering, banks and other financial establishments recognize that poor credit does not always translate into default. In order to secure the loan, however, you should have a clear purpose for the funds, and this will determine the loan's terms, interest rate, and repayment.

Borrowers who want to apply for a bad credit car loan or bad credit loan may want to first apply with their bank. If you are not a likely applicant, you may shop over the Internet for other lenders.

Be clear why you need a bad credit loan. For instance if you need financing to buy a home, car, or some big-ticket item, you should try to improve your credit score. Thus, you will improve your chances of getting better terms and interest rate. In general, bad credit loans are intended as a form of short-term financing for home repairs, debt repayment, vacations, weddings, etc. Even if you qualify for a loan, the interest rates, closing costs, and fees will be usually higher compared to regular loans.

When applying, you will have to present relevant documentation (e.g. you have to prove you are of legal age and a Canadian citizen). Some lenders will require a proof that you have some asset to be used as collateral, along with a stable income to pay back your loan. Depending on the reason why you need the loan, the creditor may want you to present a residential proof, showing that you have been residing at your home within a specified period. You should have a checking account at the time you are applying. Your bank details are needed so that money can be transferred to your account.

If you are looking for a bad credit car loan, you may check with dealerships that specialize in such loans. At the same time, you should offer a down payment or deposit if you have a poor credit score. Most likely, you will be offered a car loan with a high interest rate.

Read the terms and conditions carefully. If you are not happy with them, remember that you are not required to accept all of them without negotiating. You may also want to review your loan documents. The information contained in them should match the terms and conditions you agreed to.
