What is a bad credit loan? (Page 1 of 2)
Bad Credit Loans
A bad credit loan is a type of loan that is offered to individuals that have poor credit.
How do you know if you have bad credit?
First, before you apply for a loan, you should write the credit bureau to get a copy of your credit report.
How can you tell if you have bad credit?
If you are receiving calls from a collection agency, you have bad credit.
You have bad credit if you have three or more late payments on your credit report.
But there is more!
You also have bad credit if you have any of the following on your credit report:
Unpaid closed accounts. This could be credit cards, auto loans, home loans, apartment lease, cellular phone, cable bills and much more.
Any account that is closed and was not paid off will show a charge off on your credit report.
This is one of the worst items that you can have on your credit report. It tells the person that checks your credit that you will never pay off the bill.
You can also get bad credit by co-signing for another person.
For example, you could co-sign for a person to get a new car, loan or apartment. If the person you co-signed with is ever late of a payment, that would cause you to have bad credit.
How To Clean Up A Bad Credit Report
If you would like to clean up or repair your credit, your first step is to order your credit report.
Once you have received your report, you should either pay off any unpaid bills on your report or contact the account holders to make some type of payment arrangement.
It is always better to pay the bill off if possible. If you owe a large amount of money, you may want to contact a debt consolidation service.
For a small fee, they would contact each account holder to work out a payment plan that you could afford.
They would combine all of your bills into one monthly payment. This service would improve your credit history over time.
If all of your accounts are paid off and still show a history of late payments, you could hire a credit restoration service. Credit restoration or credit repair companies can contact the credit bureau to try to get them to remove the late payments from your credit report.
These types of services can only help you to clean up your credit history if you have already paid off your accounts. The reason why your account must be paid off for a credit repair company can be able to help you, is because the credit repair service will send a letter to the credit bureau requesting to have all the negative items removed from your credit report.
The credit bureau will send all your account holders a letter stating that you would like to remove the negative information that they sent to the credit bureau about your account. If your account holder does not respond to the credit bureau’s letter, the credit bureau would have to remove the information from your credit report. There is a much better chance that the account holder will not respond to the credit bureau if your accounts are closed and paid off. If your accounts are not paid off, the account holder knows if they respond to the credit bureau, the negative items will stay on your credit report.
Loan Car Title For Cash
One can easily avail loan car titles for getting quick cash. Car loan companies provide car title loans using your cars title as collateral. These loans offer you with a big advantage allowing you to get the car for drive even during the car title loan period. People who need quick capital and who wish to avoid the hassles of dealing with a bank can go for car title loans.
To be eligible for this loan, primarily the applicant needs to have a clear title to his car. This makes any existing loan on your car needs to be paid off before you can avail this loan. In general, the duration of a car title loan is 30 days. One can either pay off or extend it at the end of the loan term. For extending the loan, the existing interest has to be paid. The loans can also be paid off at any point of the loan term.
Car loan companies go easy on their customers credit histories, since these loans are secured by the value of the car. Most companies do not make credit checks. Many other companies advance cash to the car owners even with a bad credit history. The car title loan process is really simple and hassle-free. Once you make a contact with a loan company, a representative of the company will assist you in getting the money you need. Amounts land by the loan companies are determined by the wholesale value of the vehicle.
A few factors like the year of the car, its make, model, mileage and condition are taken into consideration. After a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, the company determines its value and the amount you can borrow. Loan companies offer flexible loan programs and you can choose the program that would best suit your needs. Once the car owner repays the loan, the company returns the title to the car.
