A Story About Signature Loans for People with Bad Credit
I can think of fifty or seventy-five reasons a person might need to take borrow some cash for a short period of time. Think through this scenario - it's April 5th, and in just ten short days the government is going to be looking for a rather large check in the mail from you. Your previous fiscal year went better than expected, which is turning out to be both a blessing and a curse now that you're staring at your obscenely large tax burden.
There's only one problem: although you had set aside a chunk of change to pay Uncle Sam, that account is now empty thanks to an impromptu trip to Las Vegas with some good friends. The government doesn't care how much fun you had in Vegas - they just want their money. You're in a position where you're going to either borrow some money to pay your taxes or incur some serious penalties and interest.
And here you are without the cash, and that's not all. You also don't have the good credit a person might use to borrow the cash you need to pay your taxes. It turns out having your brand new Chevy Truck taken back by the bank when you couldn't make your payments ruined your credit. If you had good credit any number of banks or credit card companies would give you the money to pay the government right now, but no such luck.
And now you face quite the dilemma - the government wants its money, your cash reserves are empty, and tax day isn't getting any further away. But it doesn't have to be a total loss - you can borrow the money you need, but it's going to take some creativity. You can find signature loans for people with horrible credit.
Let's establish the definition of a signature loan, but I suppose it's not too hard to understand. A person can go to a lender, put your name on an application, along with your address and some other personal information, and end up carrying out the money to get you through the week. Although it seems easy, it's not really going to be so simple.
A few complications may arise. One, you'll have to prove to the bank that you actually have earnings to justify their loan. A lender may not mind your bad credit as much if they see that your current income exceeds your personal expenses including the new payment on your loan.
And what about collateral? Collateral is defined as some valuable article the lender could sell on the open market if the borrower decided not to fulfill the obligations of the loan. It's a classic risk-minimizing tool for banks who want to be able to recover all or part of their lost money when they loan to flaky people. Be careful - if you use something you actually care about for collateral, you run the serious risk of losing your valued item.
Make a strong case to your prospective bank. Let them know you're a person of integrity, and you will repay the debt if they take a chance on lending you the money. And for future reference - don't spend your tax money in Vegas.
