Your Personal Guide to Personal Loans
Whatever the reason is, thousands of people require personal
loas everyday to get themselves out of financial crisis. A personal
loan is:
- Typically "unsecured," meaning you do not have to
put up any collateral that you would risk losing if you failed
to repay.
- For small amounts of money -- usually between $2,000 and $5,000.
- Repaid fairly quickly; typically 2 to 3 years.

the money quickly but can't get it from friends, family, or personal
savings. In cash-strapped situations like these, a personal loan
is much cheaper than using a credit card or getting a cash advance.
A personal loan is also a preferred alternative to risking your
house getting foreclosed by missing a mortgage payment, car repossesed
for missing a payment, getting incurred several late fees on your
credit cards and utility bills, leaving a friend or family without
food, or facing whatever issues you may be faced with.
If you're not in a financial crisis, you should avoid a personal
loan like a plague. In generally, you should only consider personal
loans when there are no other options. A personal loan is great
when you really need emergency cash and cannot get it from your
savings, 401(k), friends, families, or another source with similarly
low interest rates -- in short, a personal loan is still cheaper
than credit card APRs (Annual Percentage Rate).
How to get a personal loan if you have a bad credit score
If you have a bad credit score, you will have a hard time finding
a personal loan with at competitive interest rates. Of course,
having trouble with credit in the past may be an indication to
avoid personal loans at all. But if you are running out of options,
and are confident and responsible enough to make the payments,
here are some helpful pointers.
- Consider a credit union. They are usually more forgiving and
less expensive.
- Stop by your own bank. If a credit union is out of the question,
the bank you do business with may be inclined to help you with
your personal loan. If you are in good terms with your bank,
they may be obliged to work with you on personal loans. Of course,
most banks don't offer personal loans, but it won't hurt to
ask -- afterall, you've got nothing to lose.
- Never apply for multiple loans at the same time -- you may
appear desperate and end up with no offers. If you get rejected
by one loan, it will surely decrease your chances of getting
approved by another lender, since "rejected" loans
often raise a red flag to other lenders. The best advice is
to be honest with loan officer you intend to work with, and
then apply for the loan you have the highest chance of getting.
- Offer some collateral. While personal loans are generally
unsecured, a helpful and good loan officer may be able to help
you borrow against an insurance policy, property, investment
or other asset. Of course, collateral makes it all the more
urgent you repay this loan as soon as possible.
- Get a co-signer. This is one of the options that is rarely
encouraged. The risks involved with a co-signer is much greater
than offering collateral or even using a credit card some times.
If you have great confidence that you can pay the loan without
further problems, then trying to get a friend or family to co-sign
for the loan may not be a huge deal. Keep in mind if you can't
repay the loan, you will run the risk of losing not only your
collateral but also your relationship with the friend or family.
Home Loans or Personal Loans
The interest on Personal loans are more expensive than that of
home loans. However, there's a major advantage to personal loans
-- no collateral. Since a personal loan is unsecured, you don't
lose any of your property if you default on the loan. Of course,
since the lender run the risk of you defaulting on the loan, personal
loans cost far more than home loans.
If you're in a financial crisis, you have to consider the worse
case scenario where your troubles may be compounded by another
unexpected financial crisis. What's most important is, if for
some reason you cannot pay back your loan, at least no one is
going to take away your home or car. But don't take this as an
excuse -- defaulting on a personal loan will damage your credit
score and impede your chances of getting future financial help
from lenders.
In the end, the best advice about personal loans might be not
to get one unless you absolutely have no other choices except
credit cards. If a personal loan really is your best option, make
sure to follow all the tips above when researching where to go.
