Declare bankruptcy. It will hurt your credit rating but it seems like that’s your only option.

Do Companies that give bad credit personal loans allowed to ask for a couple months payment up front?

Question by thinline: Do Companies that give bad credit personal loans allowed to ask for a couple months payment up front?
I applied for a bad credit perosnal loan online. A company called Birchmount Lending called stating i was approved for 5000.00, with monthyl payments of 224.54 for 2 years. But since my credit wasnt the best i would have to give them 4 payments upfront. Tell me what you think

I think you need to tell them you’re not interested. Your interest rate will be so high. Legitimate loan companies don’t ask for money up front.

It sounds like you are a strong candidate for bankruptcy. If your condition allowed some way to recover, it would be different. From your description, I get the impression that this would not be possible. Bankruptcy will give you a fresh start, and I would not delay. I have been in the position many years ago, and been bankrupt; I understand the difficulty. I also rebuilt my life and now have top notch credit and am strongly financially secure. In some conditions bankruptcy is a new start, not the finale.

Do you need an installment loan to maintain or build credit?

Question by AquaAngel: Do you need an installment loan to maintain or build credit?
By the end of this year, I will have all of my insallment loans paid off except for my mortgage. I have 2 credit cards that will be in good standing, low balances and all that. I want to build my credit to get the best rate I can to build a house in about 2 years. Am I going to need another installment loan on my credit report to have a good enough score? Or will the mortgage and credit cards suffice?

Best answer:

Answer by TheOnlyBeldin
Unless you have instances of defaulting or non-payment in your past, with the situation you describe, your credit should be good enough. Check your credit report for any errors.

Will the bank give you a small loan/check if a place doesn’t accept credit cards?

Question by Kid ‘Ney: Will the bank give you a small loan/check if a place doesn’t accept credit cards?
I want to pay for my apartment but the place I’m applying at won’t accept my credit card. Can I go to the bank for a small loan/check in order to make my payment? Also will the bank accept my credit card for payment?

Best answer:

Answer by funwithdouger

Get an advance on your credit card. you can do this at the bank or a bank machine. Then put that money in your bank account and write the check.
The bank would have a fee for writing up the loan and it’s a big haste. It’s much easier to raise the limit on your credit card.
Now write several credit card companies and ask for a lower interest rate. To get your business from another bank they will offer you a lower interest rate and do a balance transfer from the other credit card. They may even throw in a rate increase. Be carefull and don’t fall into to much credit card dept.

Can you get a personal loan while in chexsystem?

Question by David: Can you get a personal loan while in chexsystem?
Six months ago I co signed a auto loan for my brother at a credit union with no problem. If I go back to the same credit union will they let me take a personal loan by myself. I have been in chexsystem for 4 years now and have since paid all my bills. I have a credit score of 771 and a employment history of 5 years and make 40-$ 50000 a year.

Best answer:

Answer by someone
Yes you may qualify at this point especially if you no longer owe a bank money
What might be the problem is that loan you co signed. The lender considers that amount owed as belonging to you and thus you no longer have enough income to repay 2 loans.

Can you go to jail in texas for not paying a payday loan?

Question by James G: Can you go to jail in texas for not paying a payday loan?
I cant pay these loans back and I have post dated checks with the payday loan companies. Im afraid they could prosecute me for the bad post dated checks. What is going to be the best way to handle this situation?

Best answer:

Answer by Gatsby216
Immediately send them a letter via certified mail, keep a copy for you yourself.
State that those post dated checks should not be cashed and you would like them returned to you.
You could put stop payments on those checks, or close the account. Again you could put that in your letter.
I am not sure how that works, as this is more a loan, rather than the normal bad check problem.
But it is a good question, and you need to protect yourself.

Is buying furniture on credit the same as having a credit car?

Question by Rosalia: Is buying furniture on credit the same as having a credit car?
My mom is being sued by collections for furniture she bought and has already paid for. There suing her for late fees on a credit card but shes never owned a credit card. She bought couches on credit. I’m filling out her complaint against the plaintiff and I am confused when it comes to that. Do I deny it since it was not an actual credit card or does it mean the same thing as buying furniture on credit?

Thank you in advance!

Best answer:

Answer by anywhoo

Basically with interrogatories you would admit to something that you are 100% certain is true, your name and address etc, and deny the things that you are not 100% certain is true, the amount they are claiming, when the account was opened, account numbers, “credit card” when no card was issued, etc.

There are other things to watch out for in a suit. If they have no proof other than an Affidavit of Debt then you should file a motion to strike the affidavit. Also you need to check the statute of limitations (SOL) for your state, if the account is past SOL then an Affirmative Defense of SOL should be included in with the answer to the summons complaint.

You should also Google and read your states Rules of Civil Procedures (RCP).

You might go to the free site that I’ve listed in the source box and for anything that you’re having trouble with, ask about it the Credit Forum. The site is totally free to join (so you can post your question), to read anything on it, to ask any questions you may have and to use anything that you find on it.

What are the downfalls to a cash advance on a credit card?

Question by Tom W: What are the downfalls to a cash advance on a credit card?
I need a 3000 dollar loan for a car, but my mom says, to avoid full coverage insurance, we get these cash advance credit card things in the mail all the time where you can take 3000 out of the credit card then pay it of, but i dont know if my mom know hat shes talking about, because I dont want to be paying this off for the next 10 years

Best answer:

Answer by Michelle

1, Cash advances on a credit card come with high interest rates, meaning that in the longrun your car will be more expensive.

#2, IF something happens to your $ 3,000 car (broken, wrecked, etc…), you still have to repay your loan. – If you had full coverage with the option that your insurance company would pay off your car, then you wouldn’t have to worry about what happens if your car gets smashed a week after you get it.

Then again, $ 3,000 is pretty cheap for a car. So the risk might be worth it to you. … I would also look into the option of getting a “personal” loan from a bank. If you qualify, the money would be yours to spend on whatever you want. But they would not be able to force you to buy more insurance coverage than you want.
