Loans - Doorstep Loans
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Liam Gerken asked:
A recent report has revealed that doorstep lenders are homing in on the UKs most financially deprived areas in an attempt to win customers who are being declined credit elsewhere.
Doorstep lending has been around since the early nineties, and although business died down for some time; as high street banks began to cater for bad credit customers the credit crunch has left the majority of these customers in a state of desperation.
As the name suggests, doorstep lending involves lending firms going direct to consumer’s doors where they often offer small cash sums, over short periods of time. The loan is then repaid on a weekly basis to a local agent who calls at the borrower’s home.
This considerable pressure, coupled with the vastly inflated interest rates has resulted in doorstep lending practices being heavily criticized by consumer groups over the years. Doorstep lenders defend their high interest rates, which can be as steep as 60% for a

Abbi Rouse asked:
Those people looking to apply for a loan need to take steps to make sure that their credit report reflects them in the best light possible, it has been suggested.
Speaking earlier this week, Neil Munroe, external affairs director for Equifax, reported that as numerous high street lenders and credit card companies are lowering their borrowing limits, applicants more than ever need to look into managing their financial history “pro-actively”. In addition, the credit information provider asserted that consumers are seeing some providers increase interest rates on personal loans and other types of borrowing, which in turn may limit access to cheap loans.
As a result, those people looking to take out a loan have been urged to get a copy of their financial history before making an application as doing so can help them secure a more competitive rate of interest on their borrowing. The Equifax official pointed out that when making a decision on whether to issue money to consumers, loan lenders make checks with credit reference agencies to judge applicants’ previous ability to keep up to date with borrowing repayments. Additionally, he asserted that providers also make use of a “credit scoring” system, which helps them to decide whether or not to lend and what level of interest to attach to loans. Thus, Mr Munroe stated that those with the most attractive credit score will find they have the most borrowing options available and will be able to secure the cheapest loans possible.
He said: “Whilst we don’t want to encourage people who are already struggling with debt to take on more loans, there is a good proportion of individuals who are creditworthy who might be refused for example simply because their electoral roll information on their credit file is not up to date. The problem is that any information that does not match the application could mean a refusal. And lower scores could mean that individuals are not offered the best rate of interest on a loan or credit card.”
The director added that it is for these reasons that it is important that consumers “regularly” get copies of their financial history and credit rating. Mr Munroe also asserted that “this is certainly worth doing if they are planning to take out a new loan or credit agreement”.
In addition, he pointed out that a low credit score could be caused by something “as simple as not being registered to vote”. However, Mr Munroe claimed that it is “pretty easy” in instances like this to get such information updated.
As a result, those looking to make their financial report look as attractive as possible were advised to make more than the minimum repayments as much as possible on existing borrowing. By doing so it was suggested that not only will borrowers benefit as they give their file a more positive appearance from paying back debts quickly, they will also be shelling out less money in interest each month.
In addition, should a change in consumers’ circumstances cause them to fall behind with making borrowing repayments, for instance if they have lost their job or got divorced, Equifax advised them to make lenders aware of this. Consequently, lenders were suggested to be likely to take such alterations into account when judging an application for a loan.
And after receiving such a loan, borrowers may be well advised to consider their spending carefully. Earlier this year, Helen Saxon, spokesperson from the Finance and Leasing Association, reported that if used wisely credit can be “a good thing”. However, she asserted that although personal loans and other types of borrowing can help many people purchase items “that otherwise they couldn’t afford or that they would have to save up for a long time for”, consumers - and lenders alike - must ensure that they will be able to afford to make repayments.

Emergency Cash Loans For Rent With No Faxing Required - How to Get $500 Up to $1000 in 24 Hours
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Marcia Bartlett asked:
If you find yourself in an emergency situation and need to pay your rent in 24 hours to 48 hours, in order to avoid further negative action from your landlord, an emergency cash loan is a fast and convenient way to get the cash you need. Emergency cash loans are offered to consumers (in states, where cash advance services are accepted and legal), to those who need cash on the same day or the next business day in order to meet financial obligations such as paying rent, making car payments, groceries, children’s needs, etc.
My rent is late and I’m facing eviction from my landlord. What should I do?
The best thing you can do when facing negative action from your landlord, due to late rent is to take corrective action - immediately. The worse thing you can do is, nothing.
Contact family members or friends to get a temporary loan, if possible. If you don’t have these resources available to you, apply for a short term personal loan that is guaranteed in 24 to 48 hours, with minimal qualification requirements.
What is the best way to get my cash fast?
The most effective way to get the cash you need fast is to make it easy for your loan representative to review your loan application. The information you provide must be truthful and precise. Ensure that your employment history is accurate and that you have worked for at least a minimum of three months.
How much money do I have to earn to qualify?
Most lenders require applicants to make at least $1000 per month after taxes and other deductions. The higher the amount you wish to borrow, the higher your monthly income must be.

Auto Loans and Auto Refinance Loans After Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Sharon Listner asked:
It’s no secret that bankruptcy takes a toll on your credit score. Your credit score also known as your FICO score is a number between 300 to 850. A 300 FICO score is the lowest FICO score that you can have. The higher your FICO credit score, the better.
A person with a credit score above 670, is considered to have a good credit score and can therefore apply for car loans, mortgage loans, personal loans, debt consolidation loans, etc, with no problems. In addition, people with good credit scores get better interest rates on loans than people with problem credit.
If you recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may be worried about your ability to obtain financing for a new/used car or refinance an existing auto loan.
The fact is owning a vehicle is essential for most Americans. Whether you live in New York city or the suburbs of Houston, Texas, having your own car, means getting to places on time - especially work. You can rely on buses and trains to get you to your destination but everyone knows that you are the whim of public transportation, which can be unpredictable.
If you have a low credit score below 600 or slightly above, the best way to find a new/used auto loan or auto refinance loan, is to do your research. Simply put, take advantage of internet resources. Why waste time calling multiple auto lenders that are listed in your local phone book, when you can apply for an online auto loan and get a response in a few days or 24 hours.

16.4% APR $5,000 Auto Loan.HELP!
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Tom Levine asked:
Are you the victim of a high interest rate auto loan? If so, the following email discussion may help you. Read on:
DEAR LoanResources.Net:
I was very impressed with your article entitled “8 Point Checklist, Evaluating Online Lenders [http://www.loanresources.org/articles.htm].”
I have tried several sources to refinance my auto. I only have 2 more years to pay $245.04 a month. I owe 4,414.00 on the car loan.
This may not seem like a lot of money but I would like a lower interest rate on my car loan which is now $16.4% APR.
I want to still pay it off in 24 months but at a lower rate so that I can use the money saved to help pay off other bills.
In my internet searches, the auto refinance loans required that you borrow more money than I need. I tried to search for unsecured personal loans on your website and they also required that I borrow more money.
I have a very good credit record and I am working to get some of my bills paid off.
Is there anything you can suggest so that I can get a lower rate auto loan for under $5,000? Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks. Geraldine W.
DEAR Geraldine:
Sorry I have not gotten back to you sooner. I took a couple weeks off to be with family…Thanks for the compliment on the article!
Anyway, I read your email and I do indeed have a suggestion or two that I’m happy to share.
A COUPLE THINGS INITIALLY:
1. First, you’re paying a very high interest rate at 16.4% APR for an auto loan! I’m going to assume that your statement as to your good credit is accurate. If that’s true, then you do indeed need to fix this.
2. Since you only need $5000, with the intention of paying it off in 2 years or less, I don’t think you should look for a refinance auto loan or a refinance on your home. Indeed, the bank is going to want to loan you much more money, usually at least $25,000. While a refinance or equity loan on your home does offer tax benefits, we’re only talking about interest on $5,000 over the course of 2 years. I have another idea you may not have considered.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED?
Have you considered just putting the balance of your car loan on a credit card that has a lower interest rate?
1. Credit Cards are, indeed, unsecured lines of credit with financial institutions.
2. They are the perfect financial vehicle for a $5,000 transfer of debt, with added flexibility, and you should be able to find an interest rate between 9 to 11%, and better, on average.
3. IN ADDITION! Once approved, the bank will usually give you blank checks for balance transfers (sometimes they’ll just do it for you right over the phone)…,
4. AND GUESS WHAT? The majority of the time, the incentive interest rates on the balance transfers are EXTREMELY low; sometimes zero percent for up to 6 months to a year.
5. IN ADDITION! you can apply for incentive cards that provide rewards for your spending….free airline miles, cash back programs, etc. I use the American Express Blue, and I get cash back of up to 3% on everything I spend. So, for $5,000, 3% cash back, AMEX(TM) pays me $150.
How do you like them apples? The bank pays YOU to borrow money.
RECOMMENDED PLAN OF ACTION:
So, Geraldine, here’s what I recommend you do:
1. Go back to our website, and explore the credit card offers we’ve recommended [http://www.loanresources.org/credit-cards-with-rewards-1.htm]. We’ve picked out what we think are the best offers, and there are a LOT of them, so think of it as a much needed shopping trip! Pay particular attention to our links for “incentive cards”. We have two pages of them.
2. Apply for whatever card or cards suit your tastes and needs. There are so many great reward cards. Limit yourself to only your imagination.
3. Get approved, receive card, and receive balance transfer checks.
4. Pay off loan to 16.4% bank!
5. Pay off credit card loan (with extremely low rate and incentives), at your leisure!
…And enjoy the fact that you just made an excellent financial move, saved money, made money, and gave yourself the flexibility to manage your debt on your own schedule…
Hope this helps…Let me know how it all works out.
We’ve enjoyed providing this information to you, and we wish you the best of luck in your pursuits. Remember to always seek out good advice from those you trust, and never turn your back on your own common sense.

Consumer Debt Consolidation Loans
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Zach Ford asked:
Consumer debt consolidation loans are becoming increasingly common in the United States as a way for Americans to escape nationally rising debt levels. With the average American holding 5 credit cards on top of other debts and bills, it’s no surprise so many are turning to professional help to get out of their bad financial situations.
What is Consumer Consolidation and How Does It Work?
So what exactly is consumer debt consolidation and how does it work? When you receive a consumer consolidation loan, all of your high interest bills will be transfered into one low interest loan, with one lower monthly payment. By consolidating all of those high interest bills, you will be paying less interest every month, and therefore, you will have more money to begin paying off the actual debt, not just the rising interest. These loans are also beneficial because they simplify your finances. Instead of having several varying bills every month, you will only have to worry about one simple bill every month. This results in much easier financial planning which will greatly reduce your end-of-the-month stresses.
Start by Comparing Free Online Quotes
Getting started with consumer debt consolidation can be a little overwhelming. There are literally hundreds of lenders out there, and they are all claiming to have the best rates and terms. However, as you can probably guess, a lot of them don’t have the best of intentions. What you need to look for is a company with a proven track record for helping clients get out of debt.
So how do I decide on a lender? Good question. The first thing you should do is request some free quotes from a few lenders, just to see exactly how much you will be able to save with a debt consolidation loan. If you decide that debt consolidation is right for you, which it probably is, you should go ahead and request a few more quotes from other lenders. The more quotes you get, the more confident you can be that you are getting the best possible loan.

A debt consolidation loan can come in very handy for many consumers but these loans should be examined carefully before signing up for any. Like all financial instruments, this type of loan will have its benefits and its drawbacks. Let’s look at a few of the more important issues concerning debt consolidation loans.
A debt consolidation loan is the replacement of multiple loans with a single loan. One of the benefits of a debt loan is that the borrower will often see a lower monthly payment and a longer repayment period. Here is a very simple example of how a consolidation loan might work out:
Let us assume that you have three outstanding loans. The monthly payments are: $75 for one loan, $100 for the second loan, and $125 for the third loan. On a monthly basis you are paying a total of $300 to cover all of the bills.
Using a consolidation loan the new lender would assume those bills for you and then invoice you one single bill per month. In this case, the one monthly payment might be $200, which saves you $100 per month. Keep in mind that as you pay less per month you may also have to pay longer. In other words, it may take quite a bit longer to pay off the full amount than it would if you were to continue paying the three payments separately.
When it comes to debt consolidation loans, consumers have many options and even some special options. Under the special options there are programs for consolidating student loans. With the cost of higher education becoming more expensive the vast majority of students require some type of financial aid. Student loans play a big part of that financing. As costs rise, however, most students and their families find that they need more than one student loan in order to pay the bills. When these separate loans are added up on a monthly basis they can become very expensive. Thankfully, there are many debt consolidation loan programs available for paying off student loans.
Consolidating credit card debt is another popular reason for using this type of loan. Many consumers are finding themselves in trouble with credit card bills that come into the home month after month. By using a consolidation loan, many credit card holders can reduce the amount of real cash that has to be sent out each month. For some individuals and families this is a very important benefit.
Debt consolidation loans have some drawbacks as well. They can be seen by some lenders as a warning sign that a prospective borrower is in trouble. Another drawback is that some debt consolidation lenders will ask that you put up collateral before they grant the loan. Not all lenders will ask this of you, but some may. A lot of whether or not collateral will be needed will depend on the amount of the outstanding loans as well as your own credit history.
Consumers can find a lot of solid information about the various debt consolidation loan programs available by doing some research on the Internet. Be sure to read the fine print before signing up for any program.

Andy Hygate asked:
As reported by the Office for National Statistics, UK consumer inflation just reached its highest level in more than a year, driven by high food and fuel costs. One of the strongest measures of the cost of living, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) shot up more than it has since 2001.
At the same time the Retail Prices Index - which shows movement in prices for average consumers at the retail level - also moved substantially higher.
While the data confirmed official fears of rampant inflation, it came as no surprise to ordinary consumers across the UK. They have been stung by rising prices for several months, and to most people in the UK the latest government figures only validate a struggle they contend with on a daily basis. Unfortunately the situation is only expected to grow worse over the coming months, with no significant relief in sight.
One place they may still be able to turn for help, however, is the so-called “bad credit” loan market. Those who offer these special loans design them specifically to serve the needs of UK consumers who have poor credit, not good credit. Bad credit loans can provide emergency funds or they can be used on a longer-term basis for mortgages, car purchases, home improvement, or other necessary expenditures.
While bad credit loans have been around for decades, they are gaining wide popularity of late because they are especially helpful during difficult times of recession or consumer inflation. Today Brits seem to be facing not one, but both of these challenging economic forces at the same time.
The CPI measured a dozen different categories of items and found that seven of those had experienced price increases. Everything from tobacco to petrol to electricity and gas has gotten more expensive for consumers, and with manufacturing output slowing down that will only shrink supplies, increase demand, and push prices higher still.
The outlook for UK inflation has “deteriorated markedly”, the Bank of England governor Mervyn King has said. King said it will take time to rebuild a sense of confidence in the banking system and during that period credit conditions will be more difficult than normal. He added that house prices were set to fall even more in 2008. The Council of Mortgage Lenders agrees. That organization predicted that house prices continue a precipitous fall through the end of the year, and will possibly reach the lowest levels in nearly 40 years.
As a result, banks are adopting what they call a “more sensible and prudent approach to lending and borrowing,” and that translates into greater scrutiny of personal credit histories and income levels. Loan approvals have dropped 40 percent since last year, reports The Guardian, as banks tighten their purse strings and reject consumer loan applications that do not meet the most stringent standards.
Meanwhile companies who offer loans for bad credit are seeing a resurgence of business activity, as customers with blemished credit take advantage of more lenient and considerate policies when they go to apply for their loans.

How to Secure an Emergency Cash Loan in 1 Hour with Bad Credit
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Sharon Listner asked:
There is nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation, where you need cash but have no idea how to secure the funds discretely. Sure, you can borrow from family and friends but that requires disclosing matters that you may want to keep personal. Often times, you get hit with the dreaded questions “Why do you need the money?”, “Don’t you have any savings for a rainy day?”,
“How soon can you pay the money back”, etc. The list goes on. You walk away feeling diminished
and anxious. Worse of all - this exercise may be a waste of time because you may
still not get the money you need after suffering through the inquisition.
Imagine needing the emergency cash in 1 hour and having bad credit. Anyone struggling with bad credit can attest to the difficulties of securing any type of loan even for $100 with bad credit.
If you find yourself in this situation, a fast online no fax payday loan may be your only saving
grace. No fax payday loans are also referred to as faxless payday loans. Some payday loan lenders
can send you lend you up to $3,000 in as fast as 1 hour. Others can get you the cash in 24 hours.
The loan qualification criteria tends to be fairly simple. You must have held a job for the past 90 days, make at least $1000 cash per month and have a checking account. There are no credit checks so you can still get cash, even if you have bad credit. Your loan is processed online discreetly and you get your cash fast.
