The day may come when you have use for a personal loan with a term shorter than a few months. For example, you might find yourself in early April faced with a big tax burden and no liquid funds on hand to pay the government. You had no your business's sales were going to be so stellar, and now you're up against the bitter sweet situation of earning a lot of money and consequently owing a lot of it to the government.
So you owe the government some money, and you have one big problem - you spent all your cash reserves (which were supposed to take the fear out of tax day) on a trip to everyone's favorite gambling town in Nevada. You're wishing the government were in favor of such trips, so they'd give you a break on your bill, but no such luck. Yeah, right - it's either pay the bill or pay the interest and penalties.
You have another obstacle between you and your on-time payment to the government - you have terrible credit. See, that all goes back to the time you bought a brand new Dodge truck because the dealer made you an offer you couldn't refuse, so you financed the whole thing in spite of the fact that there was no way your meager income would cover the payments. You were soon several months behind, and before you knew it the repo man was taking your shiny rig away to be sold at auction.
So here you are, taxes due, no cash on hand, with a tax bill looming. There is hope, if you know where to look. There are signature loans for people with bad credit. You can qualify, but you have to know what you're doing.
First you should understand what a signature loan is, although it's fairly self explanatory. You walk in, fill out a couple forms, sign your name (hence, signature loan) and walk out with the cash you need. It's that simple, but it may not be that easy unless you can fulfill a couple of the prerequisites.
The first requirement your prospective lender will be looking for is a steady income. They won't mind your terrible credit as much if you can show them your earnings will easily cover the repayment of their funds. There are a number of ways to verify your income, including canceled paychecks, check stubs, or last year's tax forms.
Another prerequisite to loan approval may be your demonstration to the bank that you can provide them with some valuable, sellable collateral to secure the loan. Nothing could make the bank feel more secure than knowing they can sell your car or your jewelry if you decide not to make payments. Of course the best advice is not to give something you'll actually miss if the lender ends up selling it.
If you can convince the bank you're not a major loan risk, you'll end up getting the loan and surviving the day. Next time you should probably be more prudent about the use of your emergency cash reserves and your tax planning. Don't let your financial situation become a vicious cycle! - 15485
