BAD CREDIT HELP – Instant bad credit loan

Question by Kim H: I have bad credit and am desperate to find an apartment in Mass?
I am currently going through a divorce and one of the main reasons I am divorcing my soon to be ex is that he has ruined me financially. My house is foreclosing and I need to find an apartment between Dighton, Ma and Bridgewater, Ma. Here’s my problem. My credit since I have been married is terrible. I am very dependable and have been at the same job for almost 8 years. I can provide personal and professional references and pay a few months rent in advance if need be. What can I do? People with bad credit have to live somewhere, right? Help.. I don’t want to end up homeless. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Question by JayRust: How can I get a credit card with rewards when I have bad credit?
Hi. My wife and I both have terrible credit, and are looking for a credit card with rewards such as cash back or sky miles. We use our visa cards that are tied into our checking accounts so much that it is a waste to not get rewards, but it is hard to get rewards with bad credit. Any advise?

Question by MissJessica: How will paying for a car loan on a repo car affect my credit score?
My husband and I signed a ,000 loan on a truck. The payments were behind and the car was in a wreck. The truck was repossessed and the loan company says we still owe 00. The loan company offered a settlement of 00 if we pay by the end of the month. Does this sound right to anyone?
How would it really affect my credit if I pay off the loan now?

Sounds like a great deal, and is not that uncommon. Paying off the outstanding balance on a repo can only help your credit.

HOWEVER, GET IT IN WRITING! Before you send that ,800 payment, make them put it in writing that ,800 will settle the debt and they will report it as PAID IN FULL. If they don’t put it in writing for you, then after you pay ,800 they’ll say your balance is ,200! (5000-2800) Collection companies are snakes!

Good luck!

One 30 day late can reduce your score by 50 to 100 points

A credit score is a number generated by a mathematical formula that is meant to predict credit worthiness. The most common of the credit score standards is the FICO score by Fair Isaac. The FICO score ranges from 350-850 and is intended as a predictor of whether or not you will be 90 days late on a loan obligation. Fair Isaac uses thousands of credit reports to calibrate the FICO scoring model and is very secretive of the exact formula.

Here is a percentage breakdown of a FICO score:

35% – Payment History
30% – Debt Ratio
15% – Length of Credit History
10% – Types of Credit
10% – Number of Credit Inquiries
Most people are aware of the three credit reporting agencies TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. The average difference in score between the highest and lowest of your three FICO scores is 60 points. This is the result of each of the credit bureaus having different items on their report. some correct, some incorrect and some that are not being reported in full compliance with credit law.

Your Credit History & Settlement Loans

When hearing the phrase “settlement loan” you might think it as a traditional loan. This is not the true. Most financial institutions do not lend money based on the merit of a pending lawsuit case. This is because financial institutions cannot absorb the risk behind it since they are funded by consumer monetary; especially with banks. This is why most people turn to settlement loan providers when in need of financial aid during a pending lawsuit.

One of the best things about settlement loans is you do not have to repay the loan back if you lose your case. For example, if you were loaned ,000 and your case ended in a loss and you still had ,000 left the money would be yours to keep. This risk is taken by all settlement loan providers. This is why they do research into your pending lawsuit before loaning any money.

You won’t get a negative mark on your credit score if you lose your case. In fact, nothing based on credit history is involved with settlement loan application process. Regardless of your credit history you are still eligible for a settlement loan. However, in instances where a client has filed for bankruptcy there might be an issue, you should consult your attorney if this is the case.

There is nothing wrong with getting a settlement loan during your pending lawsuit. In fact, it is sometimes suggested by your attorney. Due to the hardship clients might face financially during a lawsuit sometimes people will settle for a less amount than the case is worth. With a settlement loan a client can take care of financial needs while the case goes the full course.
