If you need money ASAP but worry your credit score might be too low to qualify for a loan, rest assured: you aren't alone.
Millions of Americans suffer from bad credit, but they still have certain opportunities available for them to get the money they need, when they need it. Lenders like Atlas Credit provide bad credit loans you can apply for online or in person, and pay off at your leisure.
But don't jump headlong into the personal loan process without keeping these 3 things in mind:
You should only borrow exactly what you need.
When you search for personal loans online that accept borrowers with bad credit, make sure you understand your needs first.
What do you need the money for? Is it for a health emergency, paying off an ugly utility bill, making repairs on your home or car, or to fund a family vacation?
Make sure you really need the extra money from a personal loan before you apply. And be sure you can reasonably pay off whatever dollar amount you qualify for. Atlas Credit offers 5 to 12 month repayment plans to make paying your personal loan off comfortable and affordable.
Be sure the loan is appropriate for your needs.
Many people who need money fast but know they'll be turned down by a bank rush into the loan application process without realizing how many different kinds of lenders there are.
That's why many people find themselves with a payday loan -- something they have to turn around and repay in full on their next paycheck. Oftentimes, they can't pay it all back, and their credit looks even worse afterward!
Atlas Credit is not a payday loan company. We offer personal loans to borrowers with bad credit that fall under appropriate regulatory standards for loans.
Know your lender is legitimate.
Be on the lookout for any red flags about the lender you consider. For instance, if you apply for the loan online, be absolutely certain they're a real company!
There are lots of ways you can get into financial hot water on the Internet, so making sure the lender has real brick and mortar locations as well is a safe way to determine if they're the real deal.
Also, your lender should be just as skeptical about your ability to pay the loan back. If they seem happy to pile money onto you without asking about your bad credit score or how you'll afford repayment, you might want to think twice.
Atlas Credit has dozens of locations throughout the state of Texas, from the Mexican border all the way up to Longview, Tyler, and the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. We're as legitimate as they come, and we'll always work carefully with you to determine the best possible repayment plan for your specific financial situation.
