Answering Common Questions About Unsecured Loans

Choose wisely and carefully before you sign on the line


These days, it is not uncommon for a person to be in need of extra money, particularly in this economy. There seems to be no end to the economic problems we’re all facing, and many consumers are struggling to make ends meet month after month.

But what do you do if you are struggling and you have an emergency, along with depleted savings? Add to that bad credit due to economic struggles, and you’ve got yourself a very difficult situation.

It’s not hopeless, however. You can get an unsecured loan, despite your credit standing. Although unsecured loans are becoming more common, many people still don’t fully understand them and have questions about them. Here are some of the common questions and the answers.

Are unsecured loans difficult to acquire? If you have a good credit score, an unsecured loan is easy enough to obtain. A person with bad credit can still qualify for an unsecured loan, however it will be a bit trickier. A person with bad credit will also likely have to pay a higher interest rate, and will face very strict repayment terms.

How can you use an unsecured loan? You can use an unsecured loan in any way you like. You can use it for anything from consolidating your debt to taking a vacation to having your car repainted.

What are the repayment terms? Of course, this will vary, depending on the lender. Loans with longer terms will most certainly have lower monthly payments, but you can be sure you’ll wind up paying more for the loan because of the higher interest rate. If you are already financially stressed, it may be prudent to obtain an unsecured loan with a shorter term.

How do you go about getting an unsecured personal loan? This is perhaps the most commonly asked question. You can be sure there are hundreds of lenders offering unsecured loans, and they all have their own rates and terms. So how do you know which one is right for you?

The best place to begin is to simply shop around and compare the rates, fees, terms and conditions. Don’t limit yourself to only a couple of lenders - be sure to check out several, bearing in mind your own needs, including how much you can afford to borrow and repay.

Once you have narrowed your search down to maybe two or three lenders, carefully read the fine print, and compare the offered rates. Choose the best deal for you with the shortest term.
