Bad Credit Loans
If you have a less than perfect credit score, a bad credit loan might be the option for you. With these types of loans, people with a low or non-existent credit score can get the cash they need, especially when traditional banks have turned them down.
Bad credit is a broad term that can mean several things. If you have “bad credit”, you could have been bankrupt in the past, be presently bankrupt, or have defaulted on previous loan repayment. If you’re more than 60 days late on a loan instalment, this is considered a “default” and can be considered “bad credit.”
Just because you have a past and have had financial problems before, it doesn’t mean that you have to be punished. With a bad credit loan, you can get the cash you need to get back on your feet or pay for unexpected expenses without having to wait for weeks or go through piles of prying paperwork and questions. Bad credit loans may require collateral or a co-signatory, but those that don’t typically come with a higher interest rate attached. Bad credit loans are sometimes used to rebuild a good credit rating.
No Credit Check Loans
A no credit check loan is exactly that- a loan that requires no credit check for approval. This loan is designed for people with poor credit scores – the only downside is that they come with a high interest rate. These are typically small loans acting as bridging finance of between $150 and $2,000, but some can go as high as $10,000. They are paid back over a fixed period with a fixed interest rate attached.
For individuals with a poor credit score living paycheck to paycheck, this is a viable option to get some bridging cash when you need it most. No credit check loans are quick and easy to apply for, and borrowers usually receive the cash they need on the same day.
Centrelink loans are short term personal loans specifically designed for people earning some or most of their monthly income from Centrelink benefits. These loans are also often called pensioner loans, disability income loans, carer loans, and jobseeker loans.
Many lenders don’t offer personal loans to individuals who derive the majority of their income from Centrelink. With a dedicated Centrelink loan, it doesn’t matter if you live entirely off Centrelink payments or only rely on it for a portion of your income; you’re eligible for a short term loan as long as you meet the lender’s requirements. Most Centrelink loans are small to ensure that they are affordable and come with terms of 2-6 months.
Loans for Unemployed
If you’re unemployed and need cash in a hurry, you may think that you’re out of options, but you’re not. Lenders will still consider unemployed individuals for personal loans and short term loans if they have some other form of income. Perhaps you earn revenue from a property, investment, or Centrelink – proving that you have money coming in every month will increase your chances of getting an unemployed loan.
If you’re unemployed but have a good credit score, you are more likely to be approved for an unemployed loan. Because unemployed loans come with increased risk to the lender, the loan amounts and repayment terms are usually small and short, respectively. Most unemployed loans range from $150 to $2,000.
Self Employed Loans
Self-employed individuals often have a hard time getting personal loans when they need them most. This is because the lender may view a self-employed person as a higher risk, and often it’s hard to prove a steady flow of income.
