Loan Term Options
Keeping in mind that Bad Credit Loans is not a direct lender, the loan providers in the network usually offer short-term loans. The maximum loan term available is for 36 months, and generally reserved for borrowers with good to excellent credit. If you are looking for a loan and have less than stellar credit, you might be offered shorter terms—as low as 3 months.
Loan Purpose and Amounts
Bad Credit Loans falls slightly behind because it is focused on helping users with bad credit, therefore amounts offered by its lending network tend to be lower than more traditional lenders. Loan amounts range from $500 to $5,000 with representative APRs of between 5.99% to 35.99% on average. Keep in mind that as these amounts are set by the loan provider and not Bad Credit Loans, these figures are subject to change depending on your negotiations with your connecting lender. One of the good things about the company is that it places no restriction on how you can use your loan, or your motive for taking a loan.
Lending Qualification Process
When submitting a request for a loan with Bad Credit Loans, the company looks at more than your creditworthiness. Due to the fact that a credit score is not always an accurate indicator of your real financial health, the company focuses on a broader spectrum of information when approving your loan request and connecting you with a qualified lender. Besides normal qualification parameters, Bad Credit Loans looks at your employment information when deciding on the appropriate lender to connect. While we would like to see a more inclusive qualification process, Bad Credit Loans’ willingness to look past credit scores alone is a definite plus.
Information and Support
The information provided by Bad Credit Loans provides you with a great introduction to their process and personal loans in general. The company offers a very insightful and useful blog, which deals with topics related to debt, credit, and borrowing in general. Additionally, their website gives helpful information regarding the loan process. Bad Credit Loans could improve their FAQ section somewhat, but customer support representatives can easily be reached during work days between 6am and 7pm PT.
Quote Request Process
When requesting a loan with Bad Credit Loans, you should have the following information handy:
- Basic personal information
- Proof that you are legally over 18
- Proof of citizenship or legal residency
- Proof of regular income
- A checking account in your name
- Work and telephone numbers
- A valid email address
The quote loan request process takes very little time, although you will be required to navigate several pages of questions before you get connected with a lender. Regardless, the request process is very efficient and you will usually be connected in under 3 minutes with a loan option.
