The day may come when you have use for a personal loan with a term shorter than a few months. For example, you might find yourself in early April faced with a big tax burden and no liquid funds on hand to pay the government. You had no your business's sales were going to be so stellar, and now you're up against the bitter sweet situation of earning a lot of money and consequently owing a lot of it to the government.
You face one big challenge: in spite of the fact that you put in reserve the necessary funds for the government's bill, your tax account no longer has any money in it due to the fact that you and some associates took an unplanned vacation to Las Vegas. If only the government had sympathy toward your spontaneous lifestyle, you wouldn't have any stress right now. Unfortunately, they don't, and now you're going to have to get someone to lend you enough money to pay your taxes - or you'll be paying the penalty.
And here you are without the cash, and that's not all. You also don't have the good credit a person might use to borrow the cash you need to pay your taxes. It turns out having your brand new Chevy Truck taken back by the bank when you couldn't make your payments ruined your credit. If you had good credit any number of banks or credit card companies would give you the money to pay the government right now, but no such luck.
You have yourself in a serious quandary - how are you going to get the government's money to them when you have no cash and really bad credit? There is an answer, although it's not ideal. Certain types of lenders will give you a signature loan for people with really bad credit.
First you should understand what a signature loan is, although it's fairly self explanatory. You walk in, fill out a couple forms, sign your name (hence, signature loan) and walk out with the cash you need. It's that simple, but it may not be that easy unless you can fulfill a couple of the prerequisites.
The first requirement your prospective lender will be looking for is a steady income. They won't mind your terrible credit as much if you can show them your earnings will easily cover the repayment of their funds. There are a number of ways to verify your income, including canceled paychecks, check stubs, or last year's tax forms.
And what about collateral? Collateral is defined as some valuable article the lender could sell on the open market if the borrower decided not to fulfill the obligations of the loan. It's a classic risk-minimizing tool for banks who want to be able to recover all or part of their lost money when they loan to flaky people. Be careful - if you use something you actually care about for collateral, you run the serious risk of losing your valued item.
If you can convince the bank you're not a major loan risk, you'll end up getting the loan and surviving the day. Next time you should probably be more prudent about the use of your emergency cash reserves and your tax planning. Don't let your financial situation become a vicious cycle!
