Jackson Bad Credit Loan Example

Andrew was certainly in a pickle. His personal finances had gone to seed in the last three years. He had gone through a divorce and dealt with some serious health problems.

All of this added up (or should I say down), and he found himself in a situation where he had far too much debt.

He had no realistic way of servicing all of his debt either. He had alimony and child support payments to contend with as well as some hospital stay bills that were long overdue.

Andrew was now in a situation whereby he couldn't even go see his beloved Mississippi Braves. He couldn't afford to even go out to the park for a home game, let alone see them on the road like he used to.

So he had to find a solution. He naturally looked into getting a loan so he could consolidate all of his debts and pay off all his creditors at the same time.

He did the math on what he was going to need, and we're showing those calculations below with the interest rate. Of course this is just the raw math and doesn't include services fees his lender charged him for the term of the note.

Loan Amount = $70,000
Interest Rate = 7.39%
Term Length = 5
Monthly Payment = $1399
Total Paid Back = $83,940.02
Total Interest = $13,940.02

You can see now that with the interest rate he got at 7.39% it was a fairly reasonable transaction. He was approved for this loan using the WFL lender pool service because his credit score wasn't ideal. His Equifax score was 689, his Transunion score was 695, and his Experian credit score was 705 at the time of his approval.

Not the worst credit score, so he would likely have been labeled by lenders as an "average risk consumer".

In Andrew's case he wasn't a risk at all. He made all of his payments on time and was right on top of it. He was thankful to find a private lender that took into consideration his past credit score before his health issues and his divorce.

It was clear to this lender that he wasn't likely to default on his payments. After all he had a steady job for over 20 years with the same Birmingham construction company!

This is why major banks sometimes drop the ball. People shouldn't be judged as "high risk" when you can clearly see it's not in the borrower's nature to purposely default on their obligations.

People shouldn't be consider high risk just because of a number for crying out loud. Here at WFL we encourage lenders to consider MANY factors when making a decision on a borrower's request for a loan.

And we're making some headway. We now have 554 lenders in our bad credit lender pool, and we worked very hard to find these lenders. Some are private lenders, some are credit unions, and some are even conventional financial institutions who are beginning to see the light.

The vast majority of people with bad credit scores don't want to be there. They want a fresh start, and work hard to make sure their payments are being made in full and on time.

So this was a good outcome for Andrew. He got rate much lower than his prior credit cards and personal loans. He ended up getting rid of his credit card stash and settled on just two credit cards (his Citibank card and his Credit Union Visa card).

If you're living in Jackson like Andrew, and need a loan regardless of your credit rating, we may be able to help you find a willing lender.

Sincerely,

Chris Somerset
