Charleston Bad Credit Consolidation

John and his wife own a beautiful home. They have live in this home for many years, but recently they have noticed that they are losing some of their back yard due to erosion.

The recent rains in the area caused major mudslides near by, however in John's area they just experienced some erosion. He is concerned that if he does not do something soon, he might lose the back yard and even his home.

He arranged for a soil engineer to evaluate the situation and make suggestions regarding what he can do to protect his home.

After testing and evaluation, the engineer has suggested a retaining wall that would be anchored into the hill side to prevent further erosion.

He is getting a second opinion; however, he is convinced that he must do something soon or risk losing his home. He is not sure if his home owner's insurance would cover him in this kind of situation.

The second opinion is due any day, however John wanted to find out if he can be approved for a loan that would help him pay for the retaining wall and consolidate some of his credit card debt at the same time.

He thinks that he will need around $80k, however he may have to adjust this number depending on the final report and their estimate of what needs to be done to protect his home.

A $80000 loan with an fifteen-year term and 4.549% interest rate for John would cost him the following per month:

Loan Amount (principal) = $80000
Interest Rate = 4.549%
Term Length = 15 year
Monthly Payment = $614.00
Total Paid Back = $110519.99
Total Interest = $30519.99

John is in a very difficult situation. He needs to install some sort of retaining wall to support his home and back yard. He does have equity in the home that could be used as security, however because of the problems he is experiencing with erosion, finding a lender will be very difficult.

His credit rating is sufficient to support approval for a loan and he has sufficient income to support the loan as applied for. This loan will likely need to be a personal loan, non-secured, since there is so much reluctance on behalf of the lenders to use the home as security.

John really did not anticipate having an erosion problem not a problem finding a lender. He was expecting to use his home as security and is dismayed that he will not be able to.

He and his wife are actually thinking about selling the home at this point as soon as they get the engineers report and make a decision regarding what to do about installing some sort of retaining wall.

They really just do not want to deal with a problem like this one which could get significantly worse. They will have to fully disclose the problem and the solution regardless of what they do if they put the home up for sale.

They will be making some decisions in the next few days regarding their situation and the solutions available to them.

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

Sincerely,

Chris Somerset
