Loan for Medical Bills in Austin TX

Charles had a bad car accident exactly one year before he applied for this loan. He had fallen asleep at the wheel while commuting between Austin and Dallas.

He had been commuting for 5 years at the time of the accident. In his pre-app he detailed some the of the horrific times he went through at the time of the accident and his recovery.

He had burns, broken bones, broken hip, head injuries, and a collapsed lung. In short, he was touch and go for awhile - doctor gave him a 50/50 chance of survival. He had all the emotional support you could ask for, but financial support wasn't there.

He did have car insurance, but there was a cap on how much the insurance company would allocate for medical expenses.

By the time he left the hospital, and the insurance company paid "their share" as per "how they interpreted their policy", Charles still owed an additional $55,000 dollars. An amount he didn't have in savings.

He did have $5000 in savings but he was still short the $50,000 to the hospital and ambulance service. At least the insurance company did pay for the helicopter airlift to the hospital.

Below is the calculation on his loan approval.

• Loan Amount (principal) = $50,000
• Interest Rate = 7.34%
• Term Length = 10 years
• Monthly Payment = $589.34
• Total Paid Back = $70721.02
• Total Interest = $20721.02

So yeah - payments were reasonable for sure at close to $600 per month. He was given a desk job at work instead of his old job doing fence installations. His employer was very supportive during the whole ordeal.

For Charles' example we don't have the lender information because he didn't agree to let us publish it. We can say that it was a private lender based in Texas. We can also say that he had 4 different lenders contact him.

Now, as far as credit score goes, Charles had an average score of 690 a the time of his application. That's an average taken from his scores reported by Experian, Transunion, and Equifax.

If his credit score was really bad, there is no way he would have been offered a rate that low. But at least he was approved and he got the creditors of the phone and off his back.

At one time he said he was getting 2-3 phone calls a day from the hospital (we are leaving nameless) in an effort to get his payment made. It was a horrible stress to deal with right after he was learning to live and new life with his injuries.

He said he walks with a cane now and will never be the same physically. A huge blow for Charles, as he was an avid basketball player. He still an avid fan of the Austin Spurs though!

If you live in Austin TX and you need a loan regardless of a bad credit rating we hope our website helps you in some way.
