Brooklyn, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany. Jason from Poughkeepsie had to get approved fast
for a $5000 dollar loan. He had bad credit due to his recent divorce,
and he was in a such a financial bind he couldn't even sleep at night.
His stress levels were so high he had to seek professional
help. He was only a week away from being evicted from his apartment
and he just couldn't get approved for a $5000 loan with any of the
banks or credit unions near him. He had to pull a rabbit out of his
hat soon or he was heading for the street. When he applied for a loan on one of our sites he
thought it was just a Hail Mary attempt at getting approved. Little
did he know that We Finder Lenders Inc. was the place he should have
started applying from outset. Just like so many borrowers we see on
our site(s), he made the mistake of applying online with any lender
he could find. From what we read in his Pre-App he likely applied
for a loan over a dozen times which had an immeadiate and devastating
affect on his FICO score. He was shocked to find his credit score has actually
dropped below 500. It's no surprise to anyone who understand consumer
finance, but unfortunately too many consumers in the United States
have never been educated on the subject. Regardless of how he ended
up in the throes of debtor hell, he had to deal with it lickiy split
or his next home was going to be a cardboard box on the street or
a homeless shelter in Poughkeepsie. Now, before I get carried away, Jason does have a
full time job working for travel agency. Only problem there was business
was way down for him. Before, during, and after his divorce he wasn't
able to focus on work. He was too preoccupied and stressed out to
focus. Furthermore, after he moved out he was on hook for child support.
Long story short, he was drowning in debt, and didn't even have enough
income to pay all his bills in full. After six months living on his
own (and walking through a fog of anxiety all day), he wasn't making
his minimum payments on his credit cards. For credit cards he had a Visa and a Citibank card.
Eventually this caught up with him and his credit score got pummelled.
He needed to get approved for this $5000 by the end of the week and
the APR on the loan had to be much less than what he was paying on
his credit cards. And while we're on the subject of his credit cards,
both of them were nearly at the maximum limit. Now interest was rolling
over and Jason felt like it wasn't going to be long before HE would
be rolling over. But then it happened. The morning after he applied for a loan using our
Pre-App he woke to three emails. Two emails were from a private lender,
and another from a credit union in the Bronx. He spoke with all of
them on the phone and weighed out all of his options. He took the
loan agreement with the lowest interest rate (14% in his case) and
finalized the private lender's documentation via email and phone.
I think in his case he used FaceTime to speak with one of the lenders,
which is happening more an more these days. He told us is closing review that the lender was
friendly and made him feel so much better after first speaking with
them that he slept better than he had slept in over two years. So for the sake of the math on Jason's bad credit
loan we can use our calculator (just below):

Bad
Credit Loan Form for New York State
New Yorker's Bad Credit Loan Example
-
Loan Amount (principal) = $5000
-
Interest Rate = 14%
-
Term Length = 1 year
-
Monthly Payment = $448.94
-
Total Paid Back = $5387.23
-
Total Interest = $387.23
As stated above the calculator these results are just a rough estimate, because Jason's lender would be charging fees on top of the basic interest. We have no way of knowing what his true APR ended up being. Regardless, he was relieved and happy to not to get evicted.
How Long Did It Take?
Not long in Jason's case. Actual funding to his account took 4 business days, so yeah, just under the wire. This was a good outcome, and his luck started to turn around after that in a big way. A few months later he met a new love of his life and she was also recently divorced. The difference in her case was that she was stinking rich. He ended up moving in with her a little further upstate in Albany.
His next step (with her persuasion and support) was to clean up his credit score and build up his trust level with his existing creditors. He got rid of all his credit cards accept for one pre-paid card, created a realistic budget, and worked out a deal with his ex-wife to look after the kids more in exchange for reducing his support payments. Once again, he was lucky on this one. Too often couples who get divorced just make things as miserable as possible for their ex-partner.
If you live in the State of New York and you're struggling with a bad credit rating we hope our website helps you in some way.

$50000 Consolidation Loan In New York
Bob and Brittni were a young couple at the ages of 24 and 25 at the time of their loan request. They had debt piled up so high they though they would never get out of the hole they were in.
It all started with student loans. They were married young and both went to college and successfully got their degrees. The problem was only Brittni managed to get a job with all of her training. She was working full time in Rochester where she grew up.
Bob wasn't so lucky in that he didn't find a job in his field of training (for security purposes they didn't want us to mention their specific fields). He tried finding some basic work that was at least in his field but he wasn't successful in doing so for two years.
Furthermore, they were spending money faster than Brittini could earn it. A typical problem for MANY young people. They feel almost invincible when they're in their early twenties. They think they have forever to pay down their debt and they count on the decades forward in which they feel they can earn plenty of money. Certainly enough money to easily pay for their home, their cars, and all the extras.
The problem is that debt compounds. So unless you're household income is extremely high, it's easy to fall into the debt trap like so many others. It's a huge problem in our society and one that isn't talked about enough.
We see every day first hand how devastating consumer debt can be. We get emails and loan applications sent through our system on a daily basis. Some of the situations are dire. Some people are losing their homes, their vehicles, and even worse, they're losing hope.
On top of all that, if their credit rating drops low enough, they can't get approved for a debt consolidation loan. They start going online and often get exposed to predatory lenders. These shady lenders promise to give them low interest loans with incredible rates.
So incredible it seems to good to be true. And there is a reason why their offers "seem to good to be true".
Because they're not.
So this brings us to our service. What we do is weed out all the garbage in the cesspool and find legitimate lenders who don't abuse and manipulate desperate borrowers.
Essentially, we've done the work for you, and we don't charge you to use our service. It's 100% free to use. You can apply for a consolidation loan using the form on this page and it won't hurt your credit rating at all.
This is what Bob and Brittni did. They filled out their quick pre-app, waited two business days, and viola. They had four different emails from lenders in their State. One was a credit union, one was a bank, and two were private lenders.
They chose the offer from one of the private lenders. They signed the documents and the loan agreement after getting it reviewed by a professional friend of theirs. By the next Monday afternoon they had the money in their bank account. Below you can see the numbers on their loan.
Principal = $85000
Interest Rate = $10.34
Term Length = 10
Monthly Payment = $1139.35
Total Paid Back = $136721.49
Total Interest paid out = $51721.49You can see the interest on this loan is over $51K. That's expensive, but at the time, it was a less expensive option than what they were dealing with. The creditors they had were charging a lot more than that.
The good news is that Bob found a full time job in his field of training soon after. They easily serviced this new debt.
If you live in the State of New York and you're trying to get approved for a debt consolidation loan, we hope our website helps you find a good lender and a low interest rate.
