Bad Credit Loan Form for Tennessee
Bad Credit Loan In Tennessee
Don is married with two teenagers and lives in a condo that he owns. He lost his job about ten months ago and has just recently found another job.
His wife continued working and her income really helped a lot, but it was not enough to pay all of the expenses including the mortgage and other bills.
He fell behind on his mortgage and ignored the letters he received from the mortgage company. This was a really big mistake for Don.
When you ignore these letters and attempts to contact you in a situation like this one, the mortgage company has no choice but initiate foreclosure and take over your home.
When Don found another job, he started making payments again, but it was too late as far as the mortgage company was concerned.
He still owes 5 months of missed payments and unless he repays this amount soon he will be forced out of his home and he will also have a really bad credit rating.
He needs a bad credit loan to allow him to repay his late payments. This process is known as reinstatement and basically means that you repay all of the late payments you owe to the mortgage company.
He needs $9500 to pay the late mortgage payments and also repay some credit card debt that he has. Since his credit score is now in the tank, he will also have to pay more for his loan in terms of higher interest rates. He has asked for a four year term to keep the monthly payments manageable.
A $9500 loan with a four year term
and 7.59% interest rate for Don would cost him the following per month:
• Loan Amount (principal) = $9500
• Interest Rate = 7.59%
• Term Length =4 year
• Monthly Payment = $230.10
• Total Paid Back = $11044.74
• Total Interest = $1544.74
Anyone in Don’s position should always contact the mortgage company when you are going to miss a payment. There are several options that can be negotiated. They include:
• Forbearance – reduction of what is owed
• Reinstatement – repay 100% of the payments that were
missed
• Renegotiation – negotiate a lower interest rate and
perhaps a longer term to lower the payments
• Sell your home and pay out the mortgage
Don did none of these things until it was almost too late. Another couple of weeks and the sheriff would have been knocking on his door with an eviction notice. Fortunately for Don, he found another job and spoke to the mortgage company just in time.
He immediately started making his monthly payments and is in the process of negotiating reinstatement of his mortgage. There will be some additional fees because his home was already in foreclosure. He has learned a tough but valuable lesson.
With the approval of this loan, he will repay everything he owes and will be back in good standing with the mortgage company. Unfortunately for Don, his bad credit rating will linger for a few years. It takes several years of good financial behavior before these black marks are removed from your record. It was a close call for Don and his family, however they get to stay in the home they love.
If you live in the State of Tennessee and you're struggling to get a loan approval with a bad credit rating we hope our website helps you in some way.

Chris Somerset

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Beware of predatory lenders within the
state of Tennessee and nationwide. Unfortunately there are these predatory
lenders who still operate in the United States and they're looking for
a way to commit fraud. You can always tell when you have a predatory lender
on the line when they start asking for up front fees. If you come across a company or lending
institution asking for up front fees, or using "bad actor tactics",
do yourself a favor and us the complaint form below to fax in your complaint
to the Tennessee authorities. We hope you'll find our website a safe and
secure place to find information that will send
you on your way to getting approved for a consolidation loan. Catherine is currently paying almost $800
a month for all her current debts, which include a payday loan, a high
interest installment loan and her credit card payment. She needs to borrow $10000, pay everything
off and hopefully pay much less than the $800 a month she is currently
paying. She is now working again and wants to
get her finances back in order. She would like to fully discharge the
pay day loan which is costing her a bundle in interest and processing
fees. Her installment loan is less expensive,
but again it is high interest and the payments are based on a 2 year repayment
plan. Then there is her credit card which she
is paying the minimum and incurring high interest charges again. She is having a difficult time finding
a lender willing to help her since she also has a bad credit rating. This would be a substantial savings for
her and would provide the opportunity to enjoy life a little more especially
now that she has stable job that pays well. Even with a higher interest rate than
normal for a personal loan she will still save a great deal of money compared
to what she is currently paying. Catherine is trying t improve her situation
by applying for this loan. She also wants to improve her credit limit
so she will have fewer issues in the future when she needs to borrow money. Catherine is waiting to hear if she will
receive approval for a debt consolidation loan which will also help improve
her credit score at the same time. If you live in the State of Tennessee
and you're trying to get approved for a debt consolidation loan, we hope
our website helps you find a good lender regardless of your credit rating. Andy Somerset Andy

Consolidation
Loan in Tennessee
Even if she is approved for a high interest loan over a five year term,
she will pay significantly less than what she is paying.
She got into a bit of trouble financially over the past few months due
to being unemployed and also spending more than she should have.
She would like to get rid of them all, pay one monthly payment at a reasonable
interest rate and have some free cash to spend on other things she needs.
A $10000 loan with a 5 year term 8.75% interest rate for Catherine would
cost her the following per month:
• Loan Amount (principal) = $10000
• Interest Rate = 8.75%
• Term Length = 5 year
• Monthly Payment = $206.37
• Total Paid Back = $12382.34
• Total Interest = $2382.34
Catherine would reduce her monthly cash flow expenses by almost $600 if
she were able to find a lender willing to approve the loan she is looking
for.
She does not have any other assets that could be used as collateral for
her debt consolidation loan. This loan if approved will have to be a personal
loan non secured.
Cash flow is so important for consumers and companies. If you do not have
sufficient cash flow to pay your bills, eventually you will be in trouble
financially.
The best way to do this is to pay your bills on time always, take out
a loan and repay it on time, maintain a zero balance on several credit
cards to minimize your credit utilization number and ensure there are
never any negative financial judgements against you.
Sincerely,
Credit
