tales from an unaware spender
Have you ever tried to get a loan? Weather it be a secured loan or an unsecured loan I have yet to try for a few reasons. The first being that I highly doubt that I have a good enough credit rating to get a loan with a reasonable interest rate and to compare loans seems to be more a vision of a nightmare to me.
I have known others who have been able to get loans without a problem with little to no credit but just the same it seems it ends in one loan to pay off another then transfer this balance to that balance in hopes for a better outcome when it is only delaying the inevitable while wracking the overall bill up even higher.
The main reason I am told I would not easily get accepted for a loan is my method in paying bills. I do not like hearing from bill collectors or anything like that so I prepay all my expenses for months and more often years or more at a time. Overall I think that if the person looking to find a loan is already financially stable then it is not a bad idea at all and can do wonders for your credit rating from what I have seen. I think it is something you should weigh out all pros and cons to and come up with detailed budgets as for how you intend to make payments and so on also figuring in things like protection if you become unemployed or otherwise physically incapable of making your payments.
From what I have seen that is a common additional feature you can add in with your loan. It does increase the payments a bit I believe but would surely be worth it in the long run. I think I may look into getting a personal loan just to see if I can kick off some great credit.
