Brian asked:


Is it possible to get a home equity loan or 2nd mortgage with a poor credit score. The one thing we have going for us is that our house is completely paid off. We have no credit cards and our vehicles are also paid off. The only debt we have are some medical bills that we are making payments on which is around $2500. My wife and I are both employed and make decent income of around $6000 monthly. We just have some things coming up to where we would like a loan for around $15,000. I think our credit score is around 590 . (We ran in to some difficulty when I lost my job and had a baby born with a disability and medical bills piled up). But with that much equity and such a low score would there be a loan company that would work with us? Would our local bank be able to help or should I check around on the net that specialize in bad credit loans? Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Thank you all so much for such great answers and some great explanations! Our original loan for our house was over 10 years ago so I don’t remember much about how all of that loan stuff works. We have never checked in to a equity loan so I know nothing about them except for some research on the net. I think I’ll start with my local bank and go from there. Thank you all!

Danity……I have no idea what you meant by your answer!
One more quick note. I was not working for quite some time due to a back injury that ended in surgery. I have now been back to work for a little over a year now though. My wife has been a teacher for 12 years. So, we had a 2 year span to where our credit went down the drain but the last year have been on time with what little debts we do have. I was also thinking it would be difficult to raise our credit score without having any credit out there. Maybe starting with a credit card and just using it for small purchases and paying off the balance each month would be one way. I was also thinking with the equity loan would really help rebuild our credit with timely payments. My son needs some extensive dental work and that is why we are wanting a equity loan to pay for that and other services he needs due to his disability.

Don’t lose sleep over your bad credit home loan

Having a bad credit home loan is not a comfortable situation to be in but you don’t need to lose sleep over it. Tackling a bad credit home loan requires patience, determination and a helpful agency to support you in this financial problem. Redrockmortgages.com offers credit loans to help you emerge from your financial troubles.

You have bad credit, now what?

When you have bad credit, you need to take a loan to pay for all other financial requirements that need to be fulfilled. Before applying for a bad credit home loan or any other bad credit loan you must make sure that you have surveyed all your options because the bad credit home loan that you choose to opt for will decide whether or not you can emerge from the vicious circle of taking loans again and again to pay off the credit you accumulated earlier.

Remember, that the right credit loan can remove you from this sticky financial crunch but a hastily taken bad credit home loan can make the situation worse by saddling you with escalating interest rates and payments that you cannot afford to make. Be sure that you consider all your options before you opt for any loan.

What are my options?

At redrockmortgages.com, we understand the less-than-savoury circumstances you find yourself in and this is why we offer bad credit home loans and bad credit loans that seek to pull you out of your bad credit situation as soon as possible. We are not averse to offer bad credit home loans and other bad credit loans to people who have defaulted on their credit card payments or mortgage payments at competitive rates because we understand that anyone can be a victim of bad credit.

Our bad credit loans are designed keeping in mind borrowers who have a host of bad credit issues that also include defaults and judgments. Our interest rates are very competitive, unlike other lenders who claim to offer help for bad credit but escalate their interest rates so that their customers move from one bad credit trap to another.

What type of loans can I avail?

At redrockmortages.com, we offer bad credit home loans and other bad credit loans to customers who need loans that are particularly suited to paid or unpaid defaults and judgments, mortgage arrears and discharged bankrupts, casually employed or employed for the short term such as in spurts of 3 months or less, construction loans as well as loans for small apartments.

You can opt to pay both the principle and interest when repaying the loan or repaying only the interest for the first five years. The loan term is for 30 years and you can choose the payback frequency that suits you best. It could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The mode of paying back your bad credit home loan can be through cheques, salary crediting, electronic funds transfer or direct debit. We only accept a residential security.
