Search to Find a Bad Credit Loan or Credit Card
Though limited, there are still offers available for a bad credit loan, yet bad credit card offers are disappearing much quicker. In recent months, a handfull of some of the most popular cards among bad credit people have been withdrawn.
Last summer before bad credit loan lenders and credit card issuers began their mass exodus of subprime credit offers, we had predicted the problems consumers would have today with obtaining credit.
Worst, we predict the problems will be long term, and that any further stimulus packages are not likely to instantly and completely turn around the trend of ever-reducing subprime credit offers.
Meanwhile, where can consumers; desperate to make ends meet, find a bad credit loan or a credit card?
If some legislators have their way, the phrase 'Limited Offer' may soon apply to one of the remaining bad credit loan offers... the payday loan. Say what you will about these short term, high risk loans, but they have withstood the test of time in many states because they have provided a valuable service to cash-strapped people. Where else can many Americans turn when their car breaks down and they need a thousand dollars for repairs so they can get to work? We fear that legislatures will next focus their eyes on payday lenders and place their necks under the chopping block.
High risk and high demand. Fact is, payday lenders are increasingly facing higher risks of default as the economy further slumps. It's understandable that such an industry would need to adjust its rates/fees to cover anticipated losses and to keep their own employees on the payroll. Given the results of the latest credit crisis, how likely will government intervention improve the payday loan industry?
The solution is a less government controlled credit market. Allow creditors to aggressively compete for customers through various lines of credit with varying terms, and let consumers make their own decisions and be bound by them. Only through growth and spirited competition can consumers once again obtain easy loan and credit card approvals and at competitive interest rates. Only the government is capable of loaning money at no interest rate to high risk people, but that's at the cost of taxpayers themselves -- at a cost to their futures as well as their childrens'.
