What if there was a way for you to take out some money now to repay your debt, and be left with some lower interest rate loans? Luckily for you, there is something JUST like that. It's called a personal loan.
However, if you aren't careful, getting a personal loan could ADD to the debt you already owe on your credit cards and make it that much harder for you to achieve financial success. Here we'll give you everything you need to know about personal loans.
A personal loan is money that you take out from a lender which you'll then repay in monthly installments over the course of 2 to 7 years. In other words, it is a type of credit that you can use but also must repay, just like mortgages.
Of course, a personal loan isn't the same for everyone. The terms you'll get will depend on a variety of factors including your:
1. Credit score
2. Credit history
3. Outstanding debt
Despite all of the requirements and factors that your lender will check before giving you a loan, on your end, applying for a personal loan actually isn't that complicated. You'll need to gather some documents. This includes.
– Photo ID
– Proof of employment
– Proof of addre
– Educational history
– Social security number
– Financial information
This step can either be done in person or online.
Some common uses of personal loans are:
– Debt consolidation
– Home improvement project
– Medical bill
– Refinancing existing loan
– Paying for a wedding
– Paying for a vacation
