Purchasing Power and Credit Loans

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

In this report you are going to discover more than the average consumer/borrower may know. And this knowledge will give you the ability to have more purchasing power. Chances are that you are ready to go, borrow the money you need and take advantage of all the resources and lenders in this report.

Loans are money that you borrow and agree to pay it back over a set period of time with interest. The amount of money you borrow for your loan is called principal, and interest is the cost for borrowing the money. The length of time set to pay back the loan is known as the “term”.

Usually it may be a good idea to get a loan only for very large purchases or in an emergency. Getting a large loan or getting many loans that you can’t pay back can cause huge financial problems, because it can get very difficult to pay them back each month.

As far as signature loans go, you will be able to use the money as you need. Whether it’s for education, pay debt (most common), take a vacation, and pay medical bills, ECT. One thing that is important to keep in mind while you go through this process…and that’s not to

Pre-judge your own current credit.

I knew a person who thought that her credit history was terrible. Terrible… as in being not much credit history and a late payment. She refused to continue to try to borrow money. In reality her credit was not so bad, only she thought so.

This person was in need of a new and reliable car. The sooner she could get her car the better. That old Junker she had was in need of many repairs. I told her that she had 2 options.

First she could go online and spend a few dollars, order a credit report direct from a credit bureau. Not a 3rd party company that sells them on the web. (As to avoid a hard inquiry to your credit file) Get the credit report see what it’s saying and what the credit score is today. (This method is if you know how to basically read and interpret a credit report.

-OR-

She could just go to a car dealership and explain her current situation. Also mention what she is looking for. A good and honest car dealer with a good reputation would be able to check her credit and tell her what she qualifies for. The only problem with this method is that she will get a “Hard Inquiry” on her credit report.

But in this person’s case she needs a car now! 1 inquiry is not going to hurt too much.

After doing what I suggested, she was approved for her loan with a small down payment. She was given affordable payments for the loan term.

(Side note, there are many books and articles you can check out on the web in learning how to negotiate a good price for your car).

As far as my credibility goes…is I have been a Licensed Loan Officer and real estate investor for quite some time and that I have been involved in researching the fair credit reporting act and cleaning up credit since 1995. This research has also led me to discover all kinds of sources of loans, for any kind of reason, (legally & ethically, of course)!
