Getting a home loan with lousy credit

by MM

"Re-mortgage from 2.65%"

An interesting advert on the very Helium page I picked up this thread, You might think it's unrealistic.You might think such offers will enhance the global problems with bad credit? Some banks actually pay more than that for the money they borrow to lend to you. For example, the three month US LIBOR is 5.3% this day.

Some lenders need to get real. Indeed some of them need to stop lying and cheating. Persuading the vulnerable to take on debt that at first seems okay, but earns fat commissions and almost always comes to a sticky end as the initial interest rates escalate and the fraudulent applications the perpetrators engineer fall flat.

Beware of such money lenders. Some of then have little regard to your well-being. They never did have.

Should you wish to borrow visit well established financial institutions with reputations. Take their considered advice and stay within your ability to repay.

Guys and gals with previously impeccable credit records have fallen foul of these easy credit bastards. For the first time in their previously clean history borrowers find themselves with zero credit ratings.

If you can, don't borrow. If you need to, choose the lender very carefully indeed. Many of them appear to be the sharks they always used to be.
