Bad Credit Home Equity Loan score of 585? I recently have decided to pull some money from my house for a few different reasons. I have had one of those years where some bills have gone unpaid and have gone to collections, not my best year but I am sure we have all faced this in our lives. My credit score has hit as a mid score a 585 which is below the guidelines for some lenders to allow an Heloc. My home value is about 500 K, and the loan pay off is about 250 K so I do have the equity in the home for the loan but just not the credit score. I have looked at a Refi but would suffer a prepayment charge from the lender that is around 8 K as well as another 10 K in closing costs etc....etc... I would like to do a Heloc and I am not really concerned so much about the interest rate on the deal as I will plan to sell the house in the next year. I am looking for a company that does that kind of lending. Any suggests my yahoo answer friends.

I need a NO credit check, NO Docs, Home Equity Loan. I own my house (no leins) and only want 80% Loan To Value I am tired of online mortgage sites promising no docs no credit check loans and not really being anything but regular standard lenders. I have a ton of equity in my 4 year old paid-off home. I wish to get 80% of the appraised value in a home equity loan. I work for myself and much of my income is not reported. I have been divorced and my credit score is bad. I do own the house though and wish to use that equity. Please only answer with a real solution. Predator lenders need not bother me with empty promises and credit card lending rates on a secured home mortgage/equity loan. It needs to be a lender that can operate in South Carolia as well. This is a house, 2 story frame built house 2168 sq feet heated. 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage all on a .51 acre lot. Thank You Very Much!
No credit history, need home equity loan.? I own my home free and clear - value at 150k, paid cash three years ago. I have no credit cards, no car loans, and have paid cash for everything for the past 15 years... therefore, I have NO credit - not bad, not good, just NONE reported. I tried to get a 30k home equity loan for personal needs, but was denied because of "no reported credit". I have an income of about 2500 per month (gross) and I have no debt. Do I have other options? I don't want to take a 1st mortgage out, please tell me that this isn't my only option. As a follow up - this is pretty time sensitive. Would love to have 30-60 days to establish credit. I just never believed that it would be a problem since I own my home.
Pay off credit card with fixed home equity draw? My 48 y/o sister has asked me a question and I don't want to give her bad advice. Here's her question and her stated financial info: Should they pay off balance on their 8.25% (prime for life) credit card (with a long and excellent credit history) and put that balance towards their home equity loan? Both have high FICOs. They currently have a 1st mortgage of $200K fixed at 4.25% until 5/09. They also have a fixed (locked in) rate of 7.65 on their home equity line at a 10-year term with a current balance of $50K ($18K avail). Their home is worth between $550-580K. They only have one credit card they use, but it's $12K (prime for life) currently 8.25% and she makes at least double the monthly payments in an attempt to pay down. They would like to eliminate the credit card debt if possible to be able to save more and not feel so stretched each month. Plus one teen now needs a car (more outflow). Banker will lock addt'l draw and combine both for 7.6%. Yearly income $90K. Advice? Forgot to mention that mortgage is $1375/month, she pays $700 on equity loan (min $685), and she pays $700-1000/month down on the credit card. If CC was eliminated, the banker told her the new lock on the equity loan would make that monthly payment $763, which she could also pay more down on with no penalty. She's really nervous about fooling with the equity in the home because of their old(er) age. Should she keep things as is and pay down aggressively or transfer to current home equity or other great idea? Thanks again.

Is there a good way to get a bad credit loan? I need a loan of approximately 30,000 dollars. I work full time (long hours) so getting a second job isn't reasonable. I do own a condo, however, my father is part owner. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable getting a home equity loan.
Will I be able to get a home equity loan if I am currently in a forebearance agreement with my mortgage? We will be listed as "entering foreclosure" until September, but have already made 5 consecutive payments into the forebearance plan, including a large down payment. However, in order to get our finances in order and pay education costs, we need to take out a home equity loan. Will lenders approve the loan (if we have one great credit score, one bad, and a good income) in our current state? Or would it be rejected outright?

How does a home equity loan work? I need to know all the details and if it is a good choice. I have payed off my vehicle and credit cards and have none, but I have alot of student loan debt. Our dilema are the student loans. And paying them. I have heard about home equity loans and heard about being tax deductible. How do they work? Do they look bad on your credit? How much can you borrow ? Does it add to the years to pay off your house? We only have eleven years left to pay as it is right now. Just wondering what is a good option. I even thought that after I graduate and am working that my pay checks can go all to my student loans. I am just looking for some good ideas without having to stress out about debt and bills and such. We are trying to pay our bills off and so far have done good. But those student loans are looming in the background.
Home equity loan a good option to pay off bad debt? We have terrible credit and would like to pay off all of our debt and start fresh. We own our home and have probably about $40,000 in equity. We'd like to refi the house, take the equity out and pay off our debt - it's the only option we can think of besides declaring bankruptcy. But honestly with bad credit I don;t know that this is even an option for us, and if it is, I don't even know where to start. Is it a good idea, and if so, where can we look for a refi that will loan to people with really bad credit? If it's not a good idea, is bankruptcy our only other option? We live paycheck to paycheck right now and don't have any other way of paying off the debt. Thanks! To the answerer telling me to "grow up" -- please don't judge. We are trying to grow up and get out of debt the best way we can. We have a ten-month old baby to consider and want to do what is best for all of us. We have made some bad choices in the past and have learned some lessons the hard way - we accept full responsibility for our past decisions and we're doing the best we can. I just need helpful guidance - not tacky comments to make me feel even worse about the situation!!

Bad Credit Equity Loan? My FICO is about 560 and I have a little over 20% equity in my home. I have been offered a refinace, but the terms really scare me. My financial situation would be much better served with an equity loan than this refinance. The closing costs take up too much of the amount I'm borrowing and it's an adjustable rate mortgage that starts more than 3% higher than my current mortgage. Any suggestion???
I filed for chapter 13 to save my house. Is it possibly get a home equity loan? I filed for Chapter 13 to keep my home. I was out of work for over a year and things really went bad.

Home Equity Loan with a FICO of 530? I have less than 15% equity in my home and need to consolidate some bills. My FICO is right at 530 and I have one late mortgage payment about 3 months ago. The amount I need is about 10% equity in my home, but can't find a lender willing to let me have the money with such a low score. At this point in time, the interest rate is not as important as getting some things paid before they begin to affect my credit even more. Anyone know of any companies out there that will go with a 100% equity loan with my bad credit score?
Home Equity loan when needing a small amt. of money? I know I do not understand when to get a home equity loan and how they work. My husband and I have fallen on bad times financially, but will be making a great deal more money in about 2 months. Basically, we need about 7,000 dollars to consolidate debt and become current with some payments. We have only lived in our home for 3.5 years -- so do we even have equity?

Would you be willing to invest in a high risk loan for 28.75 % if you knew the person had a good job? We make over 80,000 a year and we have a bad credit rating because of a health issue and some not so smart choices. We are trying to get a loan to pay off everything on our credit (less than 7000.00) not counting our car loan (up in FEB 07) and our house (we owe110,000 and it is worth 135,000, but can't get a home equity loan in TX b/c of the refiance only 80% law.) We can afford a payment of up to 475.00 a month. I have a listing on Prosper, but I only have a few bids right now. The listing is under gandbcole if you want to find out a little more about us. I just need to know where to find a private investor that wants to carry a loan for 2 yrs at a 28.75% rate. I do not mind paying the high interest if I can get rid of all the old on my credit and only have good stuff showing to improve it. What should I do? I would even sign a personal guarantee putting up the equity on my home for collateral. Just do not know where to look.
What is the best way to payoff my credit card debt? I currently have around 10,000.00 dollars of credit card debt on three different cards. I am paying 29.99% on two of them, and 22.99% on the other one. I have tried to get a card with a better rate to transfer my balances to, but the issuers won't give me one because I am using so much of my available credit now. I have not had any late payments on my credit accounts, tho. Should I try to get a home equity loan to pay off the cards, or is that a bad idea, too? I know that I got myself in this situation, and I am wholly responsible. I do not feel right about declaring bankruptcy, but really want to get out of debt somehow. If I am unable to get a lower rate, then I don't see a way to rid myself of the debt. Any advice?

I applied for home equity credit thru chase. Is this a good or bad idea? I need $11K for a new roof. It is going to be a lot of work up there, so I asked for $2,000 more than they bid the job in case of some wood rot or some other extra's. I requested a fixed rate and no closing cost, so they offered me the $11K for the loan at a fixed rate of 7.8% interest for 4 yrs. They said they would offer me an adjustable rate of $25,000 and if I need to borrow more than the $11,000 they would let me borrow and fix that rate. They also said no closing cost. What do you think? Can I find a better deal somewhere else? I need to add, the roof is leaking water all over the place, and I have a trash can sitting next to me to catch the rain water,so this is kind of an urgent matter. Also, this is a 2 story house with an add on addition and a garage with a big tear off since I think we need to know what is under the roofing.

How do you get landscaping on credit? In the recent movie "Fun With Dick and Jane" starring Jim Carrey, one of the bad-luck things that happens to Dick and Jane as a result of Dick losing his job is that the landscaping is reposessed. Which led me to think the other day, how do you get landscaping on credit? Assuming that they did not put it on their credit card, or get a home equity loan (because a credit card company or a bank, I would think, would not reposess landscaping; rather, they would force payment on the card or note through bankruptcy or foreclosure on the collateral), my thought is that they must have had credit with a landscaping company and were paying a monthly payment, which, when they couldn't afford the payments anymore, was reposessed. So, is this really possible, or do you think this was just done for comedy's sake for the movie? Anybody ever heard about having landscaping done on credit through a landscaping company? If this option is for real, my yard could really use it.... ;) Thanks! Yeah, I thought it seemed like a stretch. The reposessed the in-ground flowers, shrubs, plants, newly-planted tree saplings, and grass. Any thoughts anyone? Yeah, I thought it seemed like a stretch. The reposessed the in-ground flowers, shrubs, plants, newly-planted tree saplings, and grass. Granted, it was hilarious, but I'm guessing, not based in reality. Any thoughts anyone?
Not late on bills, 685 credit score, equity in my home, was approved then declined by Lenders? Need Help! I applied for an Equity loan, had score 685 and equity. Made payments way before due date not past due date. I drive for a living...me and fiance were splitting up and needed this loan BAD to pay off my truck. The note was $626.00 a month, house $685.00 electric $165.00 and so on. I was told I had been approved and qualified for. When the Lenders (credit card co.) found out I want to pay off truck to get the title they declined me. Tell me if I'm wrong? That would've put $565.00 back in my pocket each month to pay bills. If you got hurt and can't work you can catch up on credit cards but NOT YOUR TRUCK. They will come GET IT!!! Then YOU LOOSE EVERTHING! Open your eyes everyone! Watched what's going on and NOT CSI. Don't be led to the PASTURES!!!

What damage am I doing if I apply for a loan the second time.? I applied for a busines loan line of credit and was turned down due to to many over drafts.

what is a decent interest rate on a HELOC (home equity line of credit). ? we have very good credit and our? household income is around 130k. we have a mortgage loan of 280,000. our HELOC interest rates is the PRIME RATE plus 3/8ths. we got this home equity line of credit with Countrywide Financial. Our mortgage is with JP Morgan Chase. I'm wondering if I could have done better on the HELOC by going straight to JP Morgan Chase for the HELOC and possibly might have avoided the $500 closing fee? Is this a bad deal I have with Countrywide? Do others know if Countrywide is competitive. I should have compared more before I got the loan. Does Countrywide loan to risky customers and therefore expect a higher interest rate from all its customers?

If I choose to blow off a mortgage loan, how long will it take to regain credit? BadGirl has an idea. What if I dump all of my student loans into a refinance and/or home equity (on property I own, but need to unload), and then I decide to bail on that property. It will take me a good 20 years to pay off my large student loan, but how long will it take to recoup my credit rating if I do this? BadGirl thinks it will take longer to pay off the student loan, than rebuild a bad credit rating (and get rid of the student loan debt for good). Comments/suggestions? BadGirl was not considering a bankruptcy, just giving the property back to the lender and dealing with the rest. You are right about the fact that I should be smarter, but I actually make about $40K less than I did before I became a teacher, and have more college debt because of it. I was thinking about refinancing with the same shitty company that talked me into the interest only rate to begin with-I thought maybe I could give them some of their "interest" back.
