Damaged credit loans are loans made by lenders to people who have a history of bad credit or a significant blemish on credit such as bankruptcy. Damaged credit loans are risky to lenders because of the higher likelihood that the borrower will fail to repay the loan. As a result of this increased risk, damaged credit loans often have higher interest rates and larger penalty fees than loans made to people with good credit. However, there are a number of quality programs providing damaged credit loans which are fair to the borrower.

The credit bureaus and financial institutions must comply with over 200 legal provisions when reporting information on your credit reports. They commonly fail to follow The Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. When this happens, we demand the removal information that was illegally added to your credit reports. When the credit bureaus and creditors realize that they have been caught violating these laws, they would rather change the information on your reports than risk a lawsuit or a fine.

What is damaged credit?

Damaged credit loans are made to people with damaged credit, meaning anyone who does not have a high credit score or who has blemishes on the credit report. A person who qualifies for damaged credit loans may do so based on any number of factors including:

• Bankruptcy in the last seven years
• Excessive outstanding debt
• Failure to repay previous loans
• Frequent loan applications
• History of going over credit limits
• History of late payments
• Lack of established credit
• Lack of steady employment history
• Low income
• Prior home foreclosure

Damaged credit loans as a risk to lenders

Damaged credit loans are a risk to lenders because of the increased likelihood that the borrower will fail to repay the loan in a timely manner. Damaged credit loans often require more extensive application processes than standard loans because of their inquiry into the reasons for the damaged credit. This increased attention requires increased training and staffing of lending institutions, resulting in increased cost to the lender. The risk that damaged credit loans pose to lenders translates into higher interest rates and larger penalty fees on damaged credit loans as opposed to standard good credit loans.

Damaged credit loans as a program

In today’s society, there are many, many people who suffer damaged credit. This is due to a combination of factors including:
• Fluctuating employment rates
• Higher tuition costs
• Lower general wages in comparison to cost of living
• Overall increased cost of living
• Younger loan applicants

The good news is that the increasing number of people who have damaged credit has resulted in a line of damaged credit loan programs which are becoming well-established. These damaged credit loan programs are increasingly fair to the borrower, making this method of obtaining a loan a more reasonable option than ever before.

Use the damaged credit loan to rebuild your credit

The damaged credit loan may be a good thing even if it does come with increased interest rates. The damaged credit loan can be used by responsible borrowers to rebuild credit. Regular on-time repayment of the damaged credit loan will result in an improved credit score. This increases your credibility as a borrower and gives you leverage to renegotiate the terms of the damaged credit loan in the future.
