Question
Hello, i am wondering if you could give me some advice on how to get a loan with pretty bad credit. Me and my wife are trying to purchase a mobile home in Washington Court House, Ohio and are having trouble finding someone to give us a loan due to the fact that are credit scores are very low. One in the mid 500s and one in the 300 or so range. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
ERIC--
With 300+ & mid-500 credit scores, NO BANKS, MORTGAGE COMPANIES, CREDIT UNIONS or other INSTITUTIONAL LENDERS will take a chance on you.
Forget getting a loan now & go to work on getting your Credit Status "upgraded" over the next year or two.
You didn't say anything about your income/debts, gave us nothing to work with. Suggest you find a local Financial Counselor--maybe even a Bankruptcy Lawyer--to help you get your financial situation under control!
Sorry we can't give you the kind of help you obviously want--a loan right now.GOOD LUCK!
--JIM
