If a loan is applied for and used for personal purposes, it is referred to as a personal loan. It is a type of debt that is taken for family, household or personal uses. It is different from mortgage loans and business loans. The lender provides money to the borrowers as loans and the borrower pays back this loan amount. But generally the payment will be like regular installments. Personal loans are generally offered at a cost commonly known as debt interest. All your financial requirements can be easily solved with a personal loan. For reasons like family ceremony, a grand vacation and a surprise gift, the personal loans lend a helping hand. All types of your expenses are taken care of by the personal loans within a short period of time. People generally go for personal loans for covering travel expenses, medical expenses, holiday expenses, marriage and honeymoon expenses and other personal expenses.

Personal loans are offered in two major categories. They are secured personal loans and unsecured personal loans. For secured personal loans, security against property is a must. But for unsecured personal loans collateral is not required. Mostly depending on your personal preferences and circumstances the loan type is chosen. Secured personal loans are secured by collateral and are suitable when you require a larger loan amount. These types of personal loans are easier to get and secured personal loans are offered to persons even with bad credit history. Quite opposite to this is unsecured personal loan that does not need any collateral. For these loans the lender does not have any hold on the borrowers property if there is any default payment. These loans are not easier to get because the lender relies on the repayment ability of the borrower.

One of the main advantages of personal loan is that, while applying there is no necessity to specify reasons for the loan and it can be used for your personal necessities. Personal loans provide you the freedom of using the loan amount for any of your personal needs like debt consolidation, medical surgery, education expenses, vehicle buying and house renovation. The interest rates of secured personal loans are lower when compared with the interest rates of unsecured personal loans. This is due to the reason that secured personal loans are less risky to the lender since it is provided against collateral.

The major benefits the borrower gets with secured personal loans are lower monthly payments, longer loan period and large loan amount. Though for unsecured personal loan collateral is not necessary, the loan interest rates are slightly higher because the lender is at high risk if there is any default in payment by the borrower. This is not true for all unsecured loans. If you do some research you will be able to find out that there are many lenders who offer unsecured personal loans with lower interest rates. The benefits of unsecured personal loans are quick money lending, less paper work and fast loan processing. Personal loans are also offered for persons with poor credit record and this provides them an opportunity to improve their credit history. The two important factors you have to consider while applying for personal loans are the term (loan repayment period) and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR). However, you may have to do some research for choosing the best one.

I need a personal loan to pay off my bills and basically just get caught up financially, and is considering going to a bank and asking for a personal loan for the first time. Other than student loans, car loans, and check-n-go stores, I’ve never went into a bank to ask for money because I didn’t think I would qualify. Now I need to know what the whole loan process would require from me.

I own the property completely, there is nothing owed. It is two lots which total 2.9 acres. The taxable value is about $70,000. It has no water or power, it’s completely raw. I want a loan for $10,000 for debt consolidation and to pay off some small personal loans. I have a poor credit history, but am employed and make decent money.

My brother-in-law took out a home equity loan and he went to refinance his house and for whatever reason the house did not appraise for what it needed to partly because of the home equity loan that he already had. He was told to pay off his home equity loan and come back to refinance his house. Is there anyway that he can change his home equity loan to a personal loan? Or would that even help? please help. thanks.

Hi..I’m 19 years old and I need a fast loan. My credit score is in the 700. Right now I don’t work and is currently staying home with parent enjoying the summer. In a couple of weeks I should have a job and should be getting around $800 to $1000 a month. The loan amount that I’m interest is about 15K. I really just need about 12k but just in case. I have Bank of America as my local bank right now.

I want to borrow some extra money for school (not a school loan). Is there any where I can go to find the best interest rates for a personal loan like they do for car insurance?

Mike D! asked:


I will probably need to replace my car soon, but I don’t know that I want a traditional car loan because it would require having more insurance, and thus be rather expensive for me. (It’d be about double for me, as I don’t have a spotless driving record). I was wondering if instead I could get a personal loan from the bank, say in the neighborhood of $3-5K and use that for a car thus saving me a bunch of money by not needing collision coverage if I could pay for the car in cash.

Now the questions … is this possible, or is there usually some stipulation that you can’t use a personal loan for a car? What sort of collateral do you usually need for a personal loan? If you have good credit, can you get one w/out collateral? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Karl asked:


I was wondering if anyone took a personal bank loan in order to pay off their credit card balances? Do banks actually offer a credit card consolidation loans yet and for that purpose only? From what I understand this would be better than a 401K loan. Forget the home equity loan. Also heard enough about those so called “credit card repair companies” that they are not worth it. About 16k owed and I am sick and tired of their finance charges , late fees, etc. Want rid them once and for all!
