In: Personal Loan
23 Feb 2010I’ve researched them on the internet and nothing bad comes up. In fact, a lot of websites say that sites like this require a fee (this one does) because they are acting as a middle man between the person seeking the loan and the high risk lender. I just wanted to see though if anyone out there has actually gotten a loan.
This is site about loans reference and information question..

That would scare me to death. I, personally, wouldn’t trust ANY website like that.
You’d be better off working on fixing your credit and getting a loan from a legitimate source.

I’ve actually never even heard of it or seen the name before. The mere appearance lends itself to a very bad connotation; chances are they charge an extremely high interest rate. You would, no doubt, be best served by staying far, far away from these people!!

This is a scam.
No legitimate lender requires you to pay fees up front. After all, once they approve the loan, they just take the fees out of the proceeds.
The scammers use a variety of excuses as to why *you* have to send them money. All of them are lies to steal from you.

Do they want the fee before you get the loan, or do they take the fees out of the loan? While many companies charge fees, it is not legitimate to take the fees in advance of the loan – in fact, it is commonly known as ‘advance fee fraud’ and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a warning and some information for consumers seeking ‘bad credit’ loans to help them avoid falling for a scam.:
Read the advisory below or directly from the FTC website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel16.shtm
Advance-Fee Loan Scams: ‘Easy’ Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons
You may be tempted by ads and websites that guarantee loans or credit cards, regardless of your credit history. The catch comes when you apply for the loan or credit card and find out you have to pay a fee in advance. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, that could be a tip-off to a rip-off. If you’re asked to pay a fee for the promise of a loan or credit card, you can count on the fact that you’re dealing with a scam artist. More than likely, you’ll get an application, or a stored value or debit card, instead of the loan or credit card.
According to the FTC, below are some red flags that can tip you off to scam artists’ tricks. For example:
A lender who isn’t interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes — for example, so a borrower can start a business or consolidate bill payments. But one who doesn’t care about your credit record should give you cause for concern. Ads that say “Bad credit? No problem” or “We don’t care about your past. You deserve a loan” or “Get money fast” or even “No hassle — guaranteed” often indicate a scam.
Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they guarantee firm offers of credit — even to creditworthy consumers.
Fees that are not disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you’ve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you’re told it’s for “insurance,” “processing,” or just “paperwork.”
Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.
It’s also a warning sign if a lender says they won’t check your credit history, yet asks for your personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they’re hiding.
A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.
A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look slick. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another reputable organization, and some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company’s phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.
A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General’s office or your state’s Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.
A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don’t make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don’t ask anyone to do that. In addition, don’t use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there’s a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don’t pressure their customers to wire funds.
Finally, just because you’ve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, don’t assume it’s a good deal — or even legitimate. Scam artists like to operate on the premise of legitimacy by association, so it’s really important to do your homework.

I have heared many things from people saying that speedybadcreditloans.com is not so reliable. They have many hidden terms which you come to know only after taking the loan. So you can go for some other company. There are many banks and loan firms who will give you personal loan. Banks give loan only to people who have good credit level, but private lenders give loan for bad credit. The best way to get personal loan is to go to the lender website and apply online. This save a lot of time and money,
I hope http://loan-guides.net will help you in getting a personal loan online.

NAME ALONE SAYS IT ALL. This is appealing to people’s desperation, and no legitimate lenders use fee front loans. Do not use them.
