5000 Bad Credit Loans can be approved in a matter of hours, if you know what you are doing. The first thing you should know is that if you have no credit or bad credit, never apply for a loan with a conventional lender. Not only is it a waste of time, it will also make your credit worse than it is right now. All banks and credit unions are considered conventional lenders. Their loan programs are strictly designed for individuals with good to excellent credit. So if you have no credit or bad credit you don't stand a chance of getting approved by any conventional lender, so don't waste your time.

Search for lenders that offer bad credit loans or no credit check loans. If you talk to a lender by phone don't be hesitant to tell the lender that you have no credit or bad credit. Tell the lender as much information as possible about your credit situation. This includes late payments, judgments or closed accounts. The more information you supply the lender, the better your chances of getting approved for a loan.

You need to have a copy of your credit report before you apply for loan. Oftentimes this will save you from getting too many checks on your credit report. The first thing that most lenders want to do is to pull your credit report. With your credit report at hand they will be no need for the lender to pull your credit report because most of the information they will need will be right in front of you. Keep in mind that every time a lender pulls your credit report, your credit rating will be reduced.

The amount of your loan is important. If you have really bad credit, it would be better for you to apply for the lease amount a the loan that is available with the lender. As you make your payments on time most lenders will increase your loan amount or give you a new loan down the road. Is important to develop a good payment history with as many lenders as possible. Most lenders will start you out with a loan in the amount of between $5,000 to $10,000. There are programs that go as high as $50,000, but in the real world of credit, you generally will not be offered a loan amount over $10,000 for your first loan request.

Bottom line is that you need to start out slow and only work with lenders that clearly state that they have loan programs for individuals that have no credit or bad credit.
