Need a loan for bad credit..Help!
VSG on 02/03/12
does anyone know where I can apply for a loan to have this surgery for a person with bad credit. I admit, I havent been the best at paying my bills in the past...went thru a messy seperation and now heading for divorce. I just found out my husband hadn't been paying the mortgage on time and has defaulted for 4 months,,this was about year and a half ago but I had continued to make my monthly payments..(I just found out when I got my credit report last week)
anyways it has affected tremendously my credit and I also found out today my insurance will absolutely NOT pay for this surgery. Need a good ligit loan I can apply for for someone like me. anyone have any suggestions?

Might do a google under "medical finance companies". I did one and several popped up. Check them with the BBB before committing. Also are there any family or friends who might help? Or have you checked with your surgeon to see if a payment plan can be worked out? Sorry that your insurance fell through. Hope this helps and let me know if I can help further.

The company that coordinated my surgery will also finance the surgery too with a certain amount down (I think I saw where someone said like $2000 down) and it's like $200 a month after that. I think it's pretty high interest but would be worth it if that's your only option. It's through beliteweight.com

Ok, I know this works, have read about it many times: You can piggy back on someones credit to bring your score up. Have a family member or friend (or more) co sign or add you to their credit card..they will send a card and your friend or family member can rip it up. Just you having that will bring your score up but not sure how much. There are a lot of little tricks to do but mainly pay your bills on time, try to do more than the minimum payment on CC's and get the debt down ASAP! That will all bring your score up. Do NOT close any accounts down even if they have no debt on them. It will bring your score down and mess your ratio up. Doing these little things will make a difference in just a few months. Then apply for a medical loan and your interest rate will hopefully be better too.
Hope this helps.

Piggy Back? Huh, I have never heard of that. You mean have someone with a credit card now add me to their account and once the credit card comes in They tear it up? I never even have to have it. This would bring up my credit score? Wow! I'm in AWWW! I'm going to ask my mother to see if she will do this for me.
Wow Thanks.
