Matt asked:


I’m 18 and trying to build credit, and I’m looking to get an installment loan.

Would it be a type of loan where I would take out, say, $1000 and put up $1000 of my own as collateral? I know that I pay it off over a set amount of time at a set interest rate.

I’m just wondering if it’s the kind of loan where I would put something up as collateral or how does it work?
I already have a credit card.

BeBeAdY asked:


I just received an offer to apply for a personal loan for up to 35,000 with Bank of America and for up to 5,000 with citibank. I actually need no more than 7,500. The interest rate is between 9,97 and 27,88 based on credit worthyness. I will like to know how it works. I’m hesitating between that and applying for a credit card. My credit score is fair (650). A friend advised me to go for the loan because it’s a guaranteed fixed interest. But since I’ve never done it b4 I will appreciate some more advice. Thanks Much.

Pehsha P asked:


I am looking for a personal loan, but my credit is not good. I don’t want a payday loan but that is all I find on the internet when I type in personal loans for people with bad credit. Do you know any lender who will give loans to people with bad credit? I don’t really care to much about the interest rate. I just would like the loan to pay off some stuff and get some new things I need around my house. But I don’t own a home, so I can get a home loan.
