How to Find a Loan Without Wrecking Your Credit Score

Applying for a job, getting an interview, and then going to work and getting a paycheck is a wonderful experience. The same can be said for going on a first date, getting to know your dating partner on subsequent dates, and then meeting each other’s friends and family, getting married, and forming a family unit together. Being stuck in an endless loop of the early stages of either of those processes is downright demoralizing, though. When you send 200 job applications and no one offers you a job, it is hard to convince yourself to keep applying. Likewise, there is no misery quite like going on dozens of first dates, only to have your date ghost you after each one. Eventually, you are afraid to try; the fear of rejection makes you feel stuck. Unfortunately, applying for loans can easily turn into a similar downward spiral. Therefore, you should be strategic about requesting loans when, from a lender’s perspective, you are not exactly a catch. For help strategizing about borrowing when your credit score is nothing to write home about, contact a Boca Raton debt lawyer.

The Trouble With Applying for Loans to Get You Out of a Financial Crisis

One of the most depressing things about personal finance is that the rich get richer while you are stuck in the same tight financial circumstances where you have been for years. If you have plenty of money in the bank, lenders are willing to lend you vast sums; sometimes credit card issuers even increase your credit limit without you asking. If you don’t, though, lenders and credit reporting bureaus go out of their way to kick you while you are down.

Whenever you apply for a loan, the lender will check your credit score by requesting a credit report from the credit reporting bureaus. This is called a hard pull, and it lowers your credit score slightly. One hard pull doesn’t not do major damage to your creditworthiness, but imagine what happens when one lender rejects you, so you apply for a loan from a different lender, who does another hard pull and rejects your application, so you apply with a third lender and so on. All these hard pulls and rejections create a vicious cycle that makes it increasingly difficult to access funds.

Can You Get a Loan Without a Credit Check?

Yes, there are lenders that will lend you money without asking questions about your credit score, but these are as shady as they sound, and they are usually prohibitively expensive. There is, however, a new startup called Lending Match. It checks your credit score and then matches you with lenders who will lend to you with your current credit score. When you apply for loans from these lenders, they do not do another hard pull and make your credit score even lower; they just accept the credit score information that Lending Match discloses to them.
