How do I apply for a personal loan with bad credit in Antioch?

If you're approved, you'll review the full terms before signing.
Can I get a personal loan with a 500 credit score?
It may be possible. A score around 500 limits options with traditional banks, but some online lenders consider low scores when you have steady income and an active bank account. Offers may be for smaller amounts, and approval isn't guaranteed. The quickest way to find out is to submit one request through our network and see whether lenders respond with an offer. It takes about 3 minutes.
What is an installment loan?
An installment loan is money you borrow and repay in fixed, scheduled payments, usually every two weeks or monthly, until it's paid off. Personal loans, auto loans and many short-term loans are installment loans. Because repayment is spread out, each payment is smaller than a lump sum. Lenders in our network offer installment loans from $100 to $5,000 to Antioch borrowers who qualify.
What credit score do I need for a personal loan?
There's no single minimum. Some lenders want good credit, but many lenders in our network consider fair, poor and limited credit and weigh your income and job history too. A higher score may get you better rates and larger amounts, while lower scores may still qualify for smaller loans. Find out what's available to you in Antioch with our free 3-minute form.
Are personal loans bad for your credit?
Not necessarily. Checking offers often uses a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score, though a lender may do a hard pull before final approval. Once you have the loan, on-time payments can help build your credit history, especially with lenders that report to the major bureaus, while missed payments can lower your score. Antioch residents can see their options in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Antioch?
No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
