You may have heard the term home equity loan but are not really sure whether this type of loan will work for you. The first step is to understand the concept of home equity.
Equity is the worth of your home after reducing the amount to be paid for your home loans. That is in simple terms if you sell your home, the equity will be the amount left in your wallet after paying off the mortgage amount.
These types of loans help you to get a fresh finance without considering of refinancing options. Also the home equity loans can be taken to clear off the home loan also.

The big issue we have is that we have bad credit due to myself getting injured and not being able to work for a few years. Also, right before my injury we purchased a house, had a baby that had a disability so medical bills added up, and we had to file chapter 13 about 4 years ago. We purchased our house in the year 2000. Our house is paid off as we more than doubled payments and put extra money we had at the time towards it while we were both working. Our bankruptcy was discharged over 3 years ago. We currently have no credit cards, no auto loans, and no 2nd mortgage or equity loan. The current debts we have are some medical bills with some in collection. Our credit scores are around 590 which I know is very low. We are wanting to get a equity loan or second mortgage to help pay for extensive dental work our son needs and also to get him extra care such as speech and occupational therapy that insurance does not cover. Our house is worth around $135,000 which is paid off. Is it possible to be able to get a home equity loan or second mortgage with such a horrible credit score? My wife is a teacher and I am a union boilermaker now so we do make a decent income. I’m also thinking but do not know for sure that a loan will help improve our credit. Since we have no loans or credit cards I don’t see how we could improve our credit which is one of our main goals. We just want to get back on our feet but has been difficult with all of the money we spend to help our son which is our number one priority. Also, if anyone knows of a certain loan company that would work with us that would be great. Making the monthly payment would not be a problem now that I’m back to work. We have been paying off the medical debt quite quickly now but just do not want anymore to go to collection. So I guess my question boils down to will it be difficult to get a home equity loan for around $20,000 or so with our house being paid off and no other debts with poor credit? Thank you so much for your help in this matter. I just think this could get us back on our feet and improve our credit. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you all for the wonderful replies and links!
Love Presley..Do they accept borrowers with poor credit. In my question I did mention we have poor credit for reasons mentioned above. I have now been back to work for over a year as a union boilermaker and my wife is a teacher so we do have a steady decent income now. We just need a way to help get our medical debts paid and are hoping a loan will help improve our credit since we currently have no loans. My son also needs extensive dental work on top of speech and occupational therapy so are looking for some extra money for that and some to put in savings for emergencies.
Thank you all for being so kind and not judging. I am quite embarrassed for the situation we are in! But my son is number one in my life and will do anything to help him even if it means spending my last penny for that extra speech class! I’m not saying we are bad off, just need a way to get back on our feet and improve our credit and think a equity loan will do it
To Stan C,
Will my local bank be able to help someone with poor credit. It seems they are far and few between. The one thing that I feel will truly help even with a poor credit score is that our house is paid off in full. Estimated value I’m guessing is around $135,000 and we are thinking of trying to get around $25000. I have heard that if your house is paid in full the minimum you can borrow is $50,000. If so I guess I could just put half of that back towards the loan as long as there is no early payoff penalty. Could you please give me your thoughts getting a equity loan with poor credit with our house being paid off in full?
Thank you kindly Sir!

When you are facing severe financial crisis and at the same time having trouble related to bad credit, it is your financial condition that tends to suffer a lot. You tend to loose your financial freedom and further make it difficult for you to avail fresh loans. What if you are in need of a smaller amount and for the same do not want to undertake any risk by pledging collateral? There is nothing to worry, as you can still grab the much needed funds by opting for bad credit unsecured loans.
Bad credit unsecured loans can be availed without pledging collateral. This means that you can derive the funds without undertaking any risk. It is also an ideal option for borrowers such as tenants and non homeowners. Under this option of the loans, a limited amount in the range of £1000-£25000 is released for short repayment tenure of 6months- 10 years. Interest rate pertaining to the loans is slightly higher, since the lenders have taken a huge risk by approving the loans without any collateral.

Even with poor credit, your options for getting a home equity loan are numerous. Home equity loans are different from other types of personal loans. For starters, these loans are secured. Lenders prefer this factor because it’s easy for them to recoup their money if the loan defaults.

Usually only those borrowers who have failed to repay previous obligation due to mismanagement of their finances, loss of employment, sudden illness, etc. are tagged with bad credit score. Amidst of that you find crumbling of your distemper or you might choking in your small kitchen while cooking, or desperately needed a new water connection. For that purpose, you can take out a bad credit home improvement loan.
