A pay-day lending company may be one of the most successful options for people with bad credit. A pay-day loan, also called a cash advance, is given to people without a credit check; no matter how bad your score is, you may still qualify. You can borrow an amount up to $1,500 in most cases, depending on the state that you are living in and the payday laws there, and how much money you earn.

Speak to your employer about the possibility of taking out a private loan with your company. If you work for a smaller company, you may be able to negotiate a private loan that can be payable in installments through your future paychecks. Or, talk to your finance department or the boss of the company to see if you have any other options for borrowing money within the company.

Discuss a loan with a trusted family member or friend who may be in the position to lend you money for a private loan. If it's someone who understands why you have bad credit to begin with, they may be willing to negotiate a deal with you. You should consider drawing up an agreement to confirm any loan that you have agreed on, so that there are no misunderstandings. Having this loan notarized is also a good idea.

A credit union may be willing to offer you a personal loan regardless of your bad credit history. Visit your local credit union branch and ask to speak to a manager about applying for a loan. On the same note, if you belong to a bank, you may be eligible for a personal loan, even with a bad credit score. Just remember that if you do have a bad score, you may end up paying much higher finance charges because you will be considered high risk.
