What is a bad credit loan?
It is important to understand what a bad credit loan is. The term is often used by individuals who have had adverse credit issues in the past and who are searching for a new loan. Technically, there is no such thing as a bad credit loan and the term itself does not give any real information about the applicant or their credit history. A loan, no matter the purpose is either unsecured or secured.
