Bad credit–need personal loan–will my bank foot it?
ByI am 25 yrs. old and looking to take out a 6,500 dollar loan. I have poor credit and can’t seem to get this loan anywhere through online. However, I earn 1600 dollars per month with secure job and would be able to pay off the loan no problem. Is it possible that by me going in and speaking with a representative, my bank could foot me the loan? My only other collateral is a 401k which is less than 500 dollars so far because it just started the beginning of last January (07′).

You won’t know until you try. Go and try to talk to a loan represenative with your bank.

Banks usually do not make personal loans. They especially do not make “unsecured” personal loans to people with bad credit.

A bank will not give you a loan without collateral (like a CD, car, or home). Banks almost never lend unsecured–the only exception would be if you have great credit, are a valued business customer, and had lots of current business with the bank. Even then it would be a huge exception to bank policy and many banks won’t ever consider it.
Retirement plans don’t count as collateral (even if they did you could only borrow around 80% of the value).
Banks are much more conservative than other lenders–like credit card companies, car dealers and retailers. They are the lender of first resort, not last. If you can’t get what you want elsewhere, you’re probably not going to have much luck at a bank.
