Can I Apply For a Payday Loan in California with Bad Credit and No Credit Checks?
Yes, we are pleased to offer payday loans in California for people with bad credit, provided that you have a stable employment and regular employment so that you can afford to repay your loan on time. We appreciate that when looking for loans for bad credit, it can be tough and can feel like you are always being turned down.
But we work with such a wide range of lenders that we will be able to offer an array of products which are designed to accommodate very poor credit histories, including loans with collateral (such as secured and title), credit cards, credit unions, apps and more.
Whilst we will typically run a credit check for each applicant, it is possible to get loans without credit checks, but you will usually need to be employed and have some valuable assets to back it up, such as a car, vehicle or property which is used as part of the loan agreement. However, we understand that no everyone has a good credit score and we are delighted to offer a number of alternatives that can help you borrow $500, $1,000 or $2,000 today.
What to Consider Before Getting a Payday Loan in CA
You should first check that you meet the eligibility criteria (see above) before you apply. Make sure you consider whether you can afford to meet the repayments on time.
In the case that you are unable to repay your California payday loan, interest and late fees will typically be added and not repaying your loan on time may also affect your credit score. Always consider exactly how much you need to borrow and when you plan on repaying this. Whilst payday loans often last just a few weeks, you can opt for loans repaid over 3,6,12 or 24 months and you may prefer to have this extra breathing space.
