Where can I find a personal debt consolidation loan for people with bad credit?

margarett kitts asked:


I am in dire need of a debt consolidation loan and I have bad credit. I can make things work with $5000, but I do not know where to start. I have seen people with yahoo addresses claiming they can loan money but they sound fishy as it is not a company email, their emails always seem to be yahoo. Any info will help. I fell on hard times and am now able to pay my monthly bills but I cant seem to catch up what I fell behind on. PLEASE help asap. I have a 5yr old and I do not want him to suffer us loosing our home or car.

Someone help me figure out what I can do to earn some cash for my college upkeep.Please?

Kelvin K asked:


I am a 20 old Kenyan male. I live in Nairobi where I attend University. I am in my first year of Commerce. My problem is that I cannot afford much of what I need like decent meal daily. The government pays half my fees(loan) I appreciate but then I would like to improve myself. Be able to buy text books etc.I have exhausted all possible options like busary,scholarships etc. locally. Jobs are seldom here.I wonder if there is stuff I can do online or wherever to earn me like 50-100US$ monthly. I know I have asked this question many times here but bear with me. I am hurting. If anyone knows of something help me please. Places I can apply for help online,jobs online etc.

What do you think about Sallie Mae?

I went online to pay a parent plus loan a day early of the due date and their software says it takes two to four days to process the e-payment. In order to even pay online you have to agree to getting all your statements via online. It like credit card companies who sit on a check until the due date is past to cash it, seems to me. What do you think?

Can I still take out federal stafford loan under the interest rate’s before the July 1st increase?

bokimble asked:


I tried taking out federal stafford student loans for the upcoming fall semester. I sent in my request in late May to secure the interest rates prior to the July 1st increase. I was told that my interest rate would be at the increased 6.8% fixed rate because my loans were disbursed no earlier than 10 days before my program starts.

What rule is this and is there any way to work around it so I could get the 5.3% rate, after all it is not July 1st yet?
