One especially troubling form of consumer debt comes from lenders exploiting borrowers who don’t understand that the loan terms they’re agreeing to are extremely harmful. Knowing about the dangers of predatory loans and practices of certain lenders is critical to protecting yourself from financial disaster.
The most dangerous loans available are those that target high-risk borrowers. Anyone with an urgent need for cash, with bad or no credit, or looking for quick debt solutions, is susceptible to deception. Here are a few specific loan types to avoid.
As a rule of thumb, avoid short-term borrowing by any means necessary. Use a financial planning worksheet to help design a monthly budget and establish an emergency fund that can reduce the need for these dangerous loan products.
When considering other forms of loans, whether a mortgage loan or a credit consolidation loan, be sure you understand all of the loan terms and remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Avoid loan offers from telemarketers, mailers, or anyone guaranteeing approval. Don’t let high-pressure sales tactics trick you into signing anything before you’re ready. It’s never a bad idea to have a trustworthy legal professional look over any long-term loan you’re interested in. Finally, shop around on your own for a product that is appropriate to your financial situation and serviced by a reputable lender.
Being aware of predatory practices and thoroughly researching any potential lenders will save you from unnecessary strife down the road. If things get tough, seek assistance or debt management counseling before rushing into a risky loan.
