It's hard to believe I know, but did you realize that there are agencies within the government that will help you acquire a government grant or loan? Grants and loans can be obtained even with a low credit score which will help to repair your credit history.
Of course to qualify for a loan, you have to follow some specific guidelines. For example, you have to be turned down by two different lending agencies before the government can step in and grant you a loan. To give you an idea, if you need a used car and you are turned down by two distinct used car dealerships, you could qualify for a loan from the government for a car through the appropriate agency.
There are all sorts of government grants and loans available, such as money to help you start a business, grants for a single parent or if you have to care for a foster child. There are grants and loans available to help you pursue a higher education at a university, college or technical schools. Government grants and loans can be a hassle to get because of all of the red tape, but if you qualify often the interest rate is very low so its worth it.
The penalties for missing payments or defaulting on your government loan can be quite ugly, plus the fact that you will never qualify for another one. The government has the right to take money directly out of your bank account or garnish your wages. And that inheritance your grandmother just left you isn't even safe. Just remember to always honor your responsibility when it comes to paying back debt especially to the government. Just remember, you can run but you can't hide, especially from Big Brother if you own the money.
You can seek help from the government by submitting an application for a grant or loan if you're having trouble meeting your financial obligations to creditors. Always keep in mind that if you have a choice between a loan or grant, the grant would be the obvious choice as it's free money and doesn't have to be paid back. However, if you're caught using grant money for something other than you describe, you could be slapped with harsh penalties. You can also be prosecuted and spend time in prison.
In a bad economy where so many are losing jobs and cannot pay their creditors, with new bill passed in Congress there is help out there, if you look hard enough. One resource available offers free or reduced fees for legal aid thats made available throughout the country. The government can offer you advice and even intervene to help you negotiate with your creditors. There are also free credit counseling services for those who qualify.
Housing nd Urban Development or HUD can help in the short term, if you're temporarily having problems paying your rent. If you're a first-time home buyer with credit that's not so great, HUD can also help you buy a house. Even with less than stellar credit you can still borrow up to 500K at low interest to purchase a home, protected under the Home Buyers Bill of Rights.
When the whole world seems to be against you just because you got into a bad situation, there is hope. Contact your lenders and ask them how you can qualify for help acquiring a government loan or grant.
