Good Use For Unsecured Lines Of Credit

Article by Anthony Griswold

Copyright (c) 2008 Anthony Griswold

A lot of borrowers use cash for renovations, vacations, school, or other financial needs turn to equity lines of credit or other types of secured credit lines. These types of lines of credit are popular and relatively easy to obtain, but what if you do not have any equity or own a home to borrow against? If you find yourself in need of a line of credit but do not have any assets for collateral, or do not want to risk the assets you do have, and unsecured line of credit is another option for you.

An unsecured line of credit gives you the cash you need in the timeframe you need just like any other line of credit. Your credit line is based on an amount determined by your credit history, repayment ability, and income and you can use all or part of it as the need arises. The only difference between an unsecured line of credit and a secured one is that you do not have to put up any collateral but will have to pay a higher interest rate.

In order to qualify for an unsecured line of credit you will have to prove that you will be able to repay up to the full amount of the credit line in monthly payments. Your lender will analyze your debt to income level, your credit score and history, your employment history, and may want proof of income and job. If you have a responsible credit history and can afford the monthly payments on the credit line you will probably qualify.

An unsecured line of credit is right for you if you need a credit line but do not have assets to use as collateral. Be careful, however, because it will take more research to find the best deal as they carry higher interest rates than secured credit lines. Talk to the banks in your city to see what the going rate of interest is locally and how much you qualify to be approved for.

National lenders will often have some of the best rates so it is always a good idea to look online for national lender rates. If you cannot find a bank willing to give you an unsecured line of credit you can usually qualify for a credit card, but using a credit card for your cash needs can be risky as many have fees and very high interest. Look into all your options so that you can get the best deal possible on your credit line.

Bank Run ~ (With a Twist)

Image by Roads Less Traveled Photography

Why are so many people lined up outside this bank? HINT: It has nothing to do with a free toaster. No, this is a good old (bad old?) Bank Run.

So, what happened? During the Financial Crises of 2008, many banks here where hit hard. Not that big a surprise to me, because when I saw numerous banks promising interest rates on deposits over 20%, it rang alarm bells for me. But for people over here, after the fall of the USSR, the associated financial turmoil that ensued, and years of financial mismanagement and hyperinflation, many over here might see this and think "Wow! I really love capitalism!" So, this has many singing a different tune now.

So, what’s the twist here? Although all these people are trying to get their money from this bank, they are limited to 150 hriven a day. That’s about .80 a day, or 13.15 euro. So people return, day after day to withdraw what they can while they can.

The government is promising that all depositors will be repaid in full. However, there are problems with that. In the summer of 2008, the government at that time resumed payments to people who lost money when the Soviet banking system collapsed with the fall of the USSR, 17 years before. Those payments made the Financial Crises of 2008 more severe for the government, leading to having to take loans from the European Development Bank and the World Bank. This also led to the end of the more democratic government and a return to a more authoritarian government.
