Loans for unemployed people may seem hard to come by, but luckily many options have recently become available.  With the downturn in the economy and so many people out of work, the payday cash advance companies had to figure out a way to keep lending money without people having a job, so many of them now give loans to unemployed people.  What this means for you is that there is fast cash available when it’s needed.

If you have paid your car off, you may qualify for an auto equity loan through Helping Loans. They work in many states, so it’s probably worth checking out.

Unsecured Loans For Unemployed

As I said above, many payday lenders are turning to the unemployed for a new stream of customers who are in need of getting fast cash.  These fast loans for unemployed aren’t exactly common, but they do exist. The major obstacle for you is that you’ll need to be on unemployment or receive some other sort of monetary benefits.  This acts as your “paycheck” for the payday lenders.  The biggest benefit of these loans is that they are no credit check loans, so those with bad credit can apply without worrying.  I know the feeling of having poor credit and no job, it’s miserable but luckily for you there’s help!

If you aren’t receiving any sort of monetary benefits, there are other loans available.  Many traditional lenders have a department that deals with unemployed loans.  They offer loans on good faith and base the amount of what they believe your ability to pay it back is going to be.  Some of the things that they look at are job history and credit score, but many will lend even if you have bad credit.  One unsecured lender in the UK offers no credit check personal loans for unemployed, but charges an extremely high interest rate on these loans.  I firmly believe that if you look hard enough, money can be borrowed in just about any situation that you may be in, good credit or not!

Secured Loans For Unemployed

If you’re a homeowner you probably already know that you can get a secured unemployed loan with the equity in your house, so I’m not going to elaborate on that.  For the rest of us, there are a few other options.

The most common type of secured unemployed loan is the auto title loan.  Pink slip loans are very simple, you put your car up as collateral and they loan you money based on its value.  The necessary ingredients for an automobile title loan are having a paid off car, proof of who you are, the title to your ride, and an extra key.  There is no credit check involved, and most title lenders will deal with the unemployed.  This is the most guaranteed way to get cash fast when you don’t have a job.

If you’re still making payments on your car, you have the option to refinance your auto loan.  This will extend your car payments, but get you a lower monthly payment and you’ll be able to borrow from the equity in the car.  Finding a company to to the refinance can be tricky, but you’re out of work and have plenty of time!!

These types of loans weren’t as readily available when I could have used them as they are now.  Which is very unfortunate since when I was between jobs I nearly had to move out on to the street since I didn’t have any money.  I made it through, and you will to, but there are times when you simply need fast cash!
