  • Is there anyone on here who has had bad credit and gotten an apartment?

    Posted by admin on April 5th, 2009 and filed under Bad Credit | 3 Comments »
    Axel asked:


    I’m just wondering if there is anyone on here who has gotten a good apartment in a complex even with bad credit. I’m taking a teaching job far from my home town, and I need an apartment. However, my credit score is low and I’ve never rented before. Does anyone know if I can offer a bigger deposit or anything like that if my credit doesn’t check out? Any success stories on here?
    I’m not looking for a dumpy place. I’d like something in a complex.

    Anyone know of any really good secured credit card deals for people who have bad credit? I’m looking for one preferably with minimum annual fees.
    Actually I just read what the difference between secured and unsecured is and I really want an unsecured credit card. Is there any that you would suggest?

    least_likely2 asked:


    I want to file jointly because we are going to get more refund. But I heard that if we file jointly creditors can come after my wife because of my bad credit. Is this true? Please note that most of my bad credit was before we were married. I only have a couple items that went in collection after we were married. I can easily pay them off. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    My friend is trying to get an apartment and has not been approved yet. He applied for two different apartments, both of which he was not accepted due to his bad credit. What can a person do to get around this problem. He makes plenty of money, he just has a bad credit history. Does anyone know what he can do short of getting a cosigner?

    am asked:


    I am desperately wanting to purchase a home for me and my children. I have a steady income and the down payment but my credit is in bad condition. We desperately need to move from our area, but the rental amounts are too high. I attempted to acquire a loan through Bank Of America, but was denied due to the credit issue. Does anyone know of any lenders that may specialize in this area? Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated.

    digitalienhead asked:


    The situation seems a little unfair to me. I find myself trying to find a decent job that will pay me enough to meet my monthly obligations and make some headway in cleaning up my credit. The problem is that those jobs tend to disqualify applicants with bad credit. I’m not sure what to do about it. Can anyone offer any advice?

    Hi. My wife and I both have terrible credit, and are looking for a credit card with rewards such as cash back or sky miles. We use our visa cards that are tied into our checking accounts so much that it is a waste to not get rewards, but it is hard to get rewards with bad credit. Any advise?
