As we have previously discussed no this site, the success rate in obtaining a 5000 dollar loan should be very high if you are in the fortunate circumstances that you have a good credit score.  But this leaves a significant minority of the population who have the misfortune to have encountered financial difficulties in their past which has now had its consequential impact on their credit score.  So the question is, where do people with bad credit find a loan for 5000 dollars, and a supplementary question would be that if they can manage to get hold of a 5000 dollar loan what rate of interest will they be charged and will it be too expensive.

Probably the two best sources of loan finance, especially if you do not have a good financial record, or your credit score is struggling below 700 is to approach a credit union, or failing that a private lender.  Credit unions are a good option as they are specifically set up to provide financial services to their members.  This should give you a clue.  Before approaching a credit union for loan finance you need to become a member.  This may entail opening a savings account of some sort and at the very least depositing some money.  It may well not have to be a significant sum, but you should be aware of the likely pre-requisites of these organizations.

Once you have qualified as a member you can then go about applying for loan finance.  Because of the charter under which credit unions are created there is a good chance that the approval rates for loan applications are higher than conventional banks or other lending financial institutions.  So you may well succeed with a credit union where you would otherwise fail.  If you have bad credit then the credit union will almost certainly want to charge a higher rate of interest.  They are pre-disposed to lend to their members but they do not want to suffer financial losses any more than banks and other financial institutions so you will still have to demonstrate some form of fiscal reliability to them.

If you are unable to obtain your loan for 5000 dollars from a credit union then probably your last resort would be a private lender.  A private lender will almost certainly be more expensive the larger financial institutions as the risk the they are taking in lending to you is proportionately higher as the percentage of the borrowed money will represent more of their resources.  They will probably look for some form of security, or potentially request that you get someone of good credit standing to cosign the loan.

And so there it is.  If you are of poor credit standing then getting hold of a loan for 5000 dollars is somewhat more difficult but if you are determine and persevere there is still a good chance that you will be successful.
