How to identify a legitimate personal loan

Personal loan question:

I did receive a question today from someone, who was wondering how to seperate a legitimate personal loan from a scam. Here are some tips that can help:
  • Don't believe the promises that are too good to be true, like "you'll get a personal loan, guaranteed, even if you have no credit or bad credit".

  • It is against the law for telemarketers to ask for payment in advance, while claiming to guarantee a personal loan, or implying that there is a strong chance of one.

  • While there is no similar law for loan offers on the Internet, no legitimate lenders, online or offline, will guarantee a loan before you have even submitted your application;

  • Morgage lenders may ask for payment for a credit report or appraisal, but legitimate lenders won't ask you to pay anything upfront for personal loans.
The above tips should help you, but if you are (still) in doubt about your personal loan, get advice free or at a very low fee from your local Consumer Credit Counseling Service .
