Most Popular Bad Credit Lenders in Ontario

December 3, 2014 By Samantha 36 Comments

Many bad credit loan providers in Ontario, Canada offer financing to individuals with tarnished credit. They offer payday loans, home equity lines of credit, and other types of financing.

Bad Credit Lenders in Toronto and the GTA

Tribecca is a private provider that offers loans to help repair and establish credit, pay medical and unexpected expenses, and consolidate bills. Prudent Financial offers home, consumer, and car loans to customers with tarnished credit. If you are trying to find bad credit loans in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and the rest of the GTA, Addison Credit offers financing to debtors with poor credit, newcomers to Canada, and borrowers with a history of repossessions, bankruptcies, and other negative events. If you live in Mississauga or Brampton, Dixie Auto Loans, Easy Financial, and Home Trust also provide loans for people with bad credit. To get approved, customers fill in employment and personal information such as months at employer, gross annual income, and position. Borrowers who filed for bankruptcy or are in undischarged or discharged consumer proposal often qualify.

Where to Find Bad Credit Loans in Ottawa

Customers looking to apply for a car loan in Ottawa can do so at Drive Time Ottawa, Easy Financial, and BHM Financial Group. Lenders take into account factors such as term of residency, length of employment, stable income, and income level. To apply, customers present information such as proof of vehicle ownership, proof of residency and income, and ID. References increase your chances of getting approved.

Lenders in Hamilton for Individuals with Poor Credit

Fitzgerald Motors, Prudent Value Cars, and Ezee Credit offer financing to customers. To apply, clients provide information about their income, occupation, marital status, housing cost, and address. Residents who are employed full-time usually get approved. Customers with a history of credit counseling, consumer proposals, and bankruptcies usually qualify.

Unsecured Loan Lenders in London, Windsor and South Western Ontario

Issuers such as Ezee Credit and Prime Motors of London provide loans to customers who are new divorcees, borrowers poor or no credit exposure, and bankruptcies. To apply, customers provide information such as occupation, main source of income, income before tax, SIN, and others. Companies such as DollarsDirect and Strickland’s offer loans to individuals with less than perfect credit in Windsor. Applicants with missed card payments, multiple collections, no credit, closed accounts, and missed payments are not turned down at DollarsDirect.

Who Offers Bad Credit Loans

LOC1

Try Banks

Banks offer loans to customers with poor credit history but they usually qualify for secured financing such as home equity lines of credit and home equity loans. Canadian lenders offer rate quotes based on information such as the amount required, credit score, and loan purpose, for example, medical expenses, relocation and moving, car financing, home purchase, home improvement, or credit card refinancing. When applying for loans, customers provide information such as additional and individual income, date of birth, and address. Individuals with stable employment have a better chance of getting approved. Those who offer collateral are more likely to get a loan with bad credit.

Credit Unions

Credit Unions help people with bad credit and offer low-cost financing to their members. The best options are community-based and employer-affiliated unions that operate as community banks and are owned by their members. They are willing to discuss their customers’ personal and financial situation. Credit unions look at customers more personally and are more willing to work with them. They make a decision on whether to lend or not based on the borrowers’ promise to repay and their individual circumstances.

Go Online to Search for Bad Credit Lenders

Another option is to check places like the yellow pages and kijiji. Online bad credit lenders list their ads and advertise loans for bad and no credit. You will find cash advance and payday loan listings, credit and debt counseling services, and other loan providers. There is an option to sort by location and category to find providers that offer bad credit auto loans, consumer loans, and other financing options.LOC4

Use Debt Consolidation Lenders and Services

Debt consolidation is another option for individuals who are looking for financing. Lenders and services offer consolidation loans to borrowers with multiple revolving and installment debts but the rate can be higher if you have tarnished credit. There are many benefits to debt consolidation, and issuers advertise no hidden fees, no prepayment penalties, flexible payment schedules, and competitive rates. Other benefits include easier budgeting, no collection calls, and credit score improvement if payments are made on a regular basis. The loan amount varies but some providers offer up to $35,000. Issuers usually offer several consolidation options with different rates, fees, and payment terms. Some issuers offer terms of 1 to 5 years so that customers get rid of debt faster and save on interest. Lenders offer the option to consolidate loans, overdrafts, credit card accounts, and other balances. While debt consolidation companies offer loans to individuals with tarnished credit, they usually require proof of income such as pension or salary.

Try Payday Loan Lenders

Payday lenders are considered a last resort because they provide loans with short terms and extremely high rates. At the same time, this is often the only choice for people who are short of cash and face an emergency. Payday lenders offer other benefits such as quick approval, easy application, and less stringent requirements compared to brick-and-mortar banks. Just avoid controversial providers that charge broker fees. There are con artists that use fraudulent websites and request details such as credit card numbers and identification. They make unauthorized withdrawals, and customers find their account emptied. Other than that, there are reputable payday lenders that offer emergency cash. The money can be used to pay bills, utility bills, groceries, credit card balances, fees and charges, and other expenses.

Other Providers

Loan brokers and providers such as MoneyMart, Lending Tree, Prosper, Lending Club, and Citifinancial also offer bad credit personal loans in Canada. Customers with consumer proposals, history of poor credit, and loans in arrears qualify.

    I was wondering what is the difference between a payday loan and a bad credit loan. Are those 2 the same thing?

      No they are not. A payday loan is a form of short-term financing repaid when the customer gets his next paycheck. Consumers are asked to write a post-dated check as a guarantee of timely repayment. The interest rates are high and the terms vary from 2 weeks to 2 months. The loan amounts vary from $500 to $1,500.

      Bad credit loans are 2 types – secured and unsecured. The loan amounts are greater from $500 to $10,000. These types of loans are usually harder to get. I explain in detail here: https://www.lifeoncredit.ca/bad-credit-personal-loans-in-canada/

    Hi John,

    25,000 is not a small amount and it won’t be very easy to qualify for a personal loan. I would suggest to try your bank first, before you go to any other personal loan lenders.

    Hi I am trying to get a Start up Business loan of $20000 to by a vehicle and start up Capital.
    Tried my Bank and do to my Consumer Proposal they said NO.
    Even with the Government Loan guaranty they denied me. I have a $11500 locked retirement fund created by WSIB. Many companies have approached to start right a way to work for them but I do not have the proper equipment. It is sad that you want to work and very hard to find Lenders even with all the programs out there.

    If you know anybody…

    Hello,

    I am unsure exactly what my credit score is, but I do have both a visa and Mastercard in good standing. My student loan from osap is around 40,000 (recent graduate) and the limits on my credit cards are 500 and 2500 respectively. With my current job I only make about 30,000 per year.
    My idea is to live simply and minimalistically via purchasing a mobile home in the price range of 30,000-50,000 and have it situated in a location costing 520 per month. I am currently living with my parents to save up, but I found out from the bank that mortgages only apply to mobile homes less than 15 years in age.
    My plan is that purchasing a mobile home is a smarter course of action than spending 800 on rent per month for an apartment. Any recommendations on where I could find some financing for this plan?

    Jason

    I did some researdch online for (Bad Credit Lenders in Quebec) and did find any. Most of the cie in other provinces in Canada do no offer their service to Quebec resident is there a reason why? and also do you have suggestion… I was looking for consolidation loan but my credit is really poor ( 530-590)

      The reason you can’t find any lenders in Quebec is because they made high interest loans illegal, and since private lenders want to screw you over with disgustingly high interest rates, they all pulled out of Quebec.

      Hoping the rest of the world follows suit. These vultures need to be destroyed.
