Personal Loans for Bad Credit - Where are Rates Going in September 2009?

Personal loans for bad credit are a financial tool that many hard working Americans shy away from because of the interest that is assessed to many of these loans.  Many borrowers feel that anything in excess of 15% is just not worth it as they will end up paying so much interest in the long run that they will waste have of the loans value.  This may be true, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.

If you are in a situation where bills are stacking up and you have no other income coming in, there are very few options other than getting a personal loan.  Unfortunately the economy is not cooperating with anyone who is struggling financially so we are all having to do what it takes to make ends meet.  Sometimes we are going to have to get a high interest loan to help pay off bills and keep a roof over our heads.

Luckily, President Obama has made it a point to  keep interest rates at historically low levels.  The overnight Fed Funds Rate has been basically zero for quite some time and it does not look to be changing any time soon.  With the Fed Funds Rate at zero, it makes it much easier for banks and lending institutions to loan to borrowers at extremely low interest rates.  You should do your best to take advantage of this time because you never know when it will end.  To top it off, mortgage rates are extremely low as well so refinancing might also be an option for you.
