First of all, do you really need that 5000 cash overnight? If so, then your costs for getting the loan will be higher so just make sure this is the case. If it is, then you need to figure out how long you are going to need this money. Many times people fall into a debt trap because they take out a short-term loan to fund a long-term commitment. This is a problem with matching the duration of your needs with the duration of the funding – if you need money for longer term then do not take out a short term loan.
Short-Term Funding Options for a 5000 Loan:
If you need 5000 for the short-term (short-term being defined as less than one year) then you have three main options: 1) Cash Advance from your credit card, 2) Title Loan, and 3) Payday Loan. Each of these options carries costs and risks that are higher than traditional loans, which is why you do not want to use them for long-term funding obligations. Examples of what you would need this short-term funding for would include a car breaking down that is your sole means of transportation, or a medical problem that must be paid for now in order to get the procedure needed done.
It’s important that you make sure you find the right funding for your short-term need. For this you need to look at your credit and again at the duration for which you will need the money, and then match your needs with the type of loan available/best for you. Below is a brief outline of each of the three types of immediate cash loans:
Cash advance from a credit card – This is your best option if you need the money for longer than one month, but less than one year. The reason it is the best is because the cost (at between 10% and 25% usually) is much less than the other two options. However, if you are looking for a 5000 loan with bad credit and do not already have your credit card then this is probably not going to be an option as you will have a credit check to get the card. Bottom line – if you can get it, then this is your best option, but it obviously requires that you have a card and that the card has $5000 available on it.
Title Loan – These loans are possible if you have bad credit, need 5000 dollar loan, and have equity in your car (to find the equity value take the car’s current value and subtract out what you owe on the car). However, these loans are not cheap – average costs can be around 200 – 300% APR), and as such you should not use these loans for longer than one month as a quick fix for an emergency.
Payday Loans – These loans are very similar to title loans, with a few exceptions. They are available to people with bad credit and they are very quick (even 1 hour payday loans are available). However, the most common financing amount from a payday lender is around a 1000 loan, and it can be somewhat difficult to find such a lender who will make a loan for 5000. In addition, the costs are higher, averaging around 450% APR – so you really need to be careful with these loans and by no means take one out if you can’t pay back the $5k withing a few weeks.
Bottom Line – If you need a 5000 loan fast (either today or overnight) then you need to be careful. Obviously none of these loans are cheap, and for a good reason – not many lenders would give cheap money that quickly (especially if you have bad credit). So, make sure you can afford the financing and that you really do need the money before taking out the loan.
I needed only 3000 but 5000 will put me over the top. what every you ask of me I will do thank you
Mattie,
If all you really absolutely need to get by is a 3000 loan then start with that amount – don’t go with a 5000 loan. Most of the time when people take out a loan for more money than they need they end up spending the cash in ways they shouldn’t, which just makes their credit situation worse. While this might not be your case, it’s almost always better to borrow only what you need.
Do you need a loan of any kind? We give out loans to all parts of the world, our offer is convenient with affordable repayment scheme. Interest rate is 3% annually with a maximum duration of 50 years. Apply now irrespective of your credit status. Contact us at (edited.com).
Readers – please, please, please — NEVER respond to anyone who leaves comments like this on websites (Note – I edited the person’s email out, but they had left their contact info). First of all, no one offers loans at 3% annually for 50 years (no one even offers loans for 50 years to anyone, especially to someone who is looking to take out a small 5000 loan). Basically, these people are just trying to scam you.
I’m in need of 5,ooo dollars right away and I will pay this loan back as iam instructed to do I just need help at this present time so I’m hoping you are able to help.
I am looking for a $5000 loan to payoff the payday loans that I have. I will be able to make atleast a $200 per month payment on the loan, but I can’t find anyone who will lend to me because my credit score is below 600.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you

I pray we all become dept free, are honest and free giving. thanks
Tommie,
First of all – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!
Next, what do you need the loan for?
I need a loan for $4,000. my credit score is right around 600 (I think like 620 on one and 580 on the other. Ive checked my credit and ALL that is on there are my student loans, which I defaulted and am currently with direct loans starting to pay them back now. I have never even owned a credit card or anything, but at 32 years old , I finally need some help. I am starting to get very behind on numerous bills and my daughter also is breaking the bank on me recently with some medical things. 4,000 will clear me up 100% to where I need to be. I make decent money (50K) but i really need to pay this loan off slowly rather than large chunks, as strung out as possible and to be 100% honest I do not care if the interest rate is high, but my month to month expenses wont leave me too much to fork out per month, I could EASILY swing $75 or less per month, could likely do $75-$125 , anything over i could do but would start strapping me again. so $125 or less per month would be perfect. Please Help.
FS, if your credit score is above 620 I would recommend you try to take out your sub $5,000 loan from prosper.com or another peer to peer lending community, or your local credit union. Either option will allow you to pay the loan of slowly (i.e. not in 15 days like a payday loan).
