Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York
Bad credit person in need of a loan
Due to repossession of his car, my friend now has bad credit and owe ~$8,000. He has no money right now to pay it back. But he wants to take out a loan to start up a business (~$50,000). He basically has no collateral (doesn't own house nor car). What can he do to take out a loan? Thank you.

Hi.
Presuming your friend does have porr credit rating on this basis (might have other favorable things on credit report), he should not get lopan he's requesting without co-guarantee, or similar promise to pay his debt from 3rd party that credtor can count on.
It's really just that simple.
Good luck!
