Lending institutions offer loan products that vary in terms and cost. Ask your lender about upfront costs involved in obtaining a home equity line of credit. Are there annual costs? Balloon payments? Make certain you receive that lowest interest rate possible for your individual situation. Even with adverse credit, if you have built equity in your home by making payments over a number of years, you can apply for a home equity line of credit.

In applying for a payday advance, you will generally supply loan company with your name, address, phone number, employment and checking account information. There is no credit check. You can qualify for a payday advance up to $1000 dollars or more that is to be repaid when you receive your next paycheck or over your next two to three pay periods. Payday advance companies may require you to receive your paycheck through direct deposit, but some allow you to qualify for a payday advance even if you receive a paper check from your employer that you deposit into your checking account.
