Personal loans within one’s limits - August 18, 2008
Personal loans can be an ideal financier if the need is really pressing, and the money that is borrowed can be repaid within one’s limits. No loan is harmless unless it is over done or gotten by faking false information. Personal loans of the secured type or the unsecured type are equally useful and beneficial provided they are not abused. Loans are abused than used these days. People are borrowing money for everything and all. The concept of responsible borrowing is simply not there. Before they realize what responsible borrowing is, they are already in the deepest credit burrow.
When someone is making personal loans they do not have any kind of loans normally or the banks are cautious enough to not lend any money to the borrower beyond what they can manage. The banks are very calculative and are statistically informed about the amount of repayment an average individual can manage. It is for this reason that sometimes banks do not agree over a 2 year repayment and they insist on a 3 or 4 year repayment. Most feel that the banks are trying to make some extra income by extending the repayment time. But truly the banks have an internal calculation system that has been repeatedly proven to be successful about the repayment capacity of the applicant.
When one applies for the personal loans the banks do ask for details about the availability of refrigerator, computer, car, own home, insurance, other loans and all such details. They compare the expenditure factor against the income portfolio of a person after which they arrive at an amount that the person will be able to allot for repayment and based on the affordability figure they arrive at the amount of money to be sanctioned and the amount of money that can be easily afforded by the borrower in EMI for a said period of years.
We might believe that a $1000 repayment for personal loans is fair and we might prefer a 2 year repayment. But the banks will consider other intermediate expenses that one might possibly gather like spending the whole of the limit on their credit card, some sudden medical expenses and sorts and they arrive at a comparatively easily manageable repayment. Normally banks tend to make the EMI for 50% of our true repayment capability. So that even if the borrower is going to gather insurmountable bills, the 50% affordability estimate of EMI can be still managed! The bank makes correct calculation always.
