A credit without Schufa does not have to be expensive

A credit without Schufa does not have to be expensive

Thanks to low interest rates, more and more Germans are losing their reluctance to take out a loan and are borrowing money, for example for a great vacation trip with the whole family or for a new car. It is usually easy to take out a loan from the bank, but unfortunately not everyone likes to be seen as a borrower. This is especially true for those who have a negative entry in the Schufa, because this entry shows the bank that the customer already has problems with a loan and his credit rating is not the best. If you still want to borrow money, you can do so with a credit without Schufa.

No credit rating, no credit

Banks don't lend money out of pure philanthropy, they want to make money with it. For this to be successful, the customer must be creditworthy and it must be ensured that he can actually fulfill his obligation to pay the installments on time. In order to find out the creditworthiness of the customer, the bank asks Schufa. If the customer has a negative entry, then the bank does not take the risk and rejects the loan application. Who is negatively led with the Schufa, which can try to borrow with friends, or look completely purposefully for a credit free of credit standing. But what does it mean to take out a credit without Schufa and how does this credit differ from all other credits??

Spam texts SMS filter: block texts from specific phone numbers or mark them as spam. [Android] SMS filter: block texts from specific phone numbers or mark them as spam. [Android] More information is stupid. I could have provided a much more detailed introductory sentence, but I think we can all agree here. I've always had a moment like this? "Oh man! A new text message! I wonder who it could be. I don't want this supposed loan to be fake."

Road Construction in the USA – The Racism of Highways and Freeways

Road Construction in the USA - The Racism of Highways and Freeways

Steppenwolf's highway anthem "Born to Be Wild" painted a picture of the American highway and freeway system that still shapes our imagination today: Freedom, vastness, a view that can reach a hundred miles, an endless ribbon of asphalt stretching across America. But – this is not the whole reality..

On many car trips in my old VW bus from Oakland, where I live, to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan – 3.500 kilometers – I was always caught up in this feeling: The horizon opens up. Setting the cruise control to 70 miles per hour, out into the open, letting your mind run wild.

The tech crash shows why I don’t invest with either leverage or credit!

The tech crash shows why I don't invest with either leverage or credit!

I don't invest with leverage or a loan, and I do so with conviction. The current tech crash is for me a good example of why investors should never actually do that. Even Warren Buffett or other star investors like Cathie Wood don't bet on these kinds of things. Whereas the Oracle of Omaha as an entrepreneur has borrowed money anyway of course.

But back to the topic: leverage or credit can make you sweat very quickly. Especially when the markets are once again volatile. Like just now in the Tech-Crash.

Loan for operation

It is no longer just in Hollywood that surgeries are performed daily to enhance the beauty of patients. This trend has also long since arrived in Germany. But while a conventional medically necessary operation is paid for by the health insurance companies, the patient has to pay for all the services of a cosmetic operation himself/herself. This can quickly add up to several thousand euros. Often they ask for a loan for the operation. And this is also possible without further ado.

When to take out a loan for surgery

The range of operations that the health insurance does not cover is very wide. From simple liposuction to a complete facelift, everything is possible. Patients are not primarily interested in such an operation in order to improve their health. Rather, these have aesthetic reasons, which are always in the eye of the beholder.
