The same operator and address as PersonalLoans.com, named in the same FTC action, and it publishes no APR range at all.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 11, 2026.
Our verdict
Try a credit union or a secured card first: BadCreditLoans.com publishes no APR range at all, and its own terms say tribal lenders may claim exemption from state usury caps. Its only rate figure is a single example at 19.9%. It was named in the FTC's January 2022 ITMedia action and shares an operator with PersonalLoans.com, so the two aren't independent options.
Skip it if a credit union or a secured card is open to you, or you want an APR range before applying.

What we like
It is open about the tribal lender risk in its own terms, which many peers are not

Where it falls short
Its rates page publishes no APR range whatsoever. The only figure anywhere is a single example at 19.9%
Its terms state tribal lenders may claim exemption from state licensing and usury caps, and that their rates may be higher than state-licensed lenders
The FTC's January 2022 ITMedia Solutions action named badcreditloans.com specifically; 84% of applications collected since 2016 allegedly went to marketers, debt relief and credit repair sellers rather than lenders
