In summary, bad credit personal loans are generally not a good idea, unless you can get approved for a signature loan. Run for the hills if payday loans are the best option, it's honestly probably smarter to not pay your bills. Payday loans can get you into a world of hurt.
Never take out payday loans or loans from 'Sharks'. These guys are offering something very similar to payday loans in that they will charge insane interest. Never, and I mean NEVER get loans that have interest this high. The absolute ceiling for interest on a loan should be 20% and even 20% is too high for most cases.

Signature Style Personal Loans - Not For Bad Credit
Signature loans are rarely approved for individuals with bad credit. This is simply because credit is the premise for a signature loan in the first place. The nature of signature loans is that there is generally no collateral attached when the loan is taken out. Therefore, a person is simply giving his/her word that the loan will be repaid. Obviously this is too risky for the bank if the person has a reputation for not paying bills and a person with bad credit obviously falls under this category.
If you're looking for a signature loan and you have bad credit, there's only one thing that can be done - find a cosigner. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but any bank that would give a signature loan to a person with bad credit wouldn't be in business for very long.

Stay Away From Bad Credit Personal Loans
This year I have done a ton of research about bad credit personal loans. There is a lot that people don't understand about these loans and honestly I hope that people will dig in to learn a little before they use them too much.
The most common type of bad credit personal loan is the payday loan. If you take out a payday loan, you can expect to pay about $10 for each $100 you borrow - per month. If you figure out how much that compounds over a 1 year period, you'll find that you're paying over 1000% interest and that is a load of interest.
I would highly recommend getting any type of loan you can from the bank itself - even if you have to put down a car or your home as collateral. This will save you thousands on interest and will also help your credit score. Most personal loans don't do this with the exception being signature loans from a bank which are sometime classified as personal loans
