I am in a tough situation at the moment. I need around a $3,000 loan. My credit is pretty crappy due to the fact I was out of work for 6 months taking care of my Father who got ill. I am now back to work, but getting out of the hole is a slow process. I really just need this loan to get by till the money starts flowing in for me. I will pay it off pretty quick. My question is where the best place to turn to? I tried propser.com, but they and lending tree dont currently serve people in the state of Maine. I also don't want to do a pay day loan. any advice on where to go would be appreciated.
