PO2 Brandon Boucher1085745<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm kind of in a bind, I have a big expense coming up and the money I was counting on won't actually be available until after Jan 1. That is too late. I'm still working on getting my credit back on track since my divorce and as such I've been turned down by traditional banks. Does anyone know of an individual or organization that can help out an expense below $5,000? It can be repaid relatively quickly in the new year.Does anyone know where I can find a lender to do a small, short term personal loan?2015-11-03T16:56:35-05:00PO2 Brandon Boucher1085745<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm kind of in a bind, I have a big expense coming up and the money I was counting on won't actually be available until after Jan 1.
