You can get a $2,000 loan with bad credit by going to a credit union, consumer finance company or online lender; taking out a loan against your home?s equity; borrowing from a family member or friend; getting a payday loan; or pawning some valuables. You could also become an authorized user on the card of someone with good credit and a high limit. Of course, not all of these options are ideal, as there are risks to consider.
