Getting a guaranteed bad credit personal loan is not so difficult now that the internet gives us access to so many more companies than we had in the past. Before the internet, somebody living in a small town might not have much option but the banks, and banks are very conservative when it comes to lending money. They do not like to lend to anybody with a bad credit history.

Online, many companies advertise loans specifically for people with a bad credit history or low credit score. This usually means that you or somebody in your close family had trouble paying back a loan in the past, or have outstanding debts, or something similar. Sometimes these low credit score loans are guaranteed.

If you have a low credit score for any reason you will probably have to pay a higher rate of interest on your loan than a person with a better rating would pay. This is because the lender considers there is a higher risk that you will not pay. The higher interest rates are a kind of insurance for them against the trouble they will have in getting the money back from anybody who cannot repay.
