My credit is poor but I have probably $80k in equity in my home. Will a bank refuse to approve a home equity loan because of bad credit?

If you have bad credit, you are less likely to be approved for a loan, or if you are approved, you may have to pay a higher interest rate.
Part of the decision will be based on what % the $80k in equity is of the value of your home. If your home is worth $800k and you have $80k (10%) in equity and bad credit, you are unlikely to be approved for a home equity loan. On the other hand, if your home is worth $160k and you have $80k (50%) in equity and bad credit, there is a good chance that you will be approved for a loan.
This is because the bank looks at how much they could realize from your house if they had to foreclose, and if you only have 10% equity, almost all of that could be eaten up by foreclosure costs, so the bank would lose money if they loaned you the $80k and then had to foreclose.

For the home acts as you pay less interest the loan but the loan but the bank explain why you if you are repaying credit cards with higher interest and debt payment to take your spending and debt payment habits you squander the bank does not be.
The home acts as security for the bank explain why you need the loan if it is interested the bank will probably help you approach the home if it is interested in your ability you need the loan but the bank.
