I wasn't sure where else to post this. I am looking for an installment loan to pay off some debt that i owe to a college so I can enroll again. I am also looking to add another trade line to my reports to rebuild credit. I am looking for 2000. My scores are in my signature. I hope to find one that checks transunion as that is my best score. Please advise.

Lending Club, Promise Financial, Upstart and Avant all check TU. All are soft pulls to see if you qualify.
I recently took out a loan with Avant. They soft pull transunion and my score at the time was 630 although TU is my lowest score.
I tired all of them and decline. My FICO is 648 with Transunion. Any other ideas how to get this school paid off? Any student loans that only check FICO?
Do you qualify for membership in any credit unions?

You could check NASA. Not sure what their UW criteria is, but I just got approved for a 15K PLOC. SP for membership app and for PLOC app. 8.25%

What were the decline reasons? For credit or something else?
If I am reading your sig properly, it is going to be difficult to get a sig/personal loan. At least at a rate that makes financial sense. Am I reading correctly you have a BK reporting. Then after the BK, you have between 3-20 collections on each credit report? Are the collections paid? If the collections are from before your BK, be sure to hit up the rebuilding section here to make sure they are coded properly. They should have dropped off by now if they were from before the BK.
The other issue lenders may have is if you have enough income to pay your current obligations. Are you making payments on 2 auto loans and 2 installment loans? I am assuming your student loan is in deferment. Do you have enough income to cover all of your current loans plus the new loan? Will you be able to work as many hours once you start school?
Assuming you don't have a co-signer, I think your best course of action is to get a second job. Pay off your debts / save money. Use the rebuilding section to address any derog's in your credit report. Once your BK falls off (Dec 2017?), look to going back to school. Adding more debt now sounds very risky.
For what it is worth, credit cards are easier to obtain than unsecured personal loans. Many credit cards have a 0% interest rate intro period and/or balance transfer options. I don't know what kind of limits you could get approved for. Moreover, maxing out your credit cards is likely to result in AA from the CCC. If you have a co-signer with good credit/income it would be much easier to get approved.
