Bad Credit Loans – Get A Loan With Bad Credit

A poor credit history generally means that at some point in the past you may have struggled in repaying a loan, credit card or some other form of credit like a store card or an electricity bill for example. By missing such payments people end up with a bad credit score and sometimes a County Court Judgement (CCJ).

Another factor which may also worsen your credit score is applying for too many forms of credit in a short period of time. All these details are unfortunately then held on your credit file, which can then be viewed by any future lenders and consequently influence their decision in lending you money.

What are bad credit loans?

Bad credit loans are a way for you to borrow money even if you have a bad credit history. These loans are designed to help, even if you have struggled in gaining funding in the past, have a bad credit score, or you have no credit score at .

How do bad credit loans work?

When you apply for any type of loan many factors are taken into consideration, including your credit history. Lenders will assess this information to understand the risk associated in lending the money to you, and essentially if you will be able to keep up-to-date with the loan repayments.

How do I get a loan with bad credit?

If you’ve been refused a loan or credit card in the past, or if you have found it difficult to pay money back to lenders, this may give you a bad credit score – but don’t feel alone in your search.

If you feel comfortable in asking a friend or family member to co-sign your loan application and improve your chances of being accepted, then a guarantor loan could be for you. As the guarantor usually has a better credit score than the applicant, the lender then uses the guarantor as a fall-back option if the borrower fails to make the loan repayments. This then instils greater confidence in the lender that they will regain the money. Another benefit to guarantor loans is they usually have lower interest rates when compared to no guarantor loans as the lenders risk is reduced.

Things to consider before applying for a bad credit loan

  • It seems a fantastic idea to approach a lender for a loan, but have you considered asking a friend or family member to lend you the money?
  • It is always good to have an idea about how much you’d like to borrow and how long you’d like to take paying the loan back. You should also bear in mind what your monthly income is and how much you can put aside for repaying the loan.
  • Finally, assess how secure your job is and if you have any health concerns, or other factors that could impact your ability to keep up the repayments.
