Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems. For help, go to moneyhelper.org.uk

When emergencies strike our finances often take a hit and there are many circumstances which can stretch our budgets, from broken appliances to home repairs. However, many of us do not have the cash readily available to cover these unexpected expenses and it can be very difficult to wait until payday. If you have a poor credit history, a high acceptance payday loan could provide the cash you need quickly.

Can I get a payday loan with very bad credit?

Payday loans are designed to be alternative forms of borrowing, often offering small amounts with repayment required in full on your next payday. If you have struggled to obtain credit from traditional lenders in the past, payday lenders may be willing to still offer finance. Although all reputable lenders will consider your credit score when processing your application, there are lenders which may be willing to offer payday loans for people with a bad credit history. All lenders which are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority are required to ensure that loans are affordable, so there are no guarantees that your application will be approved. If you have a poor credit history but can demonstrate a commitment to repaying what's borrowed, effective budgeting and are applying for an amount which is affordable, there is an increased chance your application could be approved.

How to improve my acceptance chances for a payday loan?

If you have a poor credit score this may hinder your ability to obtain traditional high street finance, however, there may be alternative options available to you. The best way to improve your chances of being accepted for a loan is to take the first steps to improve your credit score. This can be achieved by paying bills on time, keeping credit applications to a minimum and registering on the electoral roll. By managing your finances well through careful budgeting, your credit score could gradually improve and your chances of being accepted for a loan may increase. If you are faced with a cash emergency and need to apply for a loan quickly, you may be looking to make an application now rather than improving your credit score first. If you have a poor credit score there are lenders which may be willing to lend to you, however, your chances may improve if you can demonstrate an ability to repay the sums borrowed. By providing accurate details during your application, such as your income, outgoings and employment information, lenders could be more willing to consider your application.

Can a payday loan take you to court?

Although payday loans are designed to provide quick access to cash, it is important to keep up with repayments. One of the main reason’s borrowers fall into arrears with them is the requirement to repay the loan in full on their next payday. In many situations, this is unaffordable and leads to further shortfalls in the following months when eventually repayments are missed. If you fall into arrears, the lender is likely to initially contact you to collect the debt. Eventually, they could use a debt collection agency to collect the debt if the payments remain unpaid. If the debt collection agency is unable to collect the missed payments, they may take legal action with the court in the form of a County Court Junction (CCJ). The missed payments and potential CCJ may also be reported on your credit file, which could damage your credit score and hinder your ability to obtain credit in the future. If you are unable to make your repayment, you should inform the lender as soon as possible. The majority of lenders will allow you to arrange a repayment plan, however, you may be charged late repayment fees and the outstanding balance may be subject to daily interest charges.

How do I find a high acceptance loan?

There are manypayday lenders available, which can make it difficult to find the most competitive loan with the highest chance of acceptance. For example, many lenders claim to offer a high approval rate for those with a poor credit history. However, there are other factors which you should consider, such as the interest rate, repayment terms and whether they are operating responsibly. Instead of rushing into an application, it is advisable to take your time and apply for a loan which is an ideal option for your individual circumstances. Each application you make to a lender will result in a hard check on your credit file, which could have a negative impact on your credit score. If you are already struggling to obtain credit due to a poor credit history, it is advisable to avoid making multiple applications as your score is likely to decrease further.
