Lower Credit Score Loans

20-01-09 14:19

Defining “less than perfect” credit

Your credit report demonstrates how you have dealt with past credit and how you handle your bills, allowing lenders to assess your level of risk when you apply for credit. So, “less than perfect credit” generally describes a record of past difficulties in keeping up with your credit agreements - any late repayments or no repayments will show on your credit report over time. Each lender will have their own appetite for risk so there may still be a lender out there for your situation.

Can I get a loan if I have a low credit score?

As you probably realise, your chances of being approved for a loan are much higher if you have a reasonable credit score, as lenders are likely to avoid taking larger risks. However, there are options designed for those who don’t have the most perfect credit history. These loans typically have higher interest rates and greater restrictions than other loans, simply because those applicants are considered to be a riskier proposition than those with higher credit scores.

What makes me eligible?

In the UK, to apply for a loan designed for those without the best credit, you must meet a number of criteria. First of all, you’ll need to be a UK resident who is over the age of 18. You must also not be bankrupt, have evidence of a steady income and have access to an active bank account. Remember that with any loan application you will undergo a credit and affordability check, so that the lender can determine whether repayment of the loan would put you into financial difficulties or you’re outside of their risk criteria or not.

Will I need to have a guarantor?

Not necessarily but it could increase your chances of acceptance. If you have less than perfect credit, having a guarantor could help build up your score. It would also give lenders more confidence that you will pay the money back.

What are my other options?

If you don’t have a great credit profile and are unable to use a guarantor, there are other options. You could use a free eligibility checker which will show you what loans you are likely to be offered, without harming your credit score. Also, before applying it would be a good idea to review your report so that you could look to make changes to put you in the best possible position for receiving credit. Using our tool Credit Knowledge* will give you access to your own, detailed credit report. Credit Knowledge will help guide you in making your report more attractive to lenders and indicate to you why you may have been refused credit in the past.

Short Term Loans with SupaLoans

What is a short-term loan?

As the name suggests, a short-term loan is a type of credit that is to be taken out and repaid within a short period of time. Short term is usually seen as anything that is less than 12 months, but the loan term is dependent on the lender. Predominantly, short-term loans are taken out for a period between 3-6 months. If you are looking to borrow credit for longer than 12 months, then you should seek a more suitable loan option such as a personal loan.

Secured Personal Loans

19-12-11 10:44

Life can throw unexpected things our way, and this could involve making a purchase that we are not prepared for. A personal loan can help with covering the cost of anything from a new washing machine to an unforeseen bill. A personal loan can aid you by covering this unexpected cost up front, leaving you able to pay it off monthly in more simple and manageable payments that you otherwise would have.

What is a personal loan?

A personal loan is a type of credit that you can apply for that is for personal use, rather than business or commercial use. A personal loan can be either secured or unsecured. A secured personal loan is one which is secured against an asset of yours that is of value, for example your car or house. Furthermore, an unsecured personal loan is not secured against any assets, but the loan amount you are offered will be dependent on your income and personal circumstances. Generally, personal loans are unsecured, but you may be offered a secured personal loan if you have a poor credit score and credit history. This just provides the lender with some security and reassurance if you were to ever be unable to repay the loan but your asset, (e.g. car or home), may be repossessed if you don’t keep up your repayments.

If accepted, you will receive your personal loan in full, and then you will have arranged to pay it back with interest in instalments over an agreed period of time.

What is a personal loan used for?

A personal loan can be used for a multitude of reasons; whether this be a loan to purchase a new car, to pay some unexpected bills, to carry out some home improvements, or to pay for a wedding. The reasons for use of a personal loan are endless!

How much can I borrow with a personal loan?

As we mentioned before, a personal loan can be either secured or unsecured. Unsecured personal loans are usually for a smaller amount, generally under £25,000. A personal loan will generally need to be secured against your assets when the loan amount required exceeds £25,000.

What are the benefits?

Firstly, you will agree with your lender how much you are able to pay over a set period of time. This enables you to make smaller, more manageable repayments each month, and allows you to budget the rest of your finances. With a personal loan, you may be able to borrow more than you would with a credit card. If your credit card only has a small credit limit and you are looking to borrow more, a personal loan may be an option for you. Also, if you have multiple debts that you are paying off individually, a personal loan is an opportunity to group all of these repayments together into one lump sum. This enables you to pay one amount every month rather than several separate payments. If your loan agreement specified a fixed rate, then you can rest assured that you will be paying the same sum every month and the interest won’t vary.

Things to consider before applying...

Firstly, you need to consider whether a personal loan is the right option for you and if the repayments are something that you can comfortably afford to pay each month. Also, you may be paying a higher interest rate than what is advertised. If you have a less than perfect credit score, lenders may still offer you a loan, but at a higher rate of interest than what their example originally stated. If you would like to check your credit score before you apply for a Personal Loan, Credit Knowledge offers a FREE trial in which you can see a thorough breakdown of your report. Find out more here.

#SupaTips -Credit Report

19-12-10 11:32

What is a credit report?

In simple terms, your credit report is a tool used by lenders to determine if you qualify for credit such as loans,mortgages or similar services. It helps to indicate what kind of borrower you are; if you would be a risk or if you’re likely to manage your repayments. Your credit report contains information such as your personal details, credit account history and public records. When applying for credit, you are giving lenders access to your credit report – this is a part of the application process they use to determine your eligibility. All lenders have different requirements and so they assess your score based on their own criteria. They will set a minimum that you need to reach in order to qualify for your desired amount of credit.

What is a credit score?

All the data on your report contributes to the calculation of your credit score, which is just a number that shows lenders your creditworthiness. Typically, credit scores range from 300 to 850 and the higher your score, the more likely you are to receive credit from lenders. Behind the number itself, there are some main factors that are considered during the decision-making process and therefore it’s important to know what affects your score so that you can stay in control of yours and even make improvements over time.

What is considered a good or average score?

There is no specific number that will guarantee you approval. Also, due to different lenders having different requirements – you could be refused by one company and accepted by another with exactly the same credit score. Also, different credit rating agencies calculate scores in different ways, giving different results.However, most companies view a ‘good’ score as being somewhere between 881 and 960. A ‘fair’ score could be 720 to 880.

How does my credit score affect my ability to receive credit?

Your score, along with the information in your credit report are key ingredients in determining if you are eligible for credit such as loans, credit cards and mortgages. Overall, higher scores reflect a better credit history, making you suitable to receive loans with lower interest rates.
