| If you have county court judgements
against you, defaults or mortgage arrears then you could find yourself with a
bad credit rating and in difficulty procuring loans. Read more about how your
application will be judged here.
However, every lender has different standards by which they judge applicants,
and today there are such a variety of loan providers that there is bound to be
a lender that will be sympathetic to your financial situation - even if you do
have a bad credit history.Some lenders such as banks or building societies will
stay clear of bad credit loans, but other lenders will judge you on your present
situation and ignore your past credit history. Generally, if you have a bad credit
history 'bad credit loans' come in the form of secured loans from most UK lenders
- unsecured being seen as to high risk. In most cases your property will give
the lender the security they require that is not offered by your credit history.
However, if you are offered loans on the basis of bad credit history, you should
be aware that the terms on which you are offered your loan are likely to be less
favourable than those offered to an applicant with a blemish-free credit record.
Also if you are in this 'bad credit loans' situation then you should take extra
care to read and fully understand the terms and conditions of your loan. You should
expect to pay a higher rate of interest on your loan if you have a bad credit
history, but this doesn't mean that you should accept the first offer you receive.
With a bad credit history especially you should take time to shop around to find
the best deal; don't just grab at the first loan you are offered- you could end
up paying more in the long run. If you can, plan ahead for your application so
you do not feel cornered by pressing financial obligations.
