With the recent credit crunch hitting us all, banks are being more scrupulous about who they lend money to especially if you have a bad credit rating but do not be disheartened; there are products available on the market designed for people in a similar position as you. We are specialists in gaining finance for people with a bad credit score or little or no credit history. Some of the products available to you might include:
If you would like a personal loan, you can apply for a bad credit unsecured loan which is where the lender does not rely on your possessions as security for the loan. It is frustrating to try and apply for a personal loan if you are not a homeowner, and some mainstream lenders may have declined you based on this fact. However, bad credit tenant loans are also available for those in rented accommodation or even students who need a financial boost.
The benefit of a payday loan is that the money you need will be added to your account within 48 hours. Payday loans are ideal for people who cannot wait for their next pay cheque, and need some financial short-term help in the mean time.
Even if you have CCJ's, debts or have been bankrupt, specialist credit card deals are obtainable. A bad credit credit card is the same as a normal credit card; what's more, when you use it and pay it off, it will improve your credit rating.
"Bad credit mortgages" were created for those people who have a poor or impaired credit history and have been declined normal mortgages elsewhere. You will still put down a deposit like you would on a normal mortgage and can even choose from fixed, variable or tracker mortgages.
There are many hundreds of products available for bad credit secured loans and they can be catered to your specific financial requirements, regardless of your credit history.
Some specialist lenders will offer Bank Accounts for people with Bad Credit without even conducting a credit check. The account is much like a normal bank account. You can also set up standing orders on the account to help pay for bills or other expenses, all for a small and reasonable monthly fee.
