What Are Personal Loans Used for?
Personal loans are taken out by an individual and used for personal purposes, as the name suggests. This includes paying off bills, buying a new car, paying school fees, holidays, weddings and more.
Personal loans are typically longer term loans and you usually have several months or years to pay them off. You can use the money to clear your debts or fund a large purchase. You have the flexibility and breathing space to pay it off over time.
This type of loan is not used for short term emergencies (see payday loans) and is better suited to those with good credit scores This allows you to get the best rates possible.
How Can I Get the Best Personal Loans Rates?
Those customers with good credit scores will usually have access to the lowest rates. By having a history of paying off credit cards and loans on time, you would have built up a good credit score. This gives lenders confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and you will be rewarded with a lower rate.
To get a cheaper personal loan, look at improving your credit score by clearing any existing loans or credit cards. Also look at closing down any cards or accounts that you are no longer using. It can be useful to keep a balance on a couple of credit cards. Be careful how much balance you keep and always try to remain at under 30% of your credit limit. This is called your credit utilisation ratio (technical lending term). Go over 30% and lenders start docking credit score points. Keep it between 20-30% and you will appear like the debtor from heaven.
Other eligibility factors that will give you access better rates including having a regular, stable income and homeowner status.
Can I Get Personal Loans for Bad Credit?
Yes, people with bad credit can both apply for and get personal loans. The lenders on our panel appreciate that not everyone can have a perfect credit score. They also expect to see a few missed payments or the occasional default.
Although you may have a poor credit history, if you have made current payments on time for other types of loans or credit cards, the lender will appreciate that you are on the right track and will be able to pay future commitments.
If you have a very poor credit score, the interest rate may be slightly higher and the amount you wish to borrow many be less. This is so the lender can better manage their risk.
