Practical tips to help you improve your credit rating and avoid expensive high interest loans
The bad credit loans market is one to be careful of – high fees and interest rates can mean that a poor decision can turn out to be very costly.
To help you make the right decision we summarise here the four main types of personal loans for bad credit:
Bad credit credit cards can be a good option if you do not need to borrow too much and if your missed payments were over a year ago. Whilst they are more expensive than standard credit cards, the bad credit credit card is one of the most cost-effective bad credit personal loan options available.
The doorstep loan is another option for a £100 to £500 loan. Some people are put off by the lenders’ agent coming to their home, but a doorstep is a cheaper loan option than a payday loan, especially if the loan is required for up to a year.
Payday loans have become widely used as they have been heavily advertised; whilst they offer a fast short term loan solution, they are very expensive, and should be taken out with great care.
Everyone has a different situation so we appreciate that there is no one type of loan that will suit everyone.
