By Jon Edward

UK Credit currently offer the most attractive Representative APR of all our lenders at 39.9%. However, to get this rate your guarantor will need to be a homeowner.

As a comparison (based on Representative APR), if you get a £3,000 loan with UK Credit for 36 months the total sum re-payable is £4,827.60, this is £442.44 less than the same loan from Amigo**.

UK Credit also enjoys over 1,000 positive online reviews on Trustpilot, so are a lender to consider.

** Please note that these figures are based on Representative APR, the rates you are offered may differ depending upon your personal circumstances.

Loan Description

UK Credit offer loans from £1,000 to £10,000 over periods of one to five years depending on whether your guarantor is a tenant or a homeowner. See below our summary of some of the pros, cons and features of their loans:

Pro's

  • Tenant Guarantors accepted
  • Homeowner guarantors accepted which open you up to a better rate and larger loans up to £10,000
  • Do not insist that you set up a Direct Debit. Standing order, bank transfer and cheques are also accepted
  • Can make overpayments up to three times your monthly payment
  • Your partner can be your guarantor, though will need to be able to show that they can independently afford the repayments.
  • Your guarantor can be employed, self-employed or retired, so long as they have a suitable income
  • The loan is unsecured so neither your, nor your guarantor’s, home is at risk.
  • There are no fees to set up the loan

Con's

  • Limit overpayments to up to three times your monthly payment
  • There is an settlement charge for paying off loans early
  • You will need a guarantor who would be able to make your monthly re-payments if you were no longer able
  • Best rate APR's only available to those whose guarantor is a homeowner

The basics

  • You can apply for a loan as long as you are between 16 and 65 years old
  • Your guarantor needs to be between 25 and 65 at the start of the loan
  • There is a cooling off period, as with all loans, so if you or your guarantor change your mind within 14 days of taking out the loan, you can pay back the money and end the agreement.
  • When you apply there will be a ‘soft search’ done on your credit file which will not show up on your credit file.
  • Loan advance is paid to the guarantor, so the guarantor knows the loan has been paid out.
  • You and your guarantor need to be UK residents
  • Due to law differences, you and your guarantor must both either live in Scotland or not.
  • You must be solvent, and not in a debt management plan, IVA, Trust Deed (Scotland), or bankrupt
