Refused a Loan with Bad credit and Personal Debt

Have you been refused a loan due to bad credit or personal debt problems?

  • Refused a personal loan?
  • Are your personal debts causing you to
    have loan applications turned down?
  • Do you understand the reasons why personal loans are refused

It can feel frustrating having personal loans refused. The reasons for being turned down are varied but your current personal debt levels will be crucial in the decision. Professional debt help is a good way to improve the chances of being accepted for a new loan in the future.

  • How?

Debts that are under control or have up to date repayment schedules are better in the eyes of lenders when trying to decide whether to lend or not.

  • You should ask yourself when  borrowing more money whilst in debt, if in fact another loan will really help you?

If you have a history of not meeting your current credit or loan repayments then your prospective lender will see this on your credit report making it less likely for them to be willing to lend to you. Your credit report is available to view online with both Experian and Equifax.

An unsecured loan, unlike a secured loan, doesn’t require you to use any property you might have as collateral or security. An unsecured loan is not normally secured against any property. Because of this, it represents more of a risk to the lender so they tend to apply more stringent criteria to assess applications and often higher interest rates for those who they consider a higher risk. It is, therefore, important that the lender sees evidence that you have a good credit history and are earning enough money to be able to afford the loan repayments, even if your circumstances do change for the worse.

  • An unsecured loan is usually fairly quick to arrange and the money is normally available within 24 to 48 hours of you being accepted.

Most unsecured loans will have a fixed term and fixed interest rates (although the rates themselves do vary hugely). Different lenders offer special terms like payment holidays or free early repayment allowance. There are a huge variety of unsecured loans available so it is important to look around for the best deal, especially to clear debt.

Debt Solutions available if Refused Loans

If you find that you are unable to borrow any money due to being refused loans and other types of bad credit finance, you will at some point consider debt solutions and options that allow you to clear personal debts without increasing further borrowings.

The following is a brief description of the most commonly used solutions to clear personal debt.

  • Informal Debt Management Plans

A Debt Management Plan is a very popular method being used by people in the UK to clear personal debts.  This is because they are informal and allow you to make one monthly repayment to your creditors at an amount and rate that you can afford. 

A debt management company will work out what you can afford to repay and set up a structured repayment plan with your creditors whilst also trying to get the interest and charges frozen or reduced on your outstanding accounts. A debt management plan can go on for as long as it takes to clear your debts and you should be very wary of companies that claim to be able to wipe away your credit cards and loans.

  • IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement

An Iva will clear your debts in 60 months or 5 yearswith an exact end date.  This is a formal agreement between you and your creditors and has to be arranged by an Insolvency Practitioner, a person who is qualified to undertake and manage your 60 month creditor agreement.

Most people who choose to enter an IVA are people who would not be able to clear debts in a reasonable period of time and who usually owe in excess of £25’000.  An IVA should only be considered if your circumstances are serious and it is unlikely that you can repay your unsecured debts in under a 10 year period.

  • Protected Trust Deed (Scotland only)

A Protected Trust Deed is only available in Scotland and is the Scottish equivalent to the IVA in England. the main differences between a Trust Deed and IVA are that a protected Trust Deed only lasts for 36 months or 3 years.

  • Bankruptcy

This is the most severe option and is only undertaken in the most serious of personal circumstances.  Bankruptcy in the UK will clear all unsecured debts that are outstanding and will usually last for 1 year, this is the period of which you are considered to be bankrupt and your bankruptcy is supervised during.

After the 12 month period you will be discharged from your bankruptcy and you will find that you will struggle to obtain credit for up to and including 6 years from being discharged.  Some people do obtain lending after being discharged from bankruptcy but the rates they pay for the finance is usually very high.

An individual would apply to their local county court for a petition for voluntary bankruptcy to start bankruptcy proceedings.  Creditors can start proceedings against you to make you bankrupt and you should respond to any court actions they pursue.

  • Debt Relief Orders

A Debt Relief Order is a new form of debt relief that has been available since April 2009.  This allows people on a reduced or low income with little disposable funds each month to pay an amount back over a 12 month period.  After the 12 months creditors will usually offer to write off the remaining balances.

A debt relief order is for people who can afford less than £50 per month and owe less than £15’000 whilst having no assets that collectively total more than £300.

Information on Bad Credit Loans

Bad credit loans are often a loan of last resort.

If you have been searching for loans online for people with bad credit, you will have learnt by now that not all loan companies are the same.

Some are brokers and some are actual lenders, they both however have one thing in common, they can only propose to lend to a consumer who qualifies for the loan being applied for.

When you are applying for bad credit loans you should accept that rates are going to vary from lender to lender and that no loan company is under any obligation to actually lend you any money!

  • Your approved application is based on the risk you present to the lender for repayment, can you afford the new loan or credit you are applying for?
  • Is there a possibility that if  you have a change in personal circumstances after taking the new bad credit loan that you may default on the new loan and be unable to make your repayments?
  • No one has a crystal ball that allows us to see any problems that may arise in the future, such as loss of job, reduced hours at work or loss of income, family death or even a split from partner or divorce.

When a lender looks at your credit report they will see the outstanding bad credit you have now and have had in the past 6 years.  If you lie to a lender before your application is processed, the chances are high that the lender will catch you out at the point of the credit reference check.

Your personal fnancial information is held by credit reference agencies such as Experian and Equifax, all personal loan companies and lenders use this information to approve or decline bad credit loans and most loan or credit card applications.

  • When bad credit loan companies offer you a loan you should consider all options available to you first!

It may be that you are suffering with multiple bad debt problems and that the existing credit card and loans you may have are the real problem. 

  • Will another bad credit loan really be the solution? 

Are you in a position where another bad credit loan would seem like the way forward but really this is what has got you into this debt trap or cycle of personal debt?  You must break free from this by exploring other debt solutions such as a Debt Management Plan or IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement).

Please accept that once you break the cycle of debt you will be able to see how the credit companies and banks are able to keep you within the strong clutches they have that in turn can make you struggle along to meet repayments every week or month. 

  • It is only when people find that they no longer have a line of credit available or open to them that a debt solution is actually the best route rather than taking on further bad credit loans as originally thought.

If only they could have seen so clearly before the other debt consolidation loans were taken out.  Some poeple even use equity or savings from property to clear outstanding bills, money debt and bad credit with hard earned funds that should ideally remain secure within a mortgaged property to act possibly as a nest egg or future investment.
