Bouncing back from bad credit
A bad credit loan is for people who’ve hit a few bumps with credit but still need access to finance. Depending on your situation, it could be secured (using something like a car as security) or unsecured. Lenders will still check that you can afford the repayments, and making them on time can actually help you rebuild your credit over time. It’s a realistic option if your credit’s not perfect but you’re ready to move forward.
FAQ
How does credit history affect loan repayments?
Your credit history plays a big role in how much you’ll pay back on a loan. A strong credit history often means access to lower interest rates and better loan terms, which can reduce your overall repayments. On the other hand, if you have a patchy or poor credit history, lenders may charge higher interest rates to offset the risk — which can make repayments more expensive over time.
Can I borrow money with a bad credit score?
Yes, it’s still possible to borrow money with a bad credit score, but your options may be more limited. better finance™ specialises in loans for people with less-than-perfect credit. While the interest rates might be higher and loan terms tighter, having a steady income and meeting basic criteria can help you qualify. It's also a chance to rebuild your credit by making regular, on-time repayments.
What interest rates apply to bad credit loans?
Interest rates for bad credit loans are typically higher than standard loans due to the added risk for lenders. Your rate will depend on factors like your credit score, income, and loan amount. We’ll always aim to match you with the most competitive option available for your situation.
Are there fees with bad credit loans?
Yes, there can be fees such as an Establishment Fee, Introducer Fee, or ongoing account fees. We'll explain all the fees associated with your loan so you know exactly what you're getting.
What are bad credit loans and how do they work?
Bad credit loans are designed for people with a poor or limited credit history. They work like any other personal loan — you borrow a set amount and repay it over time with interest. Lenders assess your income and ability to repay rather than relying solely on your credit score.
