High interest loans

It is not always easy to find loans for people with low credit rating but there are a few lenders out there who are able to help. If you have a low credit rating you may need to pay a higher interest or borrow a small amount. Fill in our online loan form we will be able to forward you details and circumstances to our lenders.

APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate of charge. You can use it to compare different credit and loan offers. The APR takes into account not just the interest on the loan but also other charges you have to pay, for example, any arrangement fee. All lenders have to tell you what their APR is before you sign an agreement. It will vary from lender to lender. Generally, the lower the APR the better the deal for you, so if you are thinking about borrowing, shop around. Don't forget that sometimes bank loans are cheaper than the credit schemes offered by stores. If you find a deal with a low APR, ask the following questions:

1. Does the interest included in the APR vary, or is the rate fixed? If the rate is variable, your repayments could go up or go down. If the rate is fixed, your repayments will stay the same.
2. Are there any charges that are not included in the APR? This could include something like optional payment protection insurance. If so, make sure you understand what they are and when you would have to pay them.
3. What are the conditions of the loan or credit and do they suit you? For example, do you have a choice about how and where you make the repayments? If you suddenly have spare money, can you pay the loan off early - without penalties?
4. Can you afford the monthly payments? A more expensive loan (with a higher APR) could have lower monthly payments if they are spread out over a longer period of time. That might suit you better if your budget is tight.

Not everyone has a perfect credit score. The result of a less than perfect score is a high interest rate loan. A bad credit score tells the lender that the risk is higher and therefore loans for high risk people have higher interest rates. The higher rate acts as an insurance policy for the lender.

Your credit score is based on your current circumstances and your credit history. Loans for people with bad credit history are harder to arrange because the lender has to be sure the money will be repaid. This often results in a higher loan interest rate. Credit history is important, but black marks on your records to fade over time as you demonstrate trust to the lender.
