Your bank would be the best place to start.
Have you got defaults on your credit file from previously?
If so this may affect your chances of getting credit,and a reasonable rate anyway.Old Account RecoveredDebt at LMB April 2009= £14,980Debt free Sometime in November 2013£69k left of 90k Mortgage - Overpaying by £270 a monthCurrent Savings = £13000MSE turned my life around years ago0 -
Yes i have but have cleared down £30K and now i just would like to start again..
Do you know where i can get a bad credit score loan?????:T0 -
Simply put, they don't exist.
And don't be tempted with any communications from brokers promising guaranteedloans etc. You'll just be £70 out of pocket if you do0 -
I suppose it's none of my business, so feel free to ignore me, but having paid off £30,000 debt (well done, you :beer:), why are you so keen to start the cycle again?0

If you can clear 30k in 2 years you should be able to save 7.5k in 6 months. I doubt you will find anything out there to be honest bad credit loans that actually exist seem to come in 2 flavours 1. Guarantor loans, 2. Secured loans. Everything else pretty much some to be "loan brokers" who take a fee and then don't provide anything. If you can actually find a "bad credit" loan company you will be able to answer half the posts on this part of the forum.There's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.0 -

I was just about to ask the same question.Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.0 -
It really depends on what you mean by a bad credit history.
If you have defaults etc then you won't find a loan. If you just have a couple of missed payments several years ago then maybe there are places that would accept you. But you need to explain what is currently on your credit files.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
