Applied for a loan

haxor

Hi,

I've just applied for a loan with admiral.

Unfortunately the APR is almost 4 times the one i was hoping to get.

I've made the application and got approved - where do I stand now? i don't want the loan at this APR.

Should I apply with another company?

Many thanks

If you don't want the loan at that rate, yes.

Use an eligibility checker to make sure you're not randomly applying to unsuitable lenders.

Good morning Zx81,

I've used the Loans Eligibility Calculator on this website - I suppose i'm going to try with Sainsbury's , would you recommend to wait before i apply for another lender ?

Do another application now, then I would leave it for a month or two. Further applications are likely to worsen anything you are offered.

Remember your credit history will play a part in whats offered and maybe the offer from Admiral is the best you can get.

I've applied for tesco bank - a similar APR was offered , so I suppose i need to improve my credit history before applying again :sad:

I will try again in few months

Use the gap to save each month the amount that you would have been paying back on the loan. It!!!8217;ll get you used to the cuts that the loan would mean you have to make anyway, reduce the amount that you can borrow, and maybe make to check whether you want to buy whatever it was you were going to buy. Handing over your own money for something tends to feel very different to just signing for a loan.

I would make further multiple applications to see if you can get the interest rate to around 40%
