Personal loan for bad credit.

Ed2194

Hi, I just want to ask if you guys know any Personal Loans I could apply for. I have a very low credit (320 experian) so i have been refused by a couple of Lenders. I dont have any guarantor . Was looking to consolidate my loans 3k in total.

Any ideas?

Do you have any defaults, CCJs, missed or late payments marked on your credit file?
Are you on the Electoral Register?
Have you moved home recently?

Who are your creditors?
How much do you owe to each creditor?
What is your annual income?

Consolidation loans are rarely successful if the reason for the debt is not first addressed. How come you are in debt? Are you struggling to make the payments?

Your score is meaningless. What is the real nature of your bad credit?

As a rule, peope who need to consolidate are high risk and will normally be refused.

Better to visit the DFW boards and start cutting costs.

I doubt anyone will lend to you, because your debts are with PayDay Loans. The fact that you are on repayment plans with two of your creditors will also count against you.


If it were me, I would seriously consider stopping repayments with the three creditors. Just let the accounts be defaulted. Once they are defaulted, the interest and charges should stop. I would then set about repaying the debts with lower monthly payments that are more affordable.

One you have pay day loans which means you couldn’t get credit from normal lenders and two you are struggling to pay that back.

How will you pay the consolidation loan back if you got it.

Get yourself on debt freewannabe board and post a statement of affairs. People will be able to pick out where to save to help you pay your loans off.

Sell stuff, overpay where you can. You wont be able to borrow your way out of this debt.

Can you sell your car and buy a cheaper one?

Its a blessing that you cannot borrow more, as your debt hasn't reached into 5 figures yet.

Companies which gave loans to those with poor credit went out of business some years ago.

The reason? They found out those with poor credit very frequently didn't pay their installments, and said companies went to the wall.

No chance in hell of getting a loan with anything other than a sub-prime lender like Oakham and their four figure interest rates.

You're in a DMP with two of them so any interest will be frozen effectively making those loans now interest free so it would be madness to take out a loan to repay those.

Ultimately unless you've got your gambling problem sorted the only thing getting a consolidation loan will do is dig you a bigger hole because once the money hits the bank then you'll just blow it on gambling.
