Bad credit loans are offered by many alternative lenders to people who have got bad credit.

These sorts of loans generally carry higher interest since the lender assumes a greater risk but are amongst the only lines of credit that you may qualify for, so if your credit rating isn't the best then you may need to consider these sorts of loans.

Higher interest rates for bad credit

When you're requesting loans from diverse lenders you'll more than likely see that the interest rates can fluctuate a great deal and, for people with bad credit, they will appear to differ much more.

As mentioned, the interest rate you will be offered will depend directly on your credit score. The worse your credit score the higher the interest and vice versa.

Tesco bank can help you get a quick and affordable bad credit loan

A bad credit loan is a loan offered to people with poor or limited credit history.

When a lender considers any loan application they will run a credit check which will reveal your past spending habits and show them how you manage your money and your debts. If you’ve missed mortgage payments or credit card payments then you're credit score is likely to have taken a fall. CCJ’s, IVA’s, and bankruptcy are factors that would cause a collapse of your credit score and thus make it nearly impossible for you to access competitive credit rates with mainstream lenders.

We offer bad credit loans

Tesco Bank does not offer bad credit loans. There are, however, many lenders who provide loans to people with limited or poor credit history. These loans can either be secured (against your home) or unsecured in which case you can usually apply for a maximum amount of £15,000. Taking out a secured loan offers the advantage of a lower APR and is usually much more affordable than an unsecured bad credit loan.

Tesco Bank’s bad credit loan alternatives

In addition to unsecured personal loans and secured or homeowner loans, people with bad or limited credit history can also apply for guarantor loans which are the same as regular loans except for the fact that someone with good credit is willing to be responsible for payment should you default on the loan. If you have a family member that is willing and able to act as a guarantor you may be offered a loan at a more affordable interest rate and you will not risk losing your home such as in the case with a homeowners loan. Debt consolidation loans are also an option that can be more helpful than regular bad credit loans.
