Unsecured Loans[edit]
What are unsecured loans?
Unsecured loan is the term used to describe a loan that is not secured against any assets. A loan that is secured against assets is know as a secured loan and would include loans that are secured against the value of your house or car.
Unsecured loans can be for any amount between £1 and £25,000.
Who can get unsecured loans?
You can apply for an unsecured loan if you are over the age of 18 and not currently bankrupt. You will need to take personal credit history in to account as some unsecured loans are not available to individuals with poor credit history, CCJs or defaults.
Types of unsecured loan – including Unsecured loan for bad credit
There are several different types of unsecured personal loan.
High street loans – high street banks offer unsecured loans for people with good credit history. These are some of the cheapest personal loans
Peer to peer loans – A peer-to-peer loan is where you borrow from a community of people rather than a bank. Peer to peer loans are increasingly popular in the UK and can be a good way to borrow the money you need
Sub-prime loans – These loans are aimed at people who may have had bad credit experiences in the past or have a very limited credit history. Sub prime loans are usually more expensive than high street loans but can be good solutions for people with bad credit
Guarantor loans – loans that require a friend to family member to promise to make the repayments if the borrower cant make the repayments for any reason. Guarantor loans are an increasingly popular way of borrowing for people who have had negative credit experiences in the past and can be a cheaper source of borrowing than many sub prime loans
Credit union loans – Loans that are provided by local credit unions, a good solution for people who have had very bad credit experiences in the past and want to take a longer term approach to getting back on their feet
