What are Bad Credit Loans?

A bad credit loan is another name for a personal loan that is suitable for customers who have what is considered to be a bad credit score or poor credit history.

A credit score is a three-digit number calculated based on your credit report and is used by lenders to determine if an individual is eligible for credit. It can be affected by a number of factors such as missing or late payments, borrowing history, previous credit applications and public court records which record County Court Judgements (CCJs) or past bankruptcy.

People with a poor or bad credit rating may struggle to find a suitable loan, but by applying for a bad credit loan with a direct lender like Progressive Money could mean you find the loan you’re looking for, as we look don’t make our decision to lend based solely on your credit score or history. We look at a range of information and take time to understand individual’s current circumstances so we may offer a bad credit loan to those who have missed payments in the past or have had previous financial difficulties.

To view your credit file, you can contact one of the three main credit reference agencies (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion) so you know what your credit rating is. If your credit score needs improvement there are some things you can do to demonstrate good financial behaviour to lenders. Paying your bills on time, registering on the electoral register and getting your name off any old billing accounts you shared with ex-housemates or former partners may all contribute to improving your score.
