Here at Clever Loans we have partnered with lenders who consider lending to those with a less than perfect credit rating. If you are looking for loans for bad credit, we can arrange loans of between £100 and £5,000.

Why do I have a Bad Credit history?

The term ‘bad credit’ tends to be used to describe an individual’s credit score, with a low score representing a poor credit history. Lenders do not offer specific bad credit loans, instead they offer loans which are available to those with a less than ideal credit score.

If you have found it difficult to make repayments on loans, credit cards and bills in the past, this can negatively impact your credit score. In addition, if you have previously been refused for a credit card or loan, the search will be recorded on your credit file, which could have a negative impact. A lower credit score and negative marks on your credit file, will affect your credit score.

What are bad credit loans?

If you are finding it difficult to obtain credit, there are a variety of lenders who consider bad credit applicants. There are many popular uses for poor credit loans, such as purchasing a car, consolidating debts, home improvements and holidays.
