Whatever risk people pose to a loans company, there are still possibilities available to borrow some money, so do not give up just because you have a bad credit rating. What does make a difference is the amount of interest you will have to pay. You will get a bad credit rating if you have defaults on repayments, mortgage arrears of county court judgements (CCJs). To lenders, your past history is a flag to your reliability in repaying a loan. Even if the problems you encountered in the past are over now, your past is what’s important. Should they choose to take that risk, they will cover themselves by charging you more interest.

Loan providers use credit checking companies to find out your credit rating when you apply for most financial products such as credit cards for bad credit, but especially loans. Most of Britain’s adult population will feature in these files. Any CCJs or other financial problems will show up on your credit record. Bear in mind also that the credit checking company count people living at your address as relevant to you. The reason for this is that some people have been found to apply for a loan on behalf of someone else at their address with a bad record, then transferring the money to them. So this trick will not work any more! If you have a good record and are living with someone with a bad record, beware that you may find trouble getting approved for any financial products, whatever your relation to them.
