Need A Secured Loan But Got A Poor Credit History? by Andy Silk

Need a loan? Want to use some of the equity in your home to make it easier? Worried about your poor credit history?

These are common questions asked of a professional loan broker these days. As more and more people look to use the equity they have built up in their home for things that they have wanted to do but didn't have the cash available at the time, loan brokers have adapted their support mechanisms to cater for this growing market.

Since the mid 1980's, consumerism has really taken hold of western society and in the Uk, it's no different. People naturally want to enjoy the good things in life today rather than have to wait as their parents and grandparents often did. The growth in property values has enabled people to use some of the equity that has built up in their properties, to achieve their goals.

The most popular purposes for a secured loan are:-

- debt consolidation

- home improvements

- a new car, motorbike or caravan

- a luxurious holiday to a far off destination

- a wedding

- school fees / university loans

Notice that 'debt consolidation' is the first in the list? This ties in quite nicely with the title of this article since when people consolidate their existing credit, it is often because they find themselves comparatively heavily indebted and want to reduce their monthly outgoings; often saving themselves from having a poor credit history.

As more and more people have borrowed more and more money, they are increasingly likely to fall behind on payments or to even default on their loan. For many unfortunate souls, when made unemployed or following an accident after which they may not have been able to work for a while, they have found it difficult to meet their financial obligations and before long they will have a poor credit history.

What Does This Mean If I Want To Borrow Again?

It's rarely the end of the world however, in financial terms. Since there are a very large number of people who are now in this so-called 'sub-prime' marketplace, lenders and brokers have tailored their existing offerings to cater for them. Even if you have missed a couple of recent payments, it may not now stop you from taking out a secured loan.

You may need to take into account that the lender may regard you as a higher risk to lend to however, which may mean that they will require more equity in your property before they consider your enquiry, they may reduce the amount that they allow you to borrow or they may apply a higher rate of interest. Nevertheless, many thousands of people take out secured loans even though they may have a poor credit rating.

It's a pretty easy thing to enquire about a poor credit secured loan though. There are many online loan brokers who specialise in this type of loan. You could complete an online enquiry form in a matter on seconds and have a decision in principle within minutes. You will still need to complete an application form however and as the loan will be secured on your home. The lender may also require an independent valuation of your property so that they can accurately calculate how much you could borrow against it. They will do all of the hard work for you and the whole process may be completed in a matter of as little as a couple of weeks.

So what are you waiting for? Go on, pamper yourself! A poor credit secured loan may be easier to apply for now than ever.
