Unsecured Loans
Unsecured personal loans are repayable
on a monthly basis at a fixed amount. They are not linked
to any underlying security, such as your home, hence
the use of the term unsecured. The upshot of this is
that the lender will have little option buy to sue you
in the county courts to recover their money in the event
that you fail to repay the loan. Personal Loans are
offered by lending institutions such as banks and building
societies and are available in a variety of formats,
each of which may differ in the possible size, term
and purpose of the loan.
The maximum loan value and length of time over which
the debt is repaid will not be the same for car loans
as for payday loans, for instance.
The amount borrowed usually varies from £500
upwards and is usually repayable over a period of between
6 months and 10 years. Lenders charge interest rates
on the amount borrowed. Their rates can either be fixed
or variable. If the rate is variable, the rate changes
with market forces and could change the amount you repay.
Fixed rates offer more certainty but can be at a higher
rate. As a general guide, it is advisable to compare
the Annual Percentage Rate, (APR) of different lenders.
Personal loans are repayable on a monthly basis at
a fixed amount. However, some lenders offer the option
of over-payments or under-payments that could assist
you depending on your current personal circumstances.
Unsecured loans can be difficult to obtain, particularly
for those with an impaired credit history, who will
be forced to pay a fairly high rate of interest if any
willing lender can be found.
