What is a secured loan?
A secured loan is where you borrow money and the loan is secured against an asset such as your home or car. This means that should you fail to meet the monthly loan repayments, the lender can seize the asset in order to get their money back.Secured loans tend to be more favourable if you are looking to borrow larger amounts of money. Interest rates tend to be more attractive than if you borrowed the money as an unsecured loan. This is because the lender has a ‘guarantee’ that he will get repaid in the form of your asset.
What is a prime lender?
Prime lenders are suitable for people who have an excellent credit history. Prime lenders typically offer the lowest interest rates and the lowest fees for borrowing, subject to you meeting their criteria. If you have late or missed payments on other credit within the last six years, it is unlikely that you will be accepted by a prime lender. If you do get accepted and your credit history is less than perfect, then you will probably pay a few percent more than your contemporaries with an excellent history.
What is an early redemption penalty?
An early redemption penalty is a financial penalty that you have to pay should you settle lending such as a loan or mortgage early. When looking for credit, it makes sense to check out the early redemption clause. That way you can see how much you could be liable for should you decide to pay off the borrowing before the end of the agreed term.
What is a credit record?
A credit record is basically a record of all the credit you have had in the last six years. It shows how much you have borrowed and whether you have missed any repayments etc. A credit record allows potential lenders to see your financial history so that they can decide whether to lend you money.The data on your file is complied by credit reference agencies such as Equifax and Experian. They use information from public records (e.g. electoral roll information, court judgments etc) and from lenders and financial institutions: e.g. credit accounts, credit applications).
What is a CCJ?
A CCJ actually means County Court Judgement. This is a judgement made in a County Court against someone who is in debt to a third party (an individual or company) or where they have failed to meet the terms of a credit agreement.The Judgement will set an affordable payment plan so that the debtor can repay their debt. CCJ’s are held on public record and will affect the debtor’s chance of getting further credit for up to six years.
