What are payday loans for bad credit?

What are payday loans for bad credit

Payday loans for bad credit are short term loans that are designed for people who have poor credit history. These loans are typically small loans, usually ranging from £50 to £1,000, but they are intended to be repaid in a short period of time, usually on the borrower's next payday.

People who have been rejected by traditional lenders due to their poor credit score, but need quick access to cash to cover unexpected expenses or emergencies, look for bad credit payday loans.

Also, it should be kept in mind that these loans come with high interest rates and fees, and if not repaid on time, it could make the situation even worse.

What can you use bad credit payday loans for?

Bad credit loans can be used for a variety of reasons. That said, bad credit payday loans should only be used for emergencies or unexpected expenses. These loans are typically lower in amount and are repaid on your next payday, so they are not suitable for long-term borrowing or any major expenses.

You can use bad credit payday loans for covering unexpected bills, such as car repairs or medical expenses. They can also be used for urgent home repairs, such as fixing a leaky roof or broken boiler.

Check your current finances and expenses before applying as failing to repay on time could put you in a more difficult situation and can even have a negative impact on your credit score.

Why should I apply with a direct lender only?

If you're considering taking out a payday loan for bad credit, it's important to know the difference between direct lenders and brokers. A direct lender will provide you with the loan directly, while a broker acts as a middleman between you and the lender.

Applying with a direct lender can have several benefits.

  1. When you apply with an FCA authorised direct lender, you can be sure that your personal information will not be shared with third-party companies without your permission.
  2. Additionally, direct lenders have more control over their lending policies and can offer flexible repayment options if you're struggling to make repayments.
  3. A direct lender may also give you a faster decision on your application.
