The Editorial Team commenting on…
Loans for people with bad credit
“Provided you can make the repayments, taking out a loan when you have bad credit can be useful and can even help repair or improve your credit score. But you need to make absolutely sure that the loan is affordable – and that you’re getting the right deal for you.”
Using debt consolidation loans
“Although potentially a last resort, debt consolidation loans can help you manage your debt more efficiently. Make sure you read the small print carefully and check to see if you’ll be charged a fee for paying off your other loans early – as this will affect the savings you’ll make with a debt consolidation loan.”
Using 0% purchase credit cards as an alternative to a loan
“0% purchase credit cards can be one of the cheapest ways to borrow money, if managed correctly. They’re a good alternative to personal loans and other finance deals, since you won’t get charged interest on purchases until the end of the promotional period, giving you time to pay off that new washing machine interest free. Make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully however, as some providers require you to spend within a short time frame (e.g. 60 days) to benefit from the offer.”
