Unsecured loans are just like any other type of loan. They let you borrow a selected amount of money over a predefined period. Payments are usually calculated in advance using a fixed rate of interest. The repayments are typically made monthly and stay the same for the duration of the loan.
They are referred to as unsecured loans because they don’t require any security or guarantees, as is the case with most smaller loans. A lender will typically use your credit rating to gauge how much of a risk you are.
The lower the risk, the better the interest rates usually are. This is one of the reasons people with bad credit will typically be charged a higher APR.
Any money borrowed from a lender without a guarantor or some form of collateral is an unsecured loan. This type of loan can be for varying amounts and paid back over any period, whether a large amount paid back over several years or just a short-term loan from a direct lender.

Historically, getting any loan with bad credit was very difficult. However, there are now lots of lenders in the UK that specialise in lending to people with bad credit. The increased options for people with poor credit mean they have more options at their disposal. Payday UK works closely with our panel of direct lenders to ensure they look beyond a person’s credit history and instead consider their current circumstances and ability to repay a loan.
Even applicants that have missed multiple payments, been declared bankrupt, or have a CCJ will be considered. Our brokers direct lenders that specialise in bad credit loans will provide an instant decision for those with bad credit, whether unsecured loans or guarantor loans.
Yes, but it won’t affect your credit score. Lenders perform a soft credit check when you apply. This allows them to judge your suitability for the loan you are applying for. If you accept a loan offer, the direct lender is required by law to perform a full credit check. Although this will show up on your credit report, you will already know you meet all the lender’s criteria.
If you make the repayments on time, then it will only have a positive impact on your credit rating. All personal loan lenders are regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and anyone who says they can lend you money without a credit check could either be misleading you or not a reputable or legitimate lender.

To apply for a loan via Payday UK, you must be 18 years of age and a UK resident. You must have a valid UK bank account and a source of income.

Our broker matches you to the best direct lender for your circumstances, ensuring you get the best rate and deal available to you.
While we specialise in helping those with bad credit to access loans, whether a guarantor is required or not will be down to the criteria of an individual lender. Some lenders never ask for a guarantor, while others always require a guarantor even if your credit score is good.
There are a wide variety of direct lenders on our brokers panel, and many of them offer unsecured loans, even to people with poor credit.
Multiple debts can get hard to balance and seem to drag out forever. Some people like to use a single loan as a way to clear several debts and reduce their monthly outgoings. It can also create a definite end date where your debt is paid off, whereas a credit card can seem to go on indefinitely as it can be too easy to use it when you need to.
If you consolidate debts, it’s essential to close the accounts you have paid off, such as cancelling credit cards etc. The benefits of a smaller payment and a definite end date will be undone if you have the loan then run up credit cards again, as you’ll end up back where you started but with an additional loan too. Closing your credit accounts will also show them as settled on your credit report, which should help to improve your score.
It’s essential to check the interest rates and terms of the debts you’re consolidating to ensure you’re not paying more by spreading them over a more extended period.
