Secured loans - what they are and how they
work
A secured loan is a loan that is secured against the
value of your property. Because of this security, you could benefit
from better rates, and an increased choice of repayment plans. Also
because you repay over a longer period, your monthly repayments could
be lower, helping you get back on track with your finances.
Our Promise
We will always offer you the best rate we can possibly
find for you based on your circumstances. If you have already recieved
a better quote, let us know and we will do everything we can to beat
it. With no upfront fees, it costs nothing to find out.
Your Rate.
We approach a wide panel of secured loan lenders on
your behalf who offer a variety of different rates ranging from 6.6%
APR to 19.9% APR depending on individual circumstances and loan amounts.
We will make you aware of your individual rate and repayment amount
before you decide to go ahead with your loan. Typical 9.9%
APR (variable)
Repayment terms
Your repayment period will depend in the amount you
borrow and your personal circumstances. You can also choose between
a loan where the rate changes in line with the general level of interest
rates or one where you can fix your monthly payments for an initial
period of the loan. Don't worry if all this sounds a bit complicated,
or you don't know which you want, we will help you to find the most
appropriate loan for you.
Early repayment
There's no need to worry about the commitment of
taking out a loan. If you're circumstances change, you can repay the
loan back at any time. The method of calculating the amount of money
required on early redemption will be stated in the loan agreement.
We will also send you a copy of the FISA Borrowers Guide which will
explain the procedure in detail.
Protecting your repayments
Each of our lenders offers a range of payment protection
plans. Some of the benefits they include are:
Involuntary unemployment cover
Hospitalisation cover
Accident and sickness cover
Disability cover
Risk Statement
Think carefully before securing other debts against
your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments
on your mortgage.
Customers with previous credit problems
We have already helped thousands of customers who
have experienced credit problems in the past. So you really don't
have to worry if any of the following applies to you:
CCJs - We have loan plans to fit most
situations subject to your ability to repay our loan, and you could
use a secured loan to wipe the slate clean and get yourself back on
track.
Mortgage arrears - Unlike most banks, we do not rely
on rigid computer programmes to asses your application, and therefore
we could still help even if you have fallen behind with mortgage payments
or had problems in the past.
No proof of income - More and more people work for
themselves or are unable to prove their income, as they undertake
contract or season work. But don't worry - we treat each client as
an individual. As long as we are sure you can afford our loan, you
will find that we are much more flexible as we look at your application
on an individual basis.
Customers planning to move house
You can still apply for a Loan, even if you're planning
on moving house in the future. When you move you simply have two options:
1. Pay off your loan with the money you get from the
sale of your house
OR
2. Transfer your loan to your new property (subject
to your chosen lenders terms)
Loan amounts available to you
Loan amounts of £5,000 to £150,000 are
available for any purpose, but of course, we judge each applicant
on their individual circumstances and ability to repay the loan. For
more information call one of our dedicated loan advisors who will
be happy to help.
