What is a loan broker?

A loan broker is a company that specialises in getting better rates for borrowers, and can be a great alternative to a loan offered by your current bank. A broker will search a range of options for you, and try to negotiate a better APR.

Who should use loan broker?

A loan broker can only help homeowners (if you are not a home owner click here). You will benefit from using if you are self employed, have Count Court judgements (CCJs) or a poor credit history. If you’ve got defaulted payments, bankruptcy or county court judgements on your record, you might want to explain the situation to a loan broker and see what they can do for you.

What if I have a no adverse credit problems?

If you’ve never been in debt and think that your credit rating is spotless, you could still be offered a higher APR or even be rejected for a loan, as the following factors contribute towards your credit rating:

  • Have you moved house without informing your bank or lender straight away?
  • Have you forgotten to register to vote?
  • Have you changed jobs in the last year?
  • Have you only recently built up a credit history, or have you never borrowed before?

How can a loan broker improve my credit history?

Completing a form on a lender’s website is quick and convenient, but it only asks for certain information. This is great for people who will pass a credit check easily, but if you are not approved then this will leave a black mark on your credit score. Therefore you should speak to someone over the phone to get the best deal possible.

A new low-rate loan can help you build up a history of making your repayments on time. Your credit rating will improve, and all thanks to using a loan broker.
