Don’t pay more than you have to on Bad debt homeowner loans
Over recent years the debt mountain and the level of bad debt in the UK have both risen sharply, and this has reflected the rising number of people that have managed to clock up a range of bad debts, affecting both their lifestyles and their credit rating. As most people know, the state of your credit can severely impact on your ability to get competitive rates on finance – and even on your ability to get finance at all. However, with more and more people with bad debts, lenders have had to fill the gap in the market by offering by offering loans for people with bad debt.
As a result of this the number of bad debt homeowner loans available in the UK has risen, with a range of lenders now offering finance to those with bad debts. However, borrowers with bad debts are considered a high risk to lenders, which means two things. Firstly the rate of interest charged on bad debt homeowner loans is likely to be significantly higher than on loans for those with bad credit. Secondly, most lenders that offer bad debt homeowner loans will only do so on a secured basis, which means that you will need to be a homeowner in order to qualify for one of these bad debt homeowner loans.
Although the interest rates on bad debt homeowner loans are higher than on standard or best rate advertised loans, there are still some competitive deals available. However, it is easy for someone with bad debts who is keen to take out finance for whatever reason to get duped by a seemingly attractive rate of interest only to find that there are various hidden fees and charges that bump up the cost of borrowing. It is important to know what to look for with bad debt homeowner loans as you need to find a loan that is affordable – remember, with homeowner loans failure to keep up with repayments can result in you losing your home.

According to a recent report the interest rates being charged on some personal loans are going up as a result of a crackdown on Payment Protection Insurance cover. PPI has been at the centre of controversy for the last couple of years, and the Financial Services Authority has been cracking down on lenders seen to be mis-selling this insurance to consumers that either cannot benefit from it or never wanted to take it out in the first place.
The FSA has fined a number of firms over mis-selling PPI, with its largest fine being handed out earlier this year after HFC Bank was fined £1 million for breaching PPI regulations. However, industry officials have said that whilst the crackdown and threat of action from the FSA is making lenders more cautious about how and to whom they sell PPI it is also resulting in lenders looking for other ways to recoup the losses on unsecured personal loans.
Figures suggest that since the crackdown on PPI lenders have been raising the rates on their unsecured loans in order to claw back some of the lost revenue resulting from the reduction in PPI sales. In addition to this many lenders have also raised rates in a bid to try and cut back on the amount of money that they are lending because of the problems caused by the ongoing global credit crunch.
Although the rate rises don't make a huge different to the monthly repayment on many of these loans, over the term of the loan it can make a difference of close to £200 even on best buy deals when borrowing £5000 taken over a five year repayment term. With personal loan rates on the rise consumers are being advised to compare loans from a number of providers before making any commitment, as otherwise the total amount repaid on the loan could work out to be very costly.
Another alternative for those that own their own homes is to opt for a secured loan, as this offers the facility to borrow greater amounts and to enjoy longer repayment terms, which could help to keep monthly costs down. more ....
