Mortgages, Remortgages, Secured Loans and Personal Home Loans
19. In debt you can be refused credit
When you are in debt you can be refused credit. This might be because you have adverse credit. You are thought to be a bad financial risk. Your best way to reverse this is to repair your credit rating by gaining control of your debt through debt consolidation.
There are a myriad of choices open to people such as yourself. Products such as Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA), bad credit loans and bad credit mortgages can all help to lift you out of debt. The difficulty lies in trying to decide which one is right for you at this time.
Bad credit loans and bad credit mortgages are tailored for your situation. A plethora of companies has appeared in the last few years which specialise in these areas. Although they can form a good debt consolidation solution it is important to bear in mind a few points. Shop around and compare rates, this may be best done through an independent specialist. Ask to see disclosures showing fees and costs and how much down payment is require. It may also pay to negotiate.
A more formalised way to end adverse credit is to have an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA). An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) uses the services of an IVA advisor and an insolvency practioner who take out an Interim Order on your behalf to protect you from your creditors. You do not contact the creditors direct. A creditor meeting takes place and they agree to the proposal they will not bother you again.
You need to have debts in excess of £15,000 to ask for this. If you have less adverse credit or would prefer to pay out less then £200 per month, then go for one of the simpler debt consolidation solutions either a bad credit loan and bad credit mortgage.
