21. Reasons for falling into adverse credit
The reasons for falling into adverse credit are numerous. You may have fallen behind in your mortgage or loan repayments, you may have missed paying your instalments entirely or you may simply have forgotten to pay your repayment. All these scenarios lead to you having a bad credit rating.
The best way to repair your credit rating is to take on some form of debt consolidation. This could be a bad credit mortgage or a bad credit loan or even an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).
It is essential before you embark upon a quest to claw your way out of debt to take stock of what you have, what you spend, how much you owe and what you can afford to pay off each month. Once you know approximately how much you have available each month as a repayment you can decide what form of debt consolidation you wish to use to reverse your adverse credit. You may prefer taking out a bad credit loan, a bad credit mortgage or an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).
If you owe more then £15,000 in debt and can repay at least £200 per month over a period of about 5 years then an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is right for you. Once the period of repayments is up any outstanding debts are written off. Your adverse credit will also improve over time which may help you get normal credit in the future.
Other forms of debt consolidation such as a bad credit loan or a bad credit mortgage can be more flexible. But the agreement will not end until the debts are repaid. During the period of your agreement it is generally accepted you will not use your credit or store cards. You must change your buying behaviour if you are serious about getting out of debt.
