📣Borrow up to $75,000 unsecured!
Your credit score is how lenders decide whether or not to lend you money. Bad credit scores can be caused by not paying your bills on time, missing loan payments and applying for too many loans. Having a bad credit score doesn’t mean you can’t get a loan, it just means you need to be careful about what type of loan you apply for, to avoid getting into trouble. Many people apply for loans with bad credit, only to discover their credit wasn't that bad after all!

What to do with a low credit score
Every time you apply for a loan, a credit check is performed. Details of these checks are kept on file for approximately four to five years. Applying for multiple loans within a short period of time can negatively impact your credit score. This can indicate that you're applying for more than you can repay. You can learn more about factors that influence your credit score on the government's consumer protection website.
The key thing to remember is this – when applying for a loan, it’s vital to choose the right Loan Company. Here are three factors to consider when deciding which lender to choose:
- Choose a low cost lender. High-cost loans can impact your credit score. Loansmart is a low-cost lender
- Choose a reputable company
- Choose a company that can provide more options, for more chances of success
