2 reasons why payday loans can hurt your ability to get a personal loan

2 reasons why payday loans can hurt your ability to get a personal loan

Reason 1: Lenders may not give you a personal loan

What many people don’t know is that having one or more of these types of loans means a lender may not give you a personal loan or they may offer you a higher interest rate.

This becomes a frustrating trap for people because they want to get out of these high interest rate loans but lenders won’t give them a loan.

Reason 2: These loans affect your ability to qualify for a new loan.

By law lenders have to ensure you can afford to pay back a new loan.

To check this, they look at your income, expenses AND include the repayments you need to make for these payday loans.

Because these loans often have high monthly repayments because of the high interest (sometimes 48% per year) and the fact that you are paying these loans back within a short period of time, it just makes it harder to prove you can afford to repay a new loan.

So, while payday loans might seem like quick and fast money, they can seriously affect your ability to get finance in the future.

We think it’s like quicksand for your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

A credit score is a number generated by credit reporting agencies that provides an indication of your credit worthiness. A credit score is really important as they can significantly affect your ability to get a loan and how much that loan will cost (the interest rate and other chargers).

The exact formula is not disclosed by credit reporting agencies however there are several key factors that they consider like the amount of money you’ve borrowed, the number of loan applications you have made, your repayment history and any defaults, bankruptcies, debt collection agency agreements or short-term credit you have.

Here are 5 ways to improve your credit score: 1. Pay your bills on time, 2. Don’t apply for a loan at multiple lenders, 3. Pay your loans off on time, 4. Check your credit score is accurate, 5. Reduce the amount of credit cards. See our full article for more information "How to improve your credit score".

The higher your credit score the better your chance of getting a loan and the better chance you have of getting a lower interest rate. This is because if you have a really good credit score you are a lower risk to a lender and therefore are a good chance of paying back the loan. Conversely, if you have a lower credit score a lender may classify you as having higher risk and therefore charge a higher interest rate.

In addition to your credit score, other factors like overall banking conduct (such as dishonours and payday loans) can also impact the interest rate you are offered. 

At nmoni we do not perform upfront credit checks. This means that we can review your application and give you a guide as to whether a lender will give you a loan before a credit check is completed. Our process reduces the number of credit checks required and therefore helps you avoid hurting your credit score. Start the process today by completing our fast application.

At nmoni we review your situation and only apply for loans with lenders we believe will approve your application and provide the right rate. This will reduce the impact on your credit score while also saving you a lot of time and hassle.

This is really important as you don’t want to get a loan with a lender that charges high fees and has high exit costs. We only deal with reputable lenders so we can ensure you avoid any of these potential potholes. Also, make sure the lender or broker you use has high Google ratings (we happen to have a 4.9 out of 5 Google rating!).

The good news is that there are lenders who work with clients looking for a car loan with bad credit. Importantly, these lenders often change their lending criteria so it’s important to work with a broker who can help place you with a lender who is more likely to fund your dream car purchase. Please complete our online car loan application and we will check our panel of over 20 lenders to see who can help with your situation.

We take a broader view of your application than just your credit score. We do this by reviewing your overall credit profile to get a clearer picture of your financial position. We do this without performing an upfront credit check (we do a soft check that does not impact your credit score). Importantly, we also provide credit feedback if we cannot assist you with a loan right now. 

Secured loans are amongst the easiest loans to get. That's where you put up something of value in exchange for funding. Car, boat and caravan loans are types of secured loans and means the lender has some security over the loan.

We can review your situation and provide feedback on why you are being declined without hurting your credit score. Apply now and we'll provide you valuable feedback.

There are lenders we work with that specialise in clients with lower credit scores. The best way to find out is to complete our online application and we’ll put our technology and/or one of our credit analysts to work to review your file and provide feedback. We can provide valuable information on your options without affecting your credit rating.
