Where can I get a loan in London with a bad credit score?

There are plenty of Londoners out there with bad credit scores, and there isn’t any need to worry if you’re one of them!

If you’ve got a bad credit score, it won’t scare us! When we receive a loan application, we look at more than the applicant’s credit history. We do look at this information, but we also look at the amount of disposable income the person has. If an applicant has enough disposable income to pay for a loan, despite having a poor credit score, then there’s a good chance they’ll get approval from us.

Applications are assessed individually using affordability, creditworthiness and the applicant’s current financial circumstances. A poor credit history does not guarantee either approval or refusal.

The cost of living in London

Living costs vary between households and can change over time. Before borrowing, consider whether the expense is temporary and essential, whether another option is available, and whether each repayment would remain affordable alongside housing, utilities, food, transport and existing credit commitments.

A payday loan is not intended to solve repeated or long-term budget pressure. Free and impartial guidance is available from MoneyHelper if regular income is not covering essential expenditure.

FAQs

Can I get a payday loan in London with no credit check?

Taking a payday loan that comes with no credit check may be tempting if you’ve got a poor credit score. However, applying for one of these loans isn’t recommended because credit checks are performed to help lenders make responsible lending decisions. Any responsible Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorised lender will conduct a basic creditworthiness check for every loan applicant.

You should only use lenders regulated by the FCA for your safety and security, and you should search a lender’s website to see if they display their FCA credentials. Most lenders will have their FCA number as a clickable link in the footer of their website. You can see Cashfloat’s FCA credentials here.

How do I choose the best payday loan in London?

Your choice of the best payday loan provider in London will depend on the things that matter most to you. Having a lender with flexible repayment plans may be the most important thing for some people. For others, it may be having a lender that specialises in loans for bad credit scores.

Here are some things you should consider when comparing loans:

  • The total cost, including any hidden fees
  • How long you are given to make the repayments
  • If the loan is secured or unsecured
  • If the lender accepts applicants with bad credit scores
  • Past customer reviews and ratings
