Every time you apply for a loan, a credit check is completed. Details of those checks are kept on file for around four – five years. If you are applying for many loans in a short period of time, this can negatively impact your score. This is because it could indicate that you’re applying for more credit than you can afford to repay. You can learn more about what impacts credit scores 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.
1. Choose a low cost lender. High-cost loans can impact your credit score. Loansmart is a low-cost lender. The maximum amount we charge in annual interest rates is 35.50%. But our lowest interest rate is 9.95%.
