Why do people choose secured loans?
As a result of the credit crunch lenders are more selective about who they will lend to and certainly those with a less-than-perfect credit history may find the only way to get a loan is to secure the debt against their property. Secured loan are becoming a more viable option, especially if you want to secure a large amount over a longer period of time.
How do I make payments?
Payment’s have to be made by direct debit from your bank account. The Evolution Current Account could meet your needs perfectly.
How will I receive the money?
The loan advance will be paid in to your bank account.
When will the first repayment be due?
Payments are normally due one month after your loan completes. We understand that certain times of the month may be more convenient for you – for example just after your payday – so we can be flexible with this payment date.
Can I settle my loan early?
Yes you may; the Agreement will detail how your early settlement calculation will be made. You should be aware that if you repay your loan early, the amount you will repay may be greater than the amount you originally borrowed; particularly if you repay any homeowner loan early in its life.
Will there be a fee?
We charge an acceptance fee if you decide to go ahead with the loan. The good news is this is built in to your monthly loan repayment, we won’t ask you to make any payments upfront and should you decide not to take the loan there are no fees to pay.
What happens if I don’t keep up repayments to the loan?
It is important that all payments are made on time as agreed to ensure that additional fees are not added to your account. If you experience problems or anticipate problems making payments you should contact us immediately and we will do our best to help you. If you continue to miss payments and we are unable to resolve the situation satisfactorily as a last resort we will instruct our solicitors to commence proceedings against you. It is vital to keep up the repayments as all lending secured on your property could result in the loss of your home if you fall behind.
