By improving your credit score it can make it easier to get credit again in the future, whilst also potentially increasing the amount lenders are willing to let you borrow. It can also affect the interest rate they offer in relation to the personal loan you are asking for.

Who can get an unsecured loan?

Lenders will offer you an unsecured personal loan depending on your ability to repay the money you borrow. To decide this they will take your credit report into account.

A credit report tells lenders about the type of accounts you’ve held. This will include any bank accounts, credit cards, car loans, mortgages and so on. It will also have other details such as the account opening dates, your credit limits and loan amounts. What is more, a credit report will include a score that can change based on how regularly and reliably you pay back loans. In a nutshell, a credit report is your financial history and financial reputation.
