Unsecured loans for Bad Credit: Dot Dot Loans

Are you looking for unsecured loans from direct lenders? Sometimes unexpected costs can crop up which may lead you to search for a loan to help. However, you may not want to secure your loan against any assets you have.

In this situation, it may be worth taking out an unsecured loan. Here at Dot Dot, we could help. Read on to find out more about unsecured loans, and how we can help.

What are unsecured loans?

You may have come across secured and unsecured loans – but what is the difference between the two?

Secured loans use your assets as security on borrowing money. In other words, they allow you to secure your loan on your assets, such as your home or car, which are used as collateral in case you cannot repay the loan.

The main risk associated with secured loans is the possibility of losing valuable assets, should you fail to make your loan repayments. Sometimes a secured loan is referred to as a ‘second-charge mortgage’.

Secured loans are sometimes used by those with significantly bad credit, who would perhaps be turned down by lenders if they did not offer any assets as collateral.

However, if you do not own assets such as property or do not wish to secure your loan against them, there are plenty of alternatives to secured loans - even for those with less than perfect credit. These include unsecured loans or bad credit loans.

Unsecured loans are simply the opposite of secured loans - you do not have to secure your loan on your home or any other assets.

What happens if I can’t repay an unsecured loan?

Sometimes your situation can change unexpectedly, making it harder than usual to repay an existing loan. If this happens, you may wonder how you could manage repayments on a loan which is not secured.

In this scenario, we recommend contacting your lender as soon as possible. They can try to adjust your repayment plan to make things more manageable.

Some lenders will charge late repayment fees. Therefore, before applying for a loan, make sure you double check that the lender you’ve chosen doesn’t charge extra fees such as those for late repayments.

At Dot Dot Loans we do not charge late payment fees or any other additional fees. What you agree upfront is what you will repay – if your circumstances change and your repayments become less manageable, contact us so we can help.
