    How can I improve my loan eligibility?

    There are several things that you can do which could improve your chances of being accepted for a loan. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that none are guaranteed to result in a successful application:

    • Try to improve your credit score – avoiding making multiple applications for credit (such as credit cards, loans etc.) in a short space of time, paying bills and debt repayments on time and getting on the electoral roll may all help improve your score

    • Check for bad financial ties – if you’re financially connected to someone with bad credit, for example an ex-partner, this could affect your likelihood of being accepted. If this is the case, you can apply for a notice of dissociation, to show lenders that you’re no longer connected to them

    • Obtain credit if you have none or bad credit – taking some basic steps toward improving your credit situation may help improve your eligibility chances. This can include doing simple things like opening a bank account, setting up direct debits and keeping up with any repayments
