What are bad credit home loans?
Simply put, bad credit home loans or low credit score home loans are loans for people who have bad credit history or have been rejected for a loan by a bank. These types of home loans for bad credit are typically offered by non-bank lenders at a slightly higher interest rate, given that there is some risk involved.
Different Types of Home Loans for Bad Credit
If you are behind in payments on a home loan, credit cards or other debts which you are trying to repay. If one or more payments have been missed or if payments have been paid late, this can impact the possibilities of you getting a home loan in the future.
Many major lenders will utilise a credit scoring system on applications which have a small deposit or small or no savings history. Credit scoring is an automated model which assesses credit risk by analysing a range of factors such as whether you have borrowed money before, how many credit cards you have and how long you have been in your job. The frustrating thing is that you may meet the overall guidelines of a lender but they may still decline your application based on the credit scoring method. Our bad credit mortgage broker specialists can find major lenders that do not credit score if we identify that this is a problem.
If you have borrowed money with a particular lender before they will review your past history with that Lender. Consequently, missed payments, even if they happened a long time ago, can still be a problem.
These will normally show up on the tax records you show a Lender. Most lenders will not be prepared to approve a loan until all tax debts have been repaid. This means they will not approve a loan even if the loan will be used to repay the tax debts.
If you are in arrears on a credit facility such as a loan, credit card, electricity or phone account by more than 60 days you may have a payment default recorded on your credit file. Subsequently repaying the debt does not mean this payment default is removed. The debt will be noted as being paid but the payment default will stay on your credit file for 5 years and many major lenders will decline home loan applications irrespective of the situation.
If you have been bankrupt in the past or Part 9 Bankruptcy (Unsecured Debt arrangement). This will stay on your credit file for 5 to 7 years but there are still options depending on your situation.
How do I know if I have Bad Credit?
If you have applied for credit before, that is a home loan, personal loan, credit card or even a credit facility such a phone or electricity contract then you will have a credit file. Your personal details such as name, address, date of birth and drivers licence number will be used to identify yourself and every finance enquiry you make over the past 5 years will be recorded on your unique credit file. In addition, details of serious credit infringements and payment defaults for debts that are overdue by 60 days or more in the last 5 years will be recorded.
Anybody can get a copy of their creditfile. Refer to www.equifax.com.au for more information. With your written consent we can also access a copy on your behalf. This can be worthwhile if you have bad credit or think that you may have bad credit but you are not exactly sure. This can save a lot of time and can ensure that we guide you to the right lender the first time around.
