How Guarantor Loans work
Traditional unsecured loans or personal loans are provided on terms that depend on the applicant's personal financial circumstances. Lenders will base their decision to lend upon the applicant's credit history and/or will use computerised credit scoring techniques to make their decision.
Guarantor Loans change the rules and put you in control - we don't believe that because you may have had credit issues in the past that you shouldn't be helped now. With an unsecured guarantor loan our lender will consider you for a loan if you can provide a guarantor for the loan - that is a person who is prepared to guarantee the loan repayments should you default on those payments yourself. No one is likely to act as a guarantor unless they believe that you will repay the loan 100%. This is why your guarantor is likely to be a parent, family member or very close personal friend - they will know you better than a computerised score ever could! Because you provide a guarantor our lender does not need to credit check you and they do not base their lending decison on a credit score.

Who can apply for a Guarantor Loan?
We are happy for anyone to apply for a guarantor loan - so long as they can provide a guarantor. So we can take loan applications from people who might be turned down by standard lenders - e.g. private or council tenants, self employed, people on benefits, and anyone with CCJs, defaults or other credit history problems.

Our specialist lender will then post to you (first class) the guarantor loan documentation you and your guarantor need to complete - a pink form for your guarantor, and a blue one for you. You will also receive a copy of the loan terms and conditions and a prepaid envelope for you to return the completed guarantor loan forms.
These documents will be with you 2-3 working days after you've applied. The money you have requested will have be put aside for you ready to be paid out. Pass the pink form for your guarantor to complete. As soon as lender receives your signed guarantor loan paperwork they will process it and an assigned personal caseworker will contact you. The lender aims to payout the loan within 24 hours of processing your signed paperwork.
