Many people are under the impression that due to the credit crunch bad credit loans are completely unavailable.

It makes sense that many think this, as bad credit loans, bad credit mortgages and bad credit remortgages precipitated the credit crunch. Underwriting in the homeowner loan industry in general caused much of the financial crisis that most of the civilised world has experienced in the course of the last two odd years.

It is certainly a fact that bad credit loans now as in the past are not available to those who do not own their property, but simply rent it from a local council or housing association or a private individual. Even tenants with a good to an excellent credit rating find it difficult to obtain loans of any kind at the best of times, and since the recession the situation has become more and more dire.

However for homeowners the situation is different. Until 2007 it was fairly easy for a homeowner to obtain a bad credit secured loan up to a maximum 75% LTV, even with extremely poor credit. Some homeowners who were on the verge of having their property repossessed were saved at the last moment by receiving a bad credit loan.

Though not as easy now as two or so years ago, it is still possible to obtain bad credit loans..

Bad credit secured loans are available at between 60% to 70% LTV for homeowners with minor credit problems.

For homeowners with C.C.J’s , defaults and mortgage arrears there are still two bad credit secured loan lenders who will consider looking at advancing a bad credit loan to homeowners with extremely bad credit files, and they accept unlimited adverse points.

These bad credit secured loans have a maximum limit of 23,000 and a maximum LTV of 50% of the value of the property being given as security.

These bad credit loans are still available in a restricted way, and they can be a great help to homeowners at a time when they most need help by means of additional funds.
