Bad credit loans are personal loans designed for borrowers with low credit scores, limited credit history, or past financial setbacks. Lenders look at more than just your credit score. They also consider your income, job stability, and existing debts.
Because the lender is taking on more risk, interest rates on bad credit loans are usually higher than rates for borrowers with strong credit. Borrowing only what you truly need and paying on time can help rebuild your score over time.
Watch out for any lender that asks for an upfront fee before approving your loan. In Canada, this is illegal under federal and provincial consumer protection rules. Licensed lenders take their fees from the loan itself, not before.
When Canadians use bad credit loans
- ✓Rebuilding credit after a past bankruptcy or consumer proposal
- ✓Getting access to funds when banks have already said no
- ✓Covering an emergency expense when traditional credit is not an option
- ✓Consolidating high-interest debt into one easier payment
