Can I get a bad credit loan without a credit check?

To be legally compliant, all lenders are required by the FCA to carry out credit checks on borrowers making a full application for a long-term loan for bad credit applicants.

Why? The finance companies on our panel believe in responsible lending. Responsible lending means carrying out checks on borrowers to make sure that they can comfortably afford the repayments on a loan before a borrower’s request is approved. Part of that checking procedure is carrying out a full credit check on a borrower.

If you apply to a number of lenders directly, however, they will all carry out a hard credit on you. The problem is that lenders will be less inclined to offer you a loan if they see a large number of hard searches on your credit report in a short period of time.

If you use Little Loans to apply for a bad credit loan, our procedure means that only one credit check will be carried out and that’ll be by a lender who is more likely to approve your loan based upon the personal information you’ve provided.
