'Subprime' Finance • How It Works


Subprime loans are a type of loan that is offered at a rate above prime to individuals who do not qualify for prime rate loans. Quite often, subprime borrowers are often turned away from traditional lenders because of their low credit ratings or low credit score other factors that suggest that they have a reasonable chance of defaulting on the debt repayment.

Subprime loans tend to have a higher interest rate than the prime rate offered on traditional loans. The additional percentage points of interest often translate to tens of thousands of pounds worth of additional interest payments over the life of a longer term loan.

However, getting a subprime loan could still be a good idea if the loan is meant to pay off a higher interest debt (such as credit card debt) and the borrower has no other means for payment.

The specific amount of interest charged on a subprime loan is not set in stone. Different lenders may not value a borrower's risk in the same manner. This means that a subprime loan borrower has an opportunity to save some additional money by shopping around.

We view the wording bad credit car finance as a negative term. It's similar to using the word blacklisted or subprime - when in reality, bad credit car finance can mean anything from car finance for a customer who has missed the odd payment on a home shopping catalogue or had a late payment on their mobile phone contract right the way through to customers who have been through bankruptcy. Our customers aren't bad, that's why we offer car finance for people with bad credit, which seems to be the popular way to describe it nowadays. We offer car finance for good people with bad credit history in Liverpool, Merseyside and The Wirral
