Sometimes you need a helping hand to get through difficult times. This applies just as much to money as any other area of your life.

However well you plan, your finances can sometimes be put under enormous strain. Whether it’s urgent car repairs, an appliance breakdown, a family emergency or a large unexpected bill, you need some extra money fast.

When this happens, one solution is a loan. And if you are considering taking out a loan, there are several advantages to making it an 18 month loan:

• Your loan payments are spread out evenly across the duration of your 18 month loan so that you are not struggling to pay too much back at once;
• An 18 month loan gives you plenty of time to sort out your current situation and get the rest of your finances back on track;
• Your loan will be all finished after 18 months. You may even be able to repay your 18 month loan back early if you can afford to do so.

How much can I borrow with an 18 month loan?

Loans 2 Go offer 18 month loans between £250 and £1500.

You can then repay your 18 month loan in either weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments, whichever works best for you. You can pay us either via Continuous Payment Authority debit card repayments or by using our online payment portal.

There are no fees for setting up your 18 month loan, and no fees if you decide to repay all or part of your 18 month loan early.

Would I be eligible for an 18 month loan with bad credit?

Yes, possibly. It very much depends on your current financial situation. We will consider lending to you with poor credit history or even a CCJ as long as you are now able to afford the repayments on an 18 month loan. As a responsible lender we would not want you to take on a loan that you are unable to repay.

So we do check your credit report as part of the 18 month loan application process but we are more interested in your present financial situation than whatever might have happened in the past. We are a direct lender so there is no third party involved in the process.

To apply for an 18 month loan with us, you need to be:

• At least 21 years old;
• Currently employed with a regular income;
• Resident in the UK, either as a homeowner, tenant, or living with parents;
• The holder of a UK bank account and debit card.
