Credit Repair

We’re working with Mortgage Advice Bureau to help you find the best mortgage deal by comparing 1000’s of mortgages from over 90 different lenders.

If you’ve missed a few credit card payments, are in a debt management plan, have any CCJs or a poor credit rating for any other reason, credit repair mortgages may be an option for you.

What’s more, once you’ve found a solution, paying your mortgage on time for a few years should help you ‘repair’ your credit history and move to a standard mortgage at a lower rate.

So what is a credit repair mortgage?

These are mortgages offered by lenders who are willing to lend to people with poor credit histories. Interest rates and charges for these mortgages tend to be higher because of the perceived risk. However, if you can make your repayments on time, your credit rating will start to improve – and you may be able to switch to a more competitive deal within a few years.

Are there ways to improve my bad credit rating?

There are certainly things you can do which will have a positive effect on your credit score in the future.

• Pay your bills on time
• Make sure you’re on the electoral roll.
• Check your credit rating regularly. Since the General Data Protection Regulation  came into effect at the end of May 2018, it’s now free to check your report and you have a legal right to do so. All checks are done online so it’s quick and easy.
