Common Questions

Credit Impaired FAQs

How much higher are the interest rates?
Typically 1-3% higher than mainstream rates, depending on the severity of credit issues. The goal is to refinance to better rates once you've established clean conduct.
How long do defaults stay on file?
Defaults remain on your credit file for 5 years from the date of listing. However, many lenders will consider applications before this if other factors are strong.
Can I get a loan during bankruptcy?
Generally no - you need to wait until you're discharged. However, we can help you prepare so you're ready to apply as soon as you're discharged.
What if I have multiple defaults?
Multiple defaults are more challenging but not impossible. Specialist lenders will assess the total picture including amounts, dates, and whether they're paid.
Do I need to pay off defaults first?
Ideally yes - paid defaults are viewed more favourably. In some cases, funds from settlement can be used to pay defaults, but this needs careful planning.
Is the assessment confidential?
Absolutely. We understand these situations are sensitive. Your information is handled confidentially and we don't run credit checks until you're ready to proceed.
