What are the repayment terms on loans for £2,500?

Repayment terms for £2,500 loans vary, and are dependent on lots of factors, including:

• Your chosen lender
• Your individual financial situation
• How quickly you want to pay the money back

£2,500 loans for over two years

You can get a £2,500 loan with a repayment term that is longer than 2 years, but be advised that the total amount of interest you pay back on these loans will be higher.

£2,500 loans for under two years

At ThisLender, the providers we work with offer loans for £2,500 with repayment terms of 3 months - 36 months. These are considered to be short-term loans, as you are able to repay the loan in full in under two years.

How to get a £2,500 loan for bad credit:

If you need to borrow £2,500 but you have bad credit, we might still be able to help. At ThisLender, some of the lenders on our panel offer £2,500 loans for bad credit, which is why we welcome customers with all histories to apply.

It has long been believed that people with bad credit scores do not meet the lending criteria for personal loans. However, these days your credit score makes up just one part of the overall application process.

When assessing your ability to make repayments, lenders will look at:

• Your credit score
• Your income and expenditure
• Proof of employment
• Proof of UK residency

Before you submit your application, you should be absolutely certain that you will be able to comfortably make repayments. Whenever you borrow money, you should think carefully about the financial impact the loan will have and always make sensible, informed decisions.

There are always steps you can take to improve your credit score, and this should be your primary focus. Your credit file is something that stays with you your whole life, and by improving your score you give yourself a higher likelihood of being approved for funding in the future.

Although you can get £2,500 loans for bad credit, be advised that these loans often come with higher interest rates. This is because your application is perceived as ‘higher risk’ and the lender needs something to mitigate this credit risk.

Alternatively, you may be required to take out a £2,500 guarantor loan. Essentially this means that a second person will have to co-sign your loan agreement, agreeing to pay off your debts if you default on repayments.

How much would a £2,500 loan cost me overall?

The total cost of your £2,500 loan will depend on the interest rate you are offered and the loan term you agree to. It can be hard to say for sure exactly how much you’ll end up spending, but you can use our representative example on the right hand panel to help you get a better idea.

Remember that you will be repaying more than you borrow. Monthly interest charges apply as do any fees put in place by the lender.
