Does A Payday Loan Affect My Credit Score?

When you take out any form of credit or financial product or service you’ll be making an impact in some way on your credit score. Your credit score is important for any number of reasons and is used by prospective lenders to put together a clear picture of how valid you are as a borrower and whether they believe you are a safe pair of hands who can afford to pay back the credit you are attempting to borrow. A payday loan is a financial product that falls under this category, and it is important for lenders to know how you act financially before committing to awarding you a loan.

A payday loan could cause long-term damage to your credit score, but only if you allow it to. In the same way as any missed payments can cause a negative spiral to your credit file, missing payments, or delaying payments when repaying a short-term loan will add a black mark to your credit file. It can also have an affect if you attempt to borrow more money whilst in the middle of paying back an original loan that a payday loan lender has given you.

A good rule to stick by when looking to secure any type of financial product or service is to only ever borrow an amount you know for certain that you can afford to pay back under the agreed terms. This will always limit the potential for a negative impact on your credit score. Also be careful not to apply for multiple loans, especially if you have been rejected by a service in the past. The more you apply for credit, the more desperate you look as a potential borrower and it adds a negative slant to your credit file.

The flip side is of course that a payday loan can actually have a positive impact on your credit score. This is only the case if you are very strict and do not miss any single payment. What this does is demonstrates that you are capable of managing your debt in a responsible fashion. You should never apply for a payday loan just to prove this however, as a payday loan does always come attached with a high amount of interest in comparison to other types of loans.

Even if you do have a poor credit score, the modern day payday loan lenders take a more flexible and organic approach to how they view a potential applicant and whether or not to award a payday loan. If you have a full time job and income that covers the cost of any payments that are to be made for a payday loan, you can still be awarded a payday loan from a new short-term loan company, even if you have a bad credit score. As long as you show that you are willing to make repayments on time, and are moving in the right direction with your credit score, the new breed of payday loan companies don’t believe you should be punished forever. Seek a responsible and reputable payday loan company that offers full transparency of costs and service, and always understand your credit score and the impact certain actions has on your credit file.
