Necessary information on personal loans




By Joanne Clive

The loan market is almost like any other industry. Both the lender and the borrower are inter-dependent. Borrowers take out money to meet important needs; lenders offer them loan to make more money out of it. This mutual dependent compels both the parties to be fair and square in their dealings. Yet, considering the hard realities of life, one cannot ignore the existence of unscrupulous people in the lending industry. After all, 'utopia', where everything is ideal, exists only in the world of imagination.

So, if you are going to take personal loans, it is recommendable to be prepared well so that you are not taken in by dishonest lenders. In this regard, the following points will be highly helpful.

1. Shopping for the loan: Smart shopping really helps to avail a suitable deal on personal loans. While shopping for loan is a must for some people, many others are there who simply take the deal offered by the bank where they have a current account. The reason is that it saves time and comes without hassle. But these minor advantages may cost them a substantial sum of money that they can save by considering other options.

2. Go beyond the headlines: While some lenders offer 'flat rates', most others apply 'risk-base pricing' and charge interest depending on your credit report. This means that if you stick to the 'typical rate' highlighted in bold, you may fail to know the actual cost of the loan. The best way to avoid this is to consider the total amount you have to pay during the whole loan period.

3. Consider the repayment period: The repayment period influences the total cost of personal loans. If you are offered the loan at low rate but the repayment period is too long then you will end up paying a lot of extra cash. The fact that you pay interest for a long time makes the total cost of the loan high, though you are given the same with low rate.

4. Be careful about the early repayment penalty: If there is any likelihood that you can pay off the loan early then carefully go through the small prints that states the penalty you have to pay.

5. Avoid payment protection insurance if not necessary: Payment protection insurance makes sure that the loan is paid off even if you fail to do so. This method is more helpful for the lender than for the borrower. So, say 'no' to it if you are sure of your repayment capability.

6. Peruse the small details: Proper perusal of the small details of the loan agreement is very important to avoid any kind of hidden charges that show themselves up long after the loan is processed.

Personal Loans are available both in secured and unsecured form. No matter which type of loan you take, the above points will render you valuable help to save yourself from the negative side of the loan market as well as to strike a suitable loan deal.
