What are the most important loan mistakes that you can avoid?

A borrower assumes that in case she is paying the minimum installment on your unsecured loan she is building good credit. On the contrary in case you are close to your maximum borrowing capacity based on your income and your sanctioned line of credit you are actually damaging your credit score. Any borrower who has her monthly installments exceeding 50% of her disposable income is establishing a bad credit history. Disposable income is the left from your paycheck over money after putting money into your retirement/saving account. Any borrower who is exceeding 50% of his line of credit is establishing a bad credit history. Therefore you may get a loan sanctioned for the maximum amount permissible/available under the circumstances but never exceed 50% of your line of credit. Getting a second mortgage on your house from the same lending institution who has given you the first mortgage shall always help you stay out of trouble as the lender shall accommodate you because he has 100% control over your assets. The average home value in UK is 200005 pounds. It is easier to get this secured loan of 200005 pounds than to get an unsecured loan of 10,000 pounds at an early age in life. Obviously the lender understands that by buying a house for 200005 pounds the borrower is going to save on monthly rent and at the same time built equity in the house. By getting an unsecured loan of 10,000 pounds the lender understands the high risk he is getting into and therefore charges a higher rate of interest.

Also an unsecured loan is mostly used by the borrower for spending urge rather than a saving motive. It is important to take a home mortgage before a borrower takes a new car loan. Home owners always get much lower rate of interest on car loans as the lender looks at him as a stable responsible borrower. Student loans are high in amount but are not looked as unsecured loans.

The lenders over past several decades have experienced that student loans bring in higher salaries for the borrowers and are this way their loan is secured by the guaranteed future income of the borrower. Revolving loans such as credit cards are always more damaging than the fixed term loans with fixed rate of interest. Always try to avoid variable interest loans with a low interest rate at the beginning of the loan. In fact the present global credit crunch and the sudden default in repayment by the borrowers is 95% attributed to the contracts with a variable APR. Need less to mention in the last that borrow for a shorter duration as further you go into future the more uncertain is your repayment capability. In other words never drag a loan repayment installment in to your retirement age.
