A remortgage is an agreement with a new lender, where you either commit to borrowing enough to pay off your existing mortgage and move your debt to the new lender, or you would like to borrow against equity in a property that you already own. If you have had problems with debt or you have missed loan repayments, you may have a poor credit rating and will therefore only be eligible for a bad credit loan remortgage. Lenders calculate interest rates on loans mainly according to how risky they think it would be to loan money to you, so if you take out a bad credit loan remortgage, your interest payments will be higher.

If you have a poor credit history, it is a frustrating time to look to the high-street lenders for a bad credit loan remortgage, because lending criteria are now much tighter than they were before the downturn. If you have a large amount of equity in your property, or you are able to use savings to lower your ‘loan-to-value’ (LTV) or the amount you wish to borrow against the value of your property, then you may still find that a mainstream lender can offer you a competitive rate on a bad credit loan remortgage. Otherwise, you might be better turning to a bad credit loan remortgage specialist, as these providers have plenty of experience in dealing with clients who have previously been in debt, and may therefore be more understanding.
