What are Loans With a Guarantor?

Applying for a loan can be difficult if you do not have a good credit score. Some loan companies will approve your application if you can prove that you have been working for the same employer for a while and are earning enough money to easily cover the loan payments. Loan companies assess the risks they take with each application. If you do not have a good credit score, have a limited work history or if there are any other issues with your application, loan companies will probably charge you higher fees and interests if they approve your application.

Looking For the Best Alternative Loan

Your best alternative to paying higher fees or to have your application

rejected is to apply for a loan with a guarantor. Loan companies look

at these applications as being less risky since your guarantor will

become responsible for making your payments if you default on your

loan. Defaulting on a loan is not ideal since it will hurt your credit score

and obtaining another loan in the future will be harder.

 

Defaulting on a loan is what happens when you can no longer make the

payments but the definition of defaulting on a loan varies from one loan

provider to another. Some loan providers will consider that you defaulted

on your loan if you haven't made any payments for a certain amount of

time. Others will count the payments you have missed while others will consider that you are defaulting on your loan once the balance reaches a certain level.

Don’t Make This Common Mistake

If you default on your loan, your guarantor will become responsible for making your loan payments. They will have to pay the remaining balance on your loan and will also have to cover any fees that result from missing some payments. This is a very important financial responsibility, which is why finding a guarantor for your loan can be difficult.

 

In most cases, guarantors are the parents of the individual who applies for a loan. This is often the case for student loans. Some loan providers will let you use more than one guarantor for your loan. This is a good way to easily meet their requirements since having both your parents sign your loan application as guarantors means both their incomes will be considered. You can also have another one of your relatives become a guarantor.

Increasing Your Chances of Approval

Applying for a loan with a guarantor increases your chances of being approved as long as your guarantor meets a few requirements. You should contact the loan provider and ask if they offer this option. Find out what kind of requirements they want guarantors to meet in order to approve your application. It is also important that the guarantors understand what signing your application means as far as their financial responsibilities.

Finding a guarantor for your loan will be easier if you can show your guarantor that you fully intend on making your loan payments. Showing them your pay stubs and telling them more about your plans to go further in your career will make your guarantors feel better about taking on this responsibility.

Offering a Realistic Option

Applying for a loan with a guarantor is an excellent option if you wouldn't qualify for a loan by yourself due to a limited credit history, a bad credit score or a limited work history. Finding a guarantor can be difficult since this is a very important financial responsibility. However, getting a parent or another relative to become your guarantor should be possible as long as you are confident that you will be able to keep up with the loan payments and will be able to avoid defaulting on your loan payments.
