New Delhi, May 31: The higher your credit score, the more access you will have to credit and the less interest you will pay. If you have bad credit, it will be more difficult for you to get affordable credit. Taking out a personal loan can help you pay off debt or build a good payment history, which can help improve your credit score.
Personal loans are a great option for financial emergencies because they don’t require leverage and are easy to apply for. Personal loans, despite their reputation for being expensive, can help you improve your credit score if used wisely. A few lenders are prepared to offer unsecured loans to people with “decent” credit scores if they meet the other requirements.
Why is credit score important when using a personal loan?
TransUnion CIBIL, a credit reporting company, examines your credit and credit card activity and assigns a three-digit number to summarize your credit history. Your CIBIL score is a number that ranges from 300 to 900.
Credit score is derived from information from your credit reports, including your credit history, repayment history, total amount owed, length of credit history, credit composition, and most credit inquiries. recent. The other three factors make up 35% of your credit score, while your payment history and the total amount you owe is 65%.
Since your credit score is based on your credit history, lenders can estimate your risk of default and decide on loan eligibility and terms accordingly.
A CIBIL score of 700 to 750 is considered a fair score and may get you through the door depending on the type of loan. A credit score of less than 700 is considered bad and is likely to result in rejection of the loan.
A personal loan can help you improve your credit rating in the following ways:
Build a payment history
To build a good payment history, always make your personal loan payments on time. Your credit bureau score will improve if you have a good payment history. Always remember to make your monthly payments in full.
Debt consolidation
To consolidate your debts, you could take out a single personal loan. This will reduce the amount of interest you pay on your debts and ensure that you pay off your personal loan systematically through IMEs.
Use of credit
Credit usage refers to the amount you owe against your credit card spending limit. Adding a personal loan to the mix can lower your credit usage score and improve your credit score.
Improve the credit mix
The credit composition is factored into the credit scoring formula. The diversification of the different types of loans or lines of credit that you are currently paying is called a credit mix. Adding a personal loan to the mix can help you improve your credit score as it shows that you have dealt with various types of credit before.
Importance of the personal loan EMI calculator
You will be better able to understand how your life and expenses will have to change once the EMI goes into effect if you know how much your reimbursement will be. Calculating your EMIs before applying for a personal loan allows you to plan ahead for debt repayment, avoid missing EMIs, and lead to a bad credit score.
