Can I get a £3,000 loan?

Truth be told, no shortage of lenders will offer you a £3,000 loan if you meet their eligibility requirements.

Taking out a £3,000 loan with bad credit could result in extortionate interest rates and repayments that quickly mount up. This is where a Drafty line of credit comes in.

We look beyond the numbers to see you – warts and all. Yes, we have to take the expected details (we wouldn’t be a responsible lender if we didn’t), but we try to make the process as painless as possible.

What is a Drafty line of credit?

If your credit score needs boosting and you need a lift financially, give Drafty a try ahead of a £3,000 loan. We do things differently from a traditional loan; we’d say it's an alternative to an overdraft or credit card.

However, there are some key differences worth noting. You don’t have to use the funds on your credit line and you only pay interest on what you withdraw. If you do use the funds, it’s much cheaper than getting a quick 3000 pound loan. A credit line is also cheaper than using most unarranged overdrafts and some arranged overdrafts.

To top it off, we aim to send the cash to your bank in under 90 seconds, if you’re approved.

Getting Drafty, a £3,000 loan alternative

Here at Drafty, we’ve simplified applying for our alternative to a £3,000 personal loan to make your life easy breezy.

If approved, you can use it whenever you need it. We just ask that you make minimum payments at regular stages, but feel free to repay as much as you want. If you can afford to pay more, you’ll save a bit on interest too. Even better, there are no subscription fees and no late fees involved.

The Drafty approach is simple. We look at your current financial status and check your credit history. We know that you’re so much more than just that number, so bear in mind that it only forms a part of our decision. If we’re happy that you'll be able to afford it, you could get your hands on some extra cash sharpish.

So, if that sounds good, you can apply now.

What can I use a £3,000 loan for?

Quick £3,000 loans are typically used for unexpected, temporary or one-off financial outgoings. For example, if a home appliance packs in and you desperately need a new one, a £3,000 loan can bridge the gap.

A Drafty line of credit works in a similar way, but without the added obstacles of applying again and again. Once you're approved for a Drafty line of credit, you can use it whenever you need, up to the approved limit.

Disadvantages of £3,000 loans

There are a few reasons we believe a Drafty line of credit is better than a £3,000 loan:

High interest rates - If you’re looking for a quick £3,000 loan, lenders might jack up the interest rates as you’re borrowing over a short period

Borrowing cycle – As £3,000 loans for bad credit often have higher interest rates, the repayments can soon add up. This could really affect your financial stability in the long term

Benefits of £3,000 loans for people with bad credit

There aren’t many advantages of a £3,000 cash loan for people with bad credit, as many don’t have a choice. However, most £3000 loans tend to be for shorter amounts of time and available quickly, as they’re usually online.

As long as you meet your repayments, taking out a £3,000 loan can actually improve your credit file. Using a Drafty credit line responsibly can have the same effect, though.

Am I eligible to apply for a Drafty line of credit?

Let’s see, shall we? We’ll consider you if you're:

  • 18 or over and employed
  • Earning at least £1,250 a month

What if my credit line application gets rejected?

Don’t worry if your application gets rejected – it may be down to something you can improve on fairly quickly and easily.

£3,000 loans FAQs

What credit score do I need to borrow £3,000?

There is no hard and fast rule to this. Those with a poor credit history may find it more difficult to borrow money than people with better credit scores. Some lenders will also look at your overall financial situation along with conducting credit checks. Do you know who else looks beyond your credit score? That's right – Drafty!

What is the easiest loan to get?

The truth is each £3,000 personal loan is different. Each application has its hoops to jump through. However, we can tell you that we try to make life as straightforward as possible. When applying for a Drafty line of credit, we cut the intrusive questions and get straight to the point.

Where can I get a £3,000 loan with bad credit and no guarantor?

Yet again, each lender works differently. Some lenders insist you have a guarantor to ensure the loan is repaid while others allow you to apply for a £3,000 loan with no guarantor.

Here at Drafty, we make things as simple as possible. You don’t need a guarantor to apply for our line of credit and we try to consider your personal situation to make the process as fair as we can. We’re an extremely responsible lender. We won’t lend you more than you can afford to pay back. Also, our advanced computer underwriting systems will tell if you’re right for the line of credit.
