Credit checks for a £500 loan

At Dot Dot Loans, we take our responsibilities as a lender very seriously. We make sure to be clear and open at all times and only provide credit to customers who can afford it.

To help us do this, we carry out credit and affordability checks on all our applicants. We can still act as a £500 loan for bad credit direct lender in some cases, subject to affordability.

Getting a £500 loan with bad credit and no credit check is not possible - but our initial credit check will be a 'soft' one, which means it won't leave a mark on your credit file. So, if your application isn't successful it won't be visible to lenders.

We will only carry out a 'hard' search if we initially approve you for a loan and you accept our loan offer. This kind of search will be visible to other lenders on your credit file.

Transparency is a very important part of responsible lending. We always make it clear what our loans will cost, and what your repayments will be. When you choose the £500 loan option, you'll see all the information clearly displayed.

All charges and interest are clear upfront, and your loan will never cost more than this. We also don't charge late payment fees.

500 pound loan FAQs

Question	Answer
What repayment periods are available with a £500 loan?	You can borrow £500 over 3, 6 or 9 months. Our short-term loan calculator allows you to compare different loan terms to find the repayment period you’re most comfortable with.
Can I get a £500 personal loan with bad credit?	You don't need a perfect credit history to be approved for a £500 loan. As part of our decision process, we carry out credit and affordability checks to make sure a loan is manageable for you. An imperfect credit score won’t automatically rule you out, though, so you could still borrow 500 pounds with bad credit. Find out about our loans for bad credit.
I am an existing customer. How do I apply for another loan?	As an existing customer with an active loan, you may be eligible to take out a new loan with us once you’ve repaid your existing one. This is not a guarantee, however, and how much you may be able to borrow as an existing customer depends on your circumstances. If you’ve settled your existing loan, you can apply via the Dot Dot online portal. Simply log in and select the 'New Loan' tab, then click apply now to start your application. Some of your details will be pre-populated, so please check they’re correct before continuing with your application. Always consider the cost of further borrowing, whether it is affordable (particularly if your circumstances change), and whether you will be able to maintain other debt repayments.
Can I apply for a loan while on benefits?	Yes. For our short-term loan products, we accept applicants who use benefits as their primary source of income, subject to affordability checks. You can read more about applying for a loan on benefits on our blog.
Do I need a guarantor?	You don’t. We could offer you a 500 pound loan with bad credit and no guarantor if we judge that you can afford the repayments.
