Neither longer or shorter repayment terms can be described as better than the other, because the repayment term that is best for you will depend on your financial situation.

Shorter repayment term: a £2,500 loan with a shorter repayment term, such as 12 or 18 months, will cost less in interest overall, although your monthly repayments will be higher.

Longer repayment term: you’ll pay more in interest over a longer term, such as 36 months, but your monthly repayments will be lower. You’ll also have more time to spread the cost of borrowing.

How much will a £2,500 loan cost?

When searching for a £2,500 loan, take note of the Annual Percentage Rate (APR). The APR reflects the overall cost of the loan and includes the interest rate and any standard fees. The lower the APR, the lower the cost of the loan.

Bad credit £2,500 loans UK: £2,500 loans for bad credit

Several of the lenders on the Little Loans panel specialise in loans for people with bad credit, and they could be willing to consider your application for a bad credit £2,500 loan.

Before you search for a £2,500 loan for people with bad credit, please be aware that having a bad credit score could mean that, if successful, you’re offered a higher rate of interest. The interest rate you’re offered will affect the overall cost of the loan, as well as your monthly repayments.

Will a £2,500 loan affect my credit score?

Yes, like any credit product, a £2,500 loan will affect your credit score.
Below, we’ve listed some of the ways that a loan could have an impact on your credit score.

1. Application stage
   When you make an application directly with a lender, they will carry out a full credit check, known as a creditworthiness assessment. This will involve a hard search or an Open Banking check. A hard search will be visible on your credit file for up to 12 months.
   If, when searching for the right loan, you make several applications with direct lenders, multiple hard searches could be carried out, and this will harm your credit score.
   Using a credit broker, like Little Loans, could help you avoid the risk of multiple hard searches. Using a soft search with no impact on your credit score, Little Loans presents your application to over 30 direct lenders at the same time to search for a £2,500 loan.**


2. Loan repayments
   If your £2,500 loan repayments are made in full and on time each month, your credit score could improve. You’ll need to make sure you keep on top of any other commitments you have, like a credit card.
   A late or missed repayment will be reported to the credit reference agencies (CRAs), and your credit score could drop. Your lender could charge you a fee for late or missed repayments. In the next section, we’ll explain what to do if you’re finding it difficult to repay your loan.

I can’t afford to pay back my £2,500 loan; what happens now?

We understand how worrying this can feel, but please know that there are things you can do, starting by reaching out to your lender and explaining the situation. They will listen to your concerns and talk to you about any options that could be available to help. This could include a repayment holiday or reduced repayments for a period of time.

If you’d like to talk to someone about financial worries or debt, please get in touch with any of the following organisations, all of which offer free, confidential advice: StepChange, MoneyHelper, Citizens Advice, and National Debtline.

Could I get a £2,500 loan today?

You could, although same-day loans cannot be guaranteed. If you’re approved for a £2,500 loan, your lender will let you know when the money will be sent to your bank account. While some lenders offer same-day loans, not all do. The time it takes for the money to become available in your bank account will depend on your bank’s policies and procedures.

*If you apply at the weekend or on a bank holiday your application may not be processed until the next working day.

**If you’re matched with a loan and choose to make a full application with the lender, they will run a creditworthiness assessment, which will involve a hard search or an Open Banking check. A hard search will remain on your credit file for up to 12 months, and multiple hard searches in a short space of time could have a negative impact on your credit score.
