Hi there, I need to consolidate a number of cards and a payday loan. At the moment I am paying close to 700 a pay to keep up with these so can definitely fund a loan but my bank won't do it because of late fees and some over the limit all of which are caught up. Does this sound like something you take into consideration?
Thanks
Christina

Hi Christina, we do offer and unsecured personal loan that can be taken our for the purpose of debt consolidation. We would take into consideration the conduct of any existing accounts during our assessment of an application. That being said we do take a comprehensive approach to assessing each application on its own merit to ensure each application does meet our lending criteria. However we can not give any indication or expectation that a loan would approved as it does need to be assessed by our credit assessment team. I hope this helps. Best regards, Mathew.

I'd like to apply for a loan to
Consolidate all our credit cards, personal loans and pay our bills. As a married couple can we apply for a joint loan as we have our own credit cards or can one loan pay off both credit cards?

Just wondering about a loan to consolidate debt?
I've just put through for a loan but got up to the bank statements bit, my bank account doesn't look great at moment because of having to pay a lot of interest fees a so this is why I'd like to put it into one loan, does this mean I will get rejected because of my statements?

Hi, At SocietyOne we do take a holistic approach to reviewing and assessing applications, this being said we are unable to advise if the bank statements alone will be a defining factor. Our assessment process does take into account your credit conduct including credit file and statements provided. I hope this helps. Thanks, Mathew.

This took me about two days if I recall correctly maybe three. If anyone is interested in SocietyOne I honestly highly recommend them. It is a relatively cheap, fast loan, done over the telephone. If there are issues, they are resolved quickly and politely by the office staff.
Do not hesitate to contact SocietyOne, everything about them in my opinion is a 10 out of 10.

How do we apply for a personal loan To consolidate debt

1 answer
SocietyOne
Society O.SocietyOne

Hi Na Li

We're delighted you're thinking about SocietyOne and we'd love to help.

Before you apply for a personal loan we offer you the opportunity to see how much you qualify for by getting an obligation-free quote. This process runs a ‘soft’ online credit check and does not impact your credit file. It allows us to determine a credit rating and assign an appropriate interest rate. So you’re receiving a rate tailored to you and your unique circumstances – which traditional lenders don’t do. You’ll receive the offer in just minutes and you can decide whether you want to proceed or not. If you then choose to go ahead and submit a loan application it will be recorded against your credit file, as is the case with other lenders.

I am in the same situation. Did yours get funded in the end? did it take very long being this time of the year, I got told it might take a bit longer.

There was a system issue when mine was approved so it took a bit longer.
It looks like Society One transfer the bids when it is funded.
The team were great whenever I called.
