Late and missed payments, along with other external factors, can have a negative effect on your credit score.
A 12-month loan is a sum of money you repay – as you probably guessed – over the course of a year. Repayments - which are made up of the capital you borrow, plus interest - are made in monthly instalments and providing you pay in full and on time, you should pay off your loan in 12 months.
In the UK, the duration of a short-term loan can vary from a few months to a year, to a few years. It usually depends on how much you wish to borrow, how much you’re eligible for and your financial history.
If you’ve managed credit poorly in the past, like missing or making late loan or credit card payments (that includes Buy Now, Pay Later schemes such as Klarna), this will almost certainly have affected your credit score. A low credit score, together with your credit history and affordability, can make it difficult to borrow money from traditional banks and High Street lenders if they don’t believe you’ll be a reliable customer, but your options won’t necessarily end there.
You can find specialist lenders that provide 12-month loans for bad credit for anything from £100 up to several thousand pounds, though they’ll typically come with strict repayment terms and often high interest rates. They will also likely have hidden additional charges for things such as late payments. That’s why it’s important to do your research, check the small print and always find a 12-month loans direct lender that’s authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). While 12-month bad credit loans are available from a variety of providers, those registered with the FCA will adhere to their rigorous rules and standards, giving you protection and peace of mind.
We provide loans that must be repaid in 12 equal monthly instalments. So, if you’re looking for a 0% interest loan for 12 months, you’ve come to the right place!
As a subscription finance service, rather than charging you interest (APR Rep 83.1%), we charge a fixed monthly fee instead. Our four loan membership plans range from £400 to £2,400 and come in two equal and manageable parts. We issue the first part when you request it and once you’ve paid it off, we can release the second half. Why do we provide loans for 12 months in this way?
We think this makes life a bit easier for our members, especially if this is your first time taking out a loan, or you’ve not managed credit well in the past. We believe two separate, smaller amounts rather than one large lump sum up front is generally less overwhelming for our customers, too.
You might also, for example, decide that a loan for 12 months isn’t what you want after all, so you’ll have the option to withdraw during your 14-day change-of-heart period. Flexible, or what?
Your eligibility for one of our 12-month loans will depend on several different factors. Providing you satisfy our standard criteria and are approved, you can apply for a 12-month, interest-free loan from us (APR Rep 83.1%) to suit your needs.

But it can vary with other lenders. Depending on how much you borrow and what the provider’s terms are, you may have options to pay back what you borrow over different lengths of time.
