Many people are under the impression that due to the credit crunch bad credit loans are completely unavailable.

This lack of complete understanding of the situation regarding bad credit loans does make sense as after all it was to some extent due to the lax lending and slack underwriting criteria connected with bad credit loans includiing the advancing of bad credit self certification secured loans, mortgages nd remortgages which helped precipitate the current economic climate.

All through history it has been impossible for non homeowners to be accepted for a bad credit loan. Even tenants with great credit ratings find it difficult to obtain a loan now. Lenders really want some sort of security when they grant a loan.

Homeowners are in a better situation, and in fact until the advent of the credit crunch bad credit loans were quite readily available from a good range of secured bad credit loan lenders. Even homeowners with the most awful credit rating could get a bad credit loan up to a maximum LTV of 75%

Bad credit secured loans are not so easy to obtain now as they were then, but so saying there is some availability even now.

There are still bad credit loan lenders who advance bad credit loans up to a maximum LTV of 60% to 70% but these bad credit loans are for light adverse.

For homeowners with C.C.J's , defaults and mortgage arrears there are still two bad credit secured loan lenders who will consider looking at advancing a bad credit loan to homeowners with extremely bad credit files, and they accept unlimited adverse points.

The maximum LTV for these bad credit loans is 50% and the maximum loan is also restricted to a maximum loan amount of around 23,000.

These bad credit loans can really help a homeowner in a sticky situation, and can see them through the credit crunch.In the long run they can help homeowner's credit rating, and they are still available.
