Bad Car Credit Loan When secured loan lenders advertise their interest rate they quote what is commonly known as the APR (Annual Percentage Rate). The APR is used to ensure that the potential borrower is aware of the `true cost’ of the secured loan and that the percentage rate quoted includes any hidden costs (e.g. set up fees, commission). In the case of PPI the APR only has to include insurance costs if taking out a policy for the loan being advertised is not optional.

The Post Office has launched a new payment protection insurance (PPI) scheme that should help to boost consumer awareness of the product.

Auto Bad Credit Loan Nearly every secured loan provider charges differently for payment protection insurance. This may be based on which company ultimately provides the cover and other factors like age, risk and the size of the secured loan being covered.

For example, two competing secured loan providers could quote APRs of 8.5% and 9.0%. The average person would assume that the quoted rate of 8.5% would be cheaper, but there is every chance their insurance cover will be far costlier and you may discover that the company quoting an APR of 9.0% will actually provide a cheaper loan (i.e. lower monthly repayments and less money to pay back).

Bad Credit Mortgage Second Given that secured loan providers nearly always make their insurance cover optional means there is nothing stopping you going to a specialist to provide the insurance cover. Remember that if a secured loan provider does not include insurance costs in the quoted APR then they cannot lawfully refuse you a loan simply based on your refusal to take out PPI with them.

Bad Credit Loan Student Given the rise in secured loans and therefore the requirement for insurance cover there are an increasing number of companies beginning to sell standalone PPI policies. They normally quote cover as a cost per £100 of your monthly repayment e.g. quoting £5 per £100 means if your monthly repayments are £200 it will cost you £10 for the PPI. It is worthwhile bearing in mind that most secured loan companies provide PPI at a cost of £10 to £30 per £100 of cover required.

Bad Card Credit Although you must always investigate the excess fees (e.g. it may take one month for the insurance payments to kick in) and whether a standalone insurance provider varies their fees based on factors like age it is worthwhile looking at companies like Paymentcare and Payprotect who advertise rates as low as £4.50 per £100 of cover required.
