24 Month Unsecured Personal Loans
What is a 24 month loan?
Simply put, a 24 month loan is a personal loan that is repaid within a period of 2 years; it is also known as an instalment loan.
If you have a less than perfect credit history and have been pushed back by your bank, you could still borrow a loan from £1,000 to £5,000 over 24 months with 118 118 Money.
What can I use a 24 month loan for?
As with our unsecured personal loans, a loan over 24 months can be used for a wide variety of reasons. Given that the loan duration is longer than a shorter term loan, say over 12 months, it’s more suitable for a planned expense such as a new car, home renovation or holiday rather than an unexpected bill.
Another reason to take out a longer term loan could be to consolidate other existing debts. Doing this could actually make your monthly repayments lower, get you out of debt quicker and increase your chances of getting a better credit deal in the future. It should also be remembered that repaying borrowing over a longer term may increase overall interest charges, so if you are consolidating and extending the term of your borrowing, consider this.
Ultimately, whatever your reason is for taking out a personal loan, at 118 118 Money we are here to help with an unsecured personal loan to best suit you.

Paying back a loan over 24 months
