 Is this loan right for me? - A Norwich Trust loan may be suitable if you are a UK homeowner looking for an unsecured fixed-rate loan and can afford the monthly repayments for the full term. It may not be suitable if you are struggling with essential bills, already missing repayments, or if extending borrowing would increase the total cost of credit in a way that is not affordable to you. If you have experienced recent defaults, missed payments or CCJs, eligibility will depend on your individual circumstances and affordability assessment.

Frequently asked questions about Debt Consolidation loans

A debt consolidation loan can be used to combine multiple existing debts into one single monthly repayment.
Many UK borrowers use debt consolidation loans to pay off:
• Credit cards 
• Personal loans 
• Store cards 
• Overdrafts 
• Other unsecured debts 
This can help simplify repayments and make budgeting easier.

 

Norwich Trust offers debt consolidation loans from £3,000 to £25,000, subject to affordability and eligibility requirements.

The amount you may be able to borrow will depend on your individual circumstances, including your income, existing financial commitments and overall affordability.

 

Yes. You can apply online through Norwich Trust Limited using a quick and simple digital application process.

 

 

Norwich Trust offers loan repayment terms ranging from 3 to 10 years, depending on the amount you borrow and your individual circumstances.

A longer repayment term can help reduce your monthly repayments by spreading the cost of borrowing over a longer period. However, borrowing over a longer term may increase the total amount repayable as interest is charged for longer.

All applications are subject to affordability and eligibility requirements.

 

 

It may be possible to get a debt consolidation loan with bad credit, depending on your individual circumstances and affordability. Norwich Trust specialises in helping UK homeowners who may have experienced credit challenges in the past.

Having a poor credit history does not automatically mean your application will be declined. We may be able to consider applications from homeowners with a history of:

  • Missed payments
  • Defaults
  • County Court Judgments (CCJs)
  • Other adverse credit issues

All applications are assessed individually and are subject to eligibility, affordability and responsible lending checks.

 

We do a soft credit search when we check your eligibility which won't affect your credit score and won't appear if other firms do a credit search. If your loan is approved, the search will become a "hard search", at which point it will appear on your credit file and may affect your credit score.
