Lots of lenders? Or just one?
If you have money worries we’re here to help manage your finances. Talk to us.
*Other loan amounts between £1,000 and £35,000 are available at different rates.
If you are an existing customer, you could combine all your borrowings into one manageable repayment, making it easier to budget. You just need to be a Bank of Scotland customer with a Bank of Scotland bank account (excluding Easycash) held for at least 1 month and you can get a personalised quote and apply online. You can still get a quote and apply if you have a credit card, a mortgage or a loan with us.
Before you apply, make sure that you’ve done your homework.
For example, try adding together the monthly repayments for all your existing debts, and comparing this to a new borrowing quote based on the total amount it would cost to pay off these debts. This could give you an idea whether you can save money, although it’s worth finding out whether paying off any of your existing debts incurs any charges or early settlement adjustmentEarly settlement adjustmentYou can fully or partly repay your loan at any time during the repayment period. If you choose to settle your loan before it’s completed its full term some of our loans may charge an early settlement adjustment. If you have taken out a Flexible Loan you agree to repay the capital plus the interest as it accrues. If you pay off your loan in full before the end of the agreed term, we'll calculate what you owe us at the time which will include capital plus interest accrued but no additional charge. If you’ve taken out any of our other loans, the amount you agree to repay includes interest that is charged to the end of the loan term. If you make an early settlement we'll reduce the charge for credit you have agreed to pay us which means you wouldn’t have to pay all of the interest. This reduction may be adjusted by up to 58 days’ interest - this is the early settlement adjustment.
Keep in mind that if you choose to extend your repayments over a longer term, you may pay more interest overall, even if the monthly repayments are lower. Your new loan may also incur a higher interest rate than you are currently paying.
You may also want to reduce credit limits on, or close, any credit cards or overdrafts that you are paying off with your new loan. This may help you manage your total debt.
