How could CashLady help to match me with Moneyboat?

CashLady is a credit broker, and we cannot match applicants with a specific lender on request. When you complete CashLady’s online form, we’ll scan our panel of over 30 lenders for a loan that could suit your financial needs.
If your credit score is looking worse for wear, you could be matched with a lender that specialises in bad credit loans, such as Moneyboat.

Using a credit broker could save you the hassle of potentially applying to many lenders. In addition to this, CashLady uses soft search technology to look for your loan, which will not harm your credit score.*

Could I apply for a loan with Moneyboat?

You can make an application for a loan with Moneyboat if you:

    • Are over the age of 18;
    • Are a UK resident;
    • Have a UK bank account and debit card; and
    • Have a regular income of at least £1,000 a month.

Do Moneyboat accept applications from people with bad credit?

You could be considered for a loan with Moneyboat, even if you have a history of bad credit.
Moneyboat assesses each application on an individual basis, and when it comes to your financial situation, they will look at the whole picture rather than just your credit score.

While it’s not impossible to get a loan with bad credit, you should take a step back and think very carefully before you decide whether to make an application. Due to the possibility of a higher rate of interest, a bad credit loan could work out as an expensive type of borrowing.

You should never borrow more money than you need or can afford to repay.

What happens if I can’t afford to repay my Moneyboat loan?

If you’ve taken out a loan with Moneyboat and you’re struggling to make your monthly repayments, you should contact the customer service team as soon as possible.
On their website, Moneyboat states the following:

“Our staff are always available to discuss ways in which we can help when things don’t go quite as planned. Should an alternative repayment plan be required we’ll be happy to assist.”

Please note that a missed repayment will result in a charge of £15 within three days of the agreed repayment date. You can find out more about late or missed payment fees here.

If you need financial advice or are concerned about your current level of debt, the following charities and organisations offer free, impartial advice: StepChange, MoneyHelper, Citizens Advice, and National Debtline.

Could I pay off my Moneyboat loan early?

Yes, you can – and the great news is that Moneyboat do not charge any fees for early repayments.

I’ve been approved for a loan with Moneyboat; when will I receive my money?

While your loan can be sent within this timeframe, the time it takes for the money to show in your account will depend on your bank’s policies and procedures.
