Smart Cash - You can fix your credit score

A payday loan gets its name because this type of loan needs to be repaid by your next payday. The payment is debited from your account on the agreed-upon date.

A payday loan is a perfect solution for when you need extra cash to make it until payday. The only disadvantage is that the full amount needs to be paid back on your next payday. This can sometimes lead you deeper into debt, especially if you were already struggling in the first place.

Helping you make sense of your credit report

Understanding your credit report is very important and you should make sure that you have looked at your credit report and understand it before you apply for a loan. Every time you apply for an online loan or open a credit account your credit report will be checked.

In New Zealand, there are 3 different companies that you can contact to get a free credit report for free.

  • Centrix
  • Dun and Bradstreet
  • Equifax

Your credit report contains information that details your payment history, including information on your credit cards, mortgages; car financing, hire purchase, or any outstanding debt and defaults. The report will also list financial information on payments for your electricity, gas, and your phone.

When you check your credit report, this won’t negatively impact your credit score. Any errors that you find should be reported immediately so that they can be rectified.

Long-term effects of bad credit

Once you have a bad credit score it can be difficult to obtain loans, if you default on a payment it will be listed in your credit report, and even once you have settled the dispute.

This information will be recorded and will remain on your credit report for up to 5 years. Your credit score is a number that is given to you according to how much of a risk it would be to grant you a loan and how likely you are to repay the loan without any issues.
