Can I get a £3,000 loan with bad credit?
Yes, it is possible to get a £3,000 loan with bad credit. Some loan providers consider more than just your credit score when looking at your application. They may review your overall financial situation. This includes your income and ability to make monthly repayments.
At Drafty, we look beyond your credit rating. There’s a chance you could still be approved for a loan with a low credit score or poor credit history. We use a soft credit check to assess your eligibility without impacting your credit rating. A hard credit check is only added to your credit file when you take out the loan. If approved for a Drafty loan, we’ll send the money to your bank within 90 seconds*.

How do I compare loans?
When comparing loans, it’s important to find the best option for your situation. Start by looking at the loan amount, interest rate, and representative APR to understand the total cost of borrowing. You should also consider the monthly payments. Using a loan calculator can help you estimate these and see if they fit your budget.
At Drafty, we offer 12, 18, or 24 month loans. A shorter loan term like 12 months may mean higher monthly payments, but you’ll pay less interest overall. This reduces the cost of the loan. A longer loan term like 24 months may make monthly payments more affordable, but it may result in paying more interest over time.
By comparing the terms, interest rates, and overall cost, you can choose the loan that best suits your needs and financial situation. At Drafty, we provide loans between £1,000 and £3,000, with flexible terms to help you find the right repayment plan.
FAQs – £3000 Loan
Does Drafty use a hard credit check?
During the initial application, Drafty runs a soft credit check, which lets us assess your eligibility without impacting your credit score. If you choose to borrow after approval, we will perform a hard credit check. Like other lenders, this hard search is recorded on your credit file and may temporarily affect your score.
Is Drafty personal loan unsecured?
Yes, Drafty offers an unsecured loan, meaning you don’t need to provide assets like a car or home as security. Unlike secured loans, our unsecured personal loan doesn’t require a guarantor either. A guarantor is a family member or friend who would be responsible for repayments if you couldn’t pay. With Drafty, you’re in control of your loan without needing anyone else to back it.
Is Drafty a trusted lender?
Yes, Drafty is a regulated lender and is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Our FCA registration number is 689378, meaning we follow strict rules to ensure fair and responsible lending.
Please think carefully about whether Drafty is the right solution for you. This is even more important if you're in financial difficulty. If we don't think you can afford to repay your credit, we won't be able to approve you. We'll look at your current finances and credit history before we decide whether to give you credit. Failure to repay could impact your credit file.
