Banks Increase Loan Rates Despite Record Low Base Rate

Banks are ramping up loan rates in a bid to rebuild their profits.

Although the Bank of England base rate remains at a record 0.5 per cent low, banks have increased their profit margins to the highest level since the crisis began.  Among the worst offenders are banks that have received billions of pounds in government help, says financial information website Moneyfacts.

Northern Rock, the nationalised bank, has increased the interest on its five-year fixed rate deal by 0.6 per cent to 6.29 per cent.  Eddy Weatherill of the Independent Banking Advisory Service said: “The banks are refilling their coffers at consumers’ expense.”

Pawnbrokers used to suffer from a rather negative image.  Not any more! These days, it’s the traditional lenders who are giving regular bank loans, overdrafts and credit card services a bad image!

Pawn loan interest rates are never hiked during the period of a loan - regardless of changes in the bank rate - or anything else!  UK pawnbrokers are carefully regulated by the UK government, and all pawn contracts are approved by the Office of Fair Trading - so you can be sure of every possible legal protection.

Unlike regular secured loans or unsecured loans - pawn loans can never get out of control.  Pawn loans have no admin or setup charges, early settlement fees, late payment fees or default penalties.  When all the extras are added to a missold bank loan or credit card bill, and the compound interest is added, it can often be more expensive - and dangerous - than a pawn loan.

Even if you decide not to pay off or extend a pawn loan, you will never suffer adverse credit ratings, debt collectors, court actions, asset seizures or repossessions.
