Can I use the 500 pounds for any purpose?

Absolutely! At Instant Lolly, we understand that sometimes there may be occasions when you need to borrow 500 pounds — and for whatever reason. That is why there are no restrictions on what you spend the money on.


Can I apply for a £500 loan with bad credit?

If you have a poor credit history, then you may be worried that you might not be approved for a loan. That is not always the case. We understand that sometimes financial glitches happen — this doesn’t automatically mean we won’t be able to help you.

Provided you meet the eligibility criteria and can show that you will comfortably be able to repay the loan over the agreed period, then our lenders will be very happy to consider your application.

Should our personal loan lenders decide they cannot lend you the £500 requested, you may receive an offer of a lower amount or the option of a guarantor loan.

However, as a responsible company, we also reserve the right to refuse any loan application where we believe it is not in a customer’s best interests to take out borrowing.


Can I borrow £500 without a credit check?

Sorry, £500 loans with no credit check do not exist. All UK lenders must carry out proper affordability checks before agreeing a loan, regardless of how small the amount.

However, when you apply with Instant Lolly, you can check your eligibility with up to fifty £500 loan direct lenders without leaving a visible mark on your credit file.

To check your eligibility, our lenders perform soft searches to decide how successful your application would be. Unlike hard searches, soft searches have no impact on your credit score or future credit applications.

Only when you take up an offer will the lender make a complete search of your credit report, which will be visible to other searchers for 12 months.


What repayment terms are available for £500 loans?

At Instant Lolly, we can help with £500 payday loans and short-term (instalment) loans, giving you repayment options from one to 24 months. Simply choose the most appropriate term for your circumstances.

The original sum borrowed plus interest will usually be repaid in fixed monthly instalments — so you can plan ahead and budget.


Can I borrow more or less than £500?

Of course you can! As a responsible finance company, we would never recommend you borrow more than you actually need and that is why we offer small loans starting from £100.

Should you need more than 500 pounds, you may be pleased to know that we offer loans up to £3000.

What's more, our smaller loans are available in multiples of just £100, so you are sure to find a loan that fits your needs perfectly.
