Most people look for a log book loan because they have a less than perfect credit history. Logbook loans allow you to borrow money against your car, motorcycle, van, caravan or motorhome using the V5 document. Companies will take a look at the value of your vehicle and decide how much the it is worth before providing you with a logbook loan.

You will need to give up your logbook, also known as the V5, in return for a logbook loan until the remaining amount of the loan has been fully paid back. Failure to pay back the loan could result in you losing your vehicle. Most companies will accept bad credit ratings, ccj’s and bankruptcy. The amount you want to borrow will depend on the value of your car and your personal circumstances.

There are no credit checks when you apply for a logbook loan because the loan amount is secured against the car so no other documents are required so it is possible to have the money within 24 hours. This makes it ideal for people who are looking for fast cash and have a bad credit rating or no credit rating at all.
