I took a second charge loan out with Paragon Personal Finance Ltd prior to 2014, who should I contact?
If you took out a second charge mortgage with Paragon before 2014 and have a query, please call 0345 147 9303.
What is a second charge mortgage?
Second charge mortgages are personal loans against which you offer some form of security – in our case that security is your home. Second charge mortgages are usually taken out to make home improvements, like a conservatory or extension. Some people use them for big purchases such as a car or holiday of a lifetime, and often they are used to re-organise finances and consolidate debts**
**consolidating your debt may increase the amount you pay back overall and extend the repayment period. Repaying borrowing over a longer term may increase overall interest charges – but it can help keep your repayments at a more affordable level.
What can I use a Paragon secured loan for?
Secured loans offer a convenient way of simplifying and re-organising your monthly budget by consolidating existing debts into a single loan and monthly repayments. It is often possible to raise additional cash at the same time for home improvements, a holiday, or other expenses such as a family wedding.
Although your current monthly outgoings and the interest rates you’re paying can often be significantly reduced, you should be aware that stretching your finances over a longer term could increase the overall amount of interest you’ll pay. You should discuss this with your broker at the time of application.
Is there anything I can't use a second charge mortgage for?
We won’t consider second charge mortgage applications that are for:
- Business purposes
- Cosmetic surgery
- Settlement of outstanding tax
- Installation of solar panels
- Financial speculation
- Funding towards marital settlement
What is a repayment mortgage?
A repayment mortgage is a mortgage where each monthly payment partly covers the interest due each month with the rest going towards paying off the original amount you borrowed.
