6.7-Personal loan
Some lenders place restrictions on whether products are available to existing
customers or not. This is worth checking too as if you already hold a credit card
with a lender for example, they may be unwilling to offer you another.
There is little point in applying for products that you don't stand a chance of
getting, especially as the added search enquiries on your credit report will do
you no favours. Instead, you need to check the application criteria carefully to
make sure you fulfil it before you apply.
If you've already applied only to find that you did fall outside their desired
application criteria, then you'll know why you've been rejected and are free to
look elsewhere for a similar product with a more flexible application criterion
should you wish to at a later date.

6.9-Factors that lenders consider
Lenders need to determine whether you can comfortably afford your payments. Your
income and employment history are good indicators of your ability to repay
outstanding debt. Income amount, stability, and type of income may all be
considered.
