Putting together a solid file is one of the criteria for obtaining a private loan! Financial institutions will ask you to justify your situation before granting you a loan. They will need various official documents with which to study your borrowing capacity. These documents will also be used to set the terms and conditions of your loan. In this article, Lica explains what documents you need to gather before submitting your private credit application.
What documents do I need to obtain credit?
Your ID
The lending institution will identify you before granting you a loan. It will record your personal details. To do this, we will ask you for a copy of your official identity document (ID card, passport, residence permit). It is important to provide a valid document. The copy of your identity document must also be clear and perfectly legible on both sides.
To make it easier for you, Lica will also make this certified copy only once a financing agreement has been reached with a lending institution. In this way, we avoid wasting your time unnecessarily.
Your pay slips and professional status
The first step in checking the feasibility of your credit application is to verify your salary. Banks will usually ask for your last 3 pay slips. It's important not to confuse pay slips with salary certificates. Thanks to your pay slips, lending institutions will know that you are in an employment relationship and that you will be able to meet your monthly repayments.
Sometimes Lica also requires proof of your employment status (employee, pensioner or self-employed). This step is not intended to constrain you, but to enable us to better understand your situation. This makes it easier for us to negotiate with lending institutions.
Proof of residence and rent
A copy of your lease or mortgage contract (if you're a homeowner) will be requested to justify your rent and find out where you live. This will also enable Lica to calculate your budget as accurately as possible and obtain the most advantageous terms possible. For banks, verifying your legal address will also help ensure that you're in good standing. solvency. It will also ensure continuity in correspondence in the event of non-payment, for example.
The documents you need to obtain credit vary according to your situation
Although you will always be asked to provide the three above-mentioned documents, it will often be the case that additional information is required to complete your application. Because every situation is unique, Lica will always take the time to get to know you before preparing a file. Perhaps you think this is a waste of time? In reality, this process of getting to know you will save you precious time!
