To even start thinking about a loan, you need to meet the conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone tries to find the best offer for every financial part of our life. But in the world of loans, it works the opposite way. If you check offers in many places, all banks can see it. This can cause your personal number to be blocked. Try to apply only once every 30 days, or better, every 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have loans with short repayment periods and interest over 25%. These loans are almost impossible to refinance. Just having them lowers your loan ability almost to zero. If you want a better loan from a bank, avoid these loans and pay them off before applying (even using products you already have but do not use, like a credit card).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banks check your income by logging into Skatteetaten and looking at the number of your tax reports (skatteoppgj\u00f8r). It is best to have at least 3 reports. If you have none or only one, the chance to get a loan is very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have debt in collection, you cannot get any loan. Pay it off or refinance it in your mortgage (we can help with this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n These two types of income very often cause rejection of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some banks allow refinancing only a few loans. If your list of loans is long, even with small amounts, you may be rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banks will not let you borrow more than you earn. This is logical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have a credit line like a credit card or flexible loan with a high limit that you do not use. Banks see this as a normal loan. Reduce your limit to the real amount you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How many applications are \u201ctoo many\u201d?<\/strong> Do credit cards count if I don\u2019t use them?<\/strong> Can I get a loan while on dagpenger\/permittering?<\/strong> How long should I live in Norway before applying?<\/strong>![\"loans](\"https:\/\/www.motty.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/loans-rejected-in-norway-tips-and-requirements-new-info.png\")
