What is a Personal Line of Credit?

Personal Line of Credit Defined

A personal Line of Credit is a predetermined credit limit that a lender offers a borrower to draw from, without underwriting, for a specified period. The borrower has complete control over the funds and can draw as little or as much as they need, up to their predetermined credit limit. With a Line of Credit, you can draw the entire limit or take out small amounts whenever required. All you’re obligated to do is pay interest on the amount borrowed and to repay the principal borrowed at the end of the draw period. To avoid paying too much interest, it’s best that you repay the amount borrowed in addition to the interest. Moreover, as soon as you repay borrowed funds, they are made available for borrowing again, and you can repeatedly borrow and refund them on a revolving basis until the draw period elapses.

How to Use a Personal Line of Credit

From our earlier definition of a personal Line of Credit, we established that the borrower gets complete control over the credit limit for the length of the draw period. You may use the funds for a wide variety of purposes, such to pay for everyday expenses when funds are running low, to cover emergency expenses in the absence of an emergency fund, and to consolidate smaller debts into a single easy repayment. You could also use your Line of Credit to pay for emergency costs when you travel or go on vacation. However, although you have autonomy over the credit, it’s wise to only draw what you need and not as a replacement of your regular income source. It’s not wise to use a line of credit to support impulsive or addictive behaviors, either.
