I have several financings, can I hire one more?

Depending on some factors, it is possible to apply for a personal loan even with other debts.  

To do this, banks will need to assess your financial capacity and overall economic situation before approving the loan.  

These are some of the points that institutions consider:  

Effort rate

Banks will need to assess your effort rate, meaning the percentage of your monthly income available after payment of other debts. The ideal percentage should ideally be up to 30%. Therefore, adding a new debt cannot exceed this limit.

Stability

Next, banks will need to analyze your professional situation to determine your financial stability.  

Credit rating

Another factor that banks analyze is your "score", that is, your credit rating. If you have a positive credit history, paying your debts regularly and without delays, the higher the likelihood of approval. Otherwise, it may reduce your chances of hiring new credit.

Type and value of current debts  

Even though you have financial capacity, the type and amount of current debts you have are also evaluated. For example, credit card debts have higher interest rates, which can be a greater risk for banks.

Guarantees / guarantor

If you have additional guarantees, such as a guarantor, it will give banks greater security knowing that if you default, they can collect from another dividend.

- Renegotiation or consolidation  

If financial institutions notice that you are already having trouble facing current debts, when applying for a new personal loan, they may suggest renegotiating the terms of your loans or consolidating them into one consolidated loan. This will allow you to pay a lower monthly installment, providing greater financial availability in your budget (even possibly eliminating the need to take out a new loan).

So, yes, it is possible to contract a new personal credit having other debts, as long as all these factors are taken into account. Having healthy finances and an ideal effort rate will facilitate the process, avoiding being overwhelmed by debts.
