Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I borrow as a first time customer?

We like to start small and so our first time customer limit is often £200. What you can borrow will depend on your financial circumstances. We do our work so we can find and affordable limit for you.

What if I have a bad credit history?

We deal with each application on a case by case basis. We consider all credit ratings and are able to assess affordability by other means. If you do suffer from a bad credit history we will ask for 3 months’ current bank statements to assess your current financial situation. This can be done via your online banking. We can then make a decision as to whether or not a loan is affordable for you.

What is an affordability assessment?

The affordability assessment is a look into your current financial circumstances. This will be a review of your incomings and outgoings and will require additional documentation to support what you have told us. We do this to ensure that you only borrow an amount that is comfortable for you to pay back. We aim to find an affordable credit limit that stays within your means.

How do I repay my loan?

How often you pay back will be dependent on how regular you receive your income. 

Our most popular repayment method is a Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) where we set up a recurring payment from your debit card.

If you’d prefer to speak to someone, you can call our friendly team and they will be happy to take a card payment over the phone with you each time your payment is due. We send out text reminders, just incase.

If you prefer a more personal approach, being a Doorstep Lender, we can assign you your own dedicated Agent who can visit you at your home on regular days and collect cash or take a card payment on your doorstep.

I'm struggling to pay - what do I do?

We understand that life can happen sometimes however you must contact us at the earliest opportunity and before your next payment due date.

We need to understand the reasons for you struggling to make your payment and will set up a suitable plan for you.

We look at all situations individually and will provide the necessary help to better your situation but we rely on you contacting us as soon as you feel you might fail to make your agreed payment.

Will there be any additional charges if I miss a payment?

We make sure the loan is affordable to you but we know everyone experiences difficulties and so sometimes we need a breather, however it is important that you contact us at the earliest opportunity to discuss your situation. Communication is key for us.

We assure you that you will never be subject to any additional fees or charges when your circumstances mean you have to miss a payment. You will only ever pay back what was agreed when you first took out the loans with us.

Repaying your loan on time will improve your credit score with us for future loan agreements.

Representative Example: £200 loan repayable over 6 months. 6 monthly payments of £50. Representative 332.5% APR. Total Amount Payable is £300.

All loans are subject to an affordability assessment and will require a member of our team to discuss your finances and to ensure the loan is affordable to you.
