We are not an independent financial advisor and so are unable to provide you with independent financial advice. We are, however, independent of the funders and brokers we work with.
Do you have to pay for our service or do we receive any commission?
You done have to pay us for our service. But a funder or broker we work with may pay us for introducing you to them. Different funders/brokers may pay us different amounts but it will typically be based on a fixed percentage of the amount borrowed. This percentage may vary according to different factors, for example: the amount if credit; age or type of vehicle; the type of finance product; or the funder’s assessment of the risk of lending. For your reassurance, we are not able to change the interest rate you pay in order to receive more commission from a particular broker or funder.
Although rates and commissions may vary between our finance partners, our aim is always to secure finance from them which is appropriate to your circumstances and at the lowest interest rate available. If we are successful in obtaining an offer of finance for you and you would like to know the amount (or likely amount) we would receive if you decide to go ahead with the agreement and how that amount has been calculated, please contact us.
How will we use your information?
By providing us with your personal credit details, you will be giving us authority to submit a credit application on your behalf to our credit providers, each of which may record a search on your credit file. We will only pass your details onto a subsequent credit provider if the initial application to the first credit provider is not successful.
Rates will be either fixed, based on the lender or based on your credit score. Fixed rates are determined by our contractual agreement with the finance supplier and the supplier cannot change this rate. Credit score-based rates are pre-set but are also linked to your individual credit rating. Typically, the higher your credit score, the lower the APR you will receive from a credit provider.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
