Limitations
When acting as a loan or finance broker we seek to get a lender or financier to offer you a loan or finance. We will endeavour to obtain for you a Loan in the amount you have requested. As a Broker and not a direct lender, we do not guarantee to obtain for you any of, or the full amount of any loan as first requested, as all loan offers are subject to your own personal circumstances. To clarify this, any amount of loan offered by a Lender will therefore be deemed as an acceptable offer of a Loan for you, no matter the amount offered. We aim to match your loan or finance application with one or more of the bank of lenders or financiers we deal with. We do not act on behalf of the lenders or financiers or represent them in any way. For your protection we require the documentation covering any loan or finance agreement to meet statutory and regulatory safeguards laid down by the Consumer Credit Acts 1974 and 2006. If you would like to know more about the protections and remedies provided under those Acts please contact your local Trading Standards Department or The Citizens Advice Bureau. We are regulated by the (FSA) The Financial Services Authority.
We do not offer loans or finance directly. Only the lenders or financiers decide whether to approve loan or finance applications, how much to lend or finance, at what interest rate, on which terms and on what evidence of ability to repay. Where we give examples they are only illustrations. We do not warrant that examples are the actual rates and amounts because the lenders or financiers ultimately decide whether to give approval for any loan or finance and on what terms they decide according to your specific circumstances.
Communication
Unless you inform us differently, you agree to us using telephone, email, SMS, fax and/or post to contact you to discuss products and services without having first been expressly invited to do so. This will override any registrations you may have with any preference services. To communicate in writing we may use the last postal address you give us. Please note that to improve our service we record all, and may monitor telephone conversations with you for security, training and evidential purposes.
Checks
When trying to source you a loan or finance and make decisions about them or provide any other services, we or associate companies (including lenders and financiers) may use credit scoring or other automated systems to assess your application, make decisions and verify your identity. These systems include searching your records with credit reference agencies, employers, fraud and money laundering prevention agencies and the electoral register as well as providing them with information. These agencies can add your details to their records for other organizations to do searches. Where there are joint clients, both records are processed by the agencies and a link between you can be created.
To help our fraud prevention and data protection strategy, you agree to us and any of our associate companies, credit reference agencies and selected third parties processing and using personal data (whether provided electronically, in writing or orally) you give us. You agree to us using the data to advise you of other products and services unless you notify us to the contrary. The information you give us must be true and accurate.

Jargon Explanations
Picking the right loan for you can be tricky enough without feeling overwhelmed by the range of financial jargon surrounding these products.
So let us help you with some Key Terms:
APR: This stands for Annual Percentage Rate and is used on lending such as credit cards, loans and mortgages. The purpose of an APR is to show the total cost of borrowing over the period of an average year so, as well as interest, the figure includes upfront fees and charges. This makes it easier to compare deals.
Car loan: This is a short-term personal loan taken specifically to buy a car. It works in a similar fashion to standard personal loans, with repayments subject to interest over a fixed number of years.
CCJ: This stands for a County Court Judgement (CCJ). It is issued by a County Court for failing to repay a loan or outstanding debt, and will have a negative impact on your credit rating and may affect your ability to get a loan or mortgage.
Credit rating: This is the ‘score’ given to you depending on your personal credit history. So if you’ve always kept up repayments on any form of credit you’ve had, you’ll have a good credit rating, whereas if you’ve failed to meet payments or, say, have a CCJ against your name, your credit rating is likely to be poor.
Debt consolidation loan: This is one large loan taken out to pay off a number of loans or debts, so borrowers can manage their repayments and get back on track.
Early repayment penalty: This may be charged by the lender if you decide to pay off your loan early, before the term set when applying for the loan. It usually applies to mortgages.
Hire Purchase: A way of buying goods, such as a car, without the total cost to hand, and making instalments over a certain time period.
Payday loan: A short-term small loan – of, say, £100 over two weeks – with a typically very high interest rate as an advance on your salary payment.
Secured loan: This is a personal loan secured against an asset, such as your home. Given they come with security – so if you fail to make repayments your home could be at risk – the interest rates tend to be lower than for unsecured loans.
Unsecured loan: This is a personal loan taken out by a borrower over a fixed term, and available from a bank, building society or high street lenders without security. You agree to borrow a lump sum and make regular repayments to the lender.
Whatever financial product you’re choosing, it’s important to understand the finer detail to make sure you’re picking the right one for you – and know what you’re signing up for, so make sure you get to grips with Terms and Policies
