What you can't use your loan for

We don't offer Personal Loans for a number of purposes including:

the purchase of property or land (both UK & Overseas) including holiday homes and apartments
purchasing a joint stake in a property or buying out a joint owner
mortgage deposit (regardless of lender or country)
gifting funds to third parties to support the purchase of a property, including mortgage deposit, stamp duty and solicitors fees

Fixed repayment terms

spread your repayments over 1 to 5 years for Personal Loans of £15,000 and less
spread your repayments over 1 to 8 years for Personal Loans of over £15,000
the first repayment is due 1 month from drawdown
repayments will be taken monthly from your nominated current account

Debt consolidation considerations

if you're using any part of this loan to pay off or reduce existing loans/debts (including combining these into a single loan), it's important to consider not just the interest rate and monthly repayments, but also the term of this loan compared to the remaining term of your existing loans/debts
spreading your payments over a longer term means you could end up paying more overall than under your existing arrangements, even if the interest rate on this new loan is less than the rates you're currently paying
you should also consider if any early repayment charges apply and if this form of borrowing is appropriate for your circumstances

Interest

at the beginning of the loan we work out the interest you'll pay over the whole period of your loan and add this to your loan balance

Early repayments

you can repay your loan in full at any time by giving us notice in writing, by visiting a branch or by calling us on 03457 404 404
once you've given us notice, we'll give you a settlement figure. It's necessary to pay all the amounts owed if you wish to close the loan
if you make an early repayment there may be a reduction in the amount of interest you'll have to pay and this will be reflected in the settlement figure
the settlement figure will include interest up to the date which is 28 days after you tell us you want to repay the loan, plus an additional month

Responsible lending

If you think there might be a change in your circumstances that could increase your outgoings or reduce your disposable income, please contact us by phone or in branch for further guidance. Changes to consider are:

employment changes such as imminent retirement, maternity, paternity or extended leave
reduction in working hours, fixed contract end dates or zero hour contracts
an increase in living costs such as rent or mortgage repayments
