Can I borrow a second loan if I still have an outstanding balance?
If you currently have an outstanding loan balance, we will not be able to offer you a “top-up” or second concurrent loan. Once your current loan is repaid you may be eligible to apply for a new loan; but instalment loans are considered an expensive form of borrowing and is not suitable for a long term financial solution.

What are the costs of a short term loan?
We charge the following:
Interest: 0.7% per day on the capital amount borrowed.
In the event of a missed payment:
Late Payment Fee: £15.00 – non refundable, one off. Payable if your repayment remains unpaid three days after the initial due date.
Interest: Interest on all payments at the rate of 0.7% per day subject to the total amount of interest payable under this agreement not exceeding 100% of the amount of credit provided, including all interest, fees and charges.
Court Fees: Only as per Court charges, nothing extra
Enforcement Fees: Only as per Court charges, nothing extra
We may attempt to authorise your debit card before your payment due date to ensure it is active – this is a non financial transaction and no amount is actually debited from your debit card.
How do I make a complaint?
Should you wish to make a complaint, please click on our complaints procedure on our website or contact us for further information.
Can I modify my agreement?
Your interest is calculated on a daily basis on the outstanding capital. Should you wish to modify your agreement, you can call or email us in order to make an early payment. If you wish to postpone your payment, i.e. modify your agreement, we will need to run a fresh affordability assessment before setting this up. Again, feel free to give us a ring or send us an email.
I'd like to pay early or I have paid late, what happens with my remaining payments?
You can repay early at no extra charge or fee. In the event that a payment is made outside of your contractual instalment plan, unless otherwise agreed, the amount paid will be used to clear the accumulated interest balance up till the date of that payment and the remainder of that payment will be reduced from the outstanding loan principle.
Unless otherwise agreed, the remaining loan balance will be re-amortized over the number of contractual repayments remaining as per the Agreement.
