We look at your financial history and position today, not just a credit score, so we can make a decision built on you.


Unlike most car finance providers, we don’t let a lack of credit history get in the way. We ask smarter questions to see the full picture.
Regular monthly payments are reported to credit agencies so the loan helps you build your credit score as you pay it off.

You can get a quote without leaving a mark on your credit file. We only run a hard check when you are ready to say yes.

We’ve spent years getting people fairly priced car insurance when the industry judged them on a file that was thin or foreign. Car finance has the same problem and the same fix. Rather than assuming someone is a risk because the system hasn’t met them yet, we look past what’s on paper, asking smarter questions so we can say yes when others say no.

There isn’t a specific minimum score. We look at your full financial profile to approve your loan.
So even if your score is low or you haven’t built up much history in the UK yet, you might still qualify for car finance with us.
Your privacy matters. Here’s how we help keep your data secure:
The setup fee contributes to our costs for setting up your finance agreement. It’s added to your loan balance and incurs interest at your agreement’s standard rate, unless you choose to repay it immediately – this avoids interest. The fee isn’t refundable if you settle your loan early.
If you cancel within the 14-day cancellation window, you won’t be charged this fee.
You can buy the vehicle by paying the final payment (which includes the OTP fee) if:
Yes. Get in touch and we’ll help you change your repayment date.
Yes. Get in touch and tell us you want to repay your loan. We’ll send you a quote and all the information you need.
You’ll have a set number of days to make the payment and, depending on your agreement, there may be a small early repayment fee.
If you’re worried about making payments, don’t wait to reach out. Get in touch as soon as possible. We may be able to offer:
Yes, you’ve got 14 days to change your mind. Get in touch if you want to cancel.
If you cancel within this cooling-off period, you’ll need to return any funds you’ve received. We’ll refund any interest and fees.
After 14 days, you can still repay early – just ask us for a final payoff amount.
Get in touch to update any of your personal details with us.
Changes you need to tell us about include:
Voluntary termination (VT) is your legal right under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. It lets you end your car finance agreement early if certain conditions are met.
If you’re up to date with your payments and have paid over 50% of the total amount owed, you could hand back your vehicle without paying anything more.
It’s a good option if you’re struggling with monthly payments or just want to end your agreement early.
Get in touch if you’d like to explore VT or talk through your options.
Get in touch and let us know that you’d like to see your latest figures.
We’ll send you a personalised statement showing what you’ve paid so far and how much is left.
We’re really sorry this has happened. We know how stressful it can be. But, we’re here to help.
