What else do I need to know?

  • Typical repayment periods are over 25, 31 and 37 months.
  • The optional final payment is based on your repayment period and mileage. This can be set from 6,000 to 30,000 miles per annum.
  • The car can be up to 47 months old and 50,000 miles at the start of the agreement and must not exceed 84 months/ 100,000 miles at the end of the agreement.
  • A maximum of 50% deposit is allowed and the minimum loan amount is £3,000.
  • You will not own the vehicle until all monthly repayments are made, including the optional final payment.
  • We may choose to offer you an alternative product as part of our underwriting conditions which may include a Fixed Sum Loan with OFP. Your dealer will make you aware of this after your application for finance has been received and assessed by us

Key considerations

  • It is important that you carefully consider whether you can afford the payments and you should also consider any changes in your circumstances that might affect your ability to make the payments
  • You do not own the goods until such time as you have paid all amounts due under the agreement.
  • You will be responsible for any loss of, or damage to, or deterioration of the goods, except through fair wear and tear.
  • If the goods are a total loss because they are lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged so badly that the insurer decides they are not worth repairing you will be immediately liable for any arrears accrued before the date of the total loss and the rest of the total amount payable under the agreement less a rebate for early repayment as required by law.
  • The goods can be repossessed in the case of default. However if you have paid at least one third of the total amount payable we may not take back the goods against your wishes unless we get a court order. In Scotland we may need to get a court order at any time. If we do take the goods without your consent or a court order, you have the right to get back any money that you have paid under the agreement.
  • It is important that you keep up with the repayments due under the agreement at the times required by the agreement. If you do not, then some or all of the following may arise:
    • 1. Your credit rating may be reduced making it more difficult or expensive for you to obtain credit in the future.
    • 2. We will take steps to recover the money you owe us. This may include taking action through our collections department, a debt collection or similar agency. We may also take legal action to take back the vehicle and in some circumstances take further legal action to recover sums remaining due which may include applying for a court order for the sale of your home.
