Helpful Information before you apply:

  • Eligibility criteria:

    • You must be 18 or older to apply for a loan.
    • You are more likely to be accepted if you have a regular source of income and some money left over after covering your monthly loan repayment. Additionally, staying current on your existing credit commitments and managing a reasonable level of debt enhance your chances. 

  • Likely reasons for loan denial:

    • If you’ve had defaults or a County Court Judgement (CCJ) in the last year, your application may be denied.
    • If you are undergoing bankruptcy, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), or a Debt Relief Order (DRO) we may not be able to offer you a loan.

  • Financial advice:

    • If you’re currently not up to date with household bills or under any debt management plan, it’s unlikely we can provide a loan. But you can seek free debt advice from organisations like StepChange, Debt Advice Foundation or your local Citizens Advice.
