Our Commitments

1. Credit Broking Services: We will act as your Credit Broker to assist in securing a loan or finance arrangement.
2. Consumer Credit Act Compliance: Any loan or finance agreement ("Loan Agreement") we facilitate will comply with the Consumer Credit Act 1974 ("the Act"), which provides important protections for borrowers. Agreements must meet the requirements of the Act, failing which they may not be enforceable without a Court Order.
3. Personal Information: We will request and process your personal data in line with GDPR regulations. You will need to review and sign our Customer Privacy Notice to confirm your consent for us to process your data.
4. Marketing Consent: We may contact you via telephone, email, SMS, or instant messaging to provide details of products or services that may interest you. To receive such information, you must complete our Customer Marketing Consent form. Without your consent, we may be unable to share updates on relevant products and services in the future.
5. Automated Decision-Making: To process your application, we or our associate companies may use credit scoring and automated systems to assess applications, make decisions, and verify identities. This includes searches with credit reference agencies, fraud prevention agencies, employers, and the electoral register. Agencies may retain and share this information with other organisations, and joint applications may create links between your financial records.
6. Accuracy of Information: It is essential that you provide accurate information. Any false or misleading details may be recorded with fraud prevention agencies, potentially affecting your credit record. We reserve the right to reclaim losses incurred due to inaccurate information provided by you.
7. Joint Applications: If you are applying jointly, both applicants are jointly and severally liable for all obligations in the application. Where one applicant discloses financial associations, they confirm their authority to share information on behalf of the other. Joint applications may result in linked records at credit reference agencies.
8. Authority to Act: If you authorise another person to provide instructions on your behalf, any action taken based on their instructions will be binding on you. Joint applicants may act for one another unless we require joint instructions.
9. Role as Introducer: We act solely as an introducer to lenders. We do not represent lenders, and they retain discretion over loan approvals, terms, interest rates, and repayment evidence. Any examples provided are illustrative only.
10. Fees and Commission: If we introduce you to a lender that approves a loan, we may receive a commission. You agree that we may retain this commission.
11. Alternate Services: If we cannot secure a loan, we may recommend other services to meet your needs.
12. Severability: If any term is deemed illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be modified as necessary to remain valid and enforceable.
