    RESPONSIBLE LENDING STATEMENT

     

    We have a responsibility to you, our customers, to be open and honest, to treat you fairly, and to be safe and secure.

    These principles affect everything we do. The way we lend money is no exception. This page tells you about our approach. It also outlines what we ask of you in return.

    If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to ask.

     

    What you can expect from us as a responsible lender:

    • Products and lending criteria designed to meet your needs.
    • Competitively priced products which we promote in a balanced way showing the risks as well as the benefits.
    • Clear information on the cost of your borrowing, any fees and charges and our terms and conditions.
    • An assessment of your ability to make regular payments and repay the loan, using appropriate credit assessment techniques, before providing credit.
    • A limit on your borrowing that we believe will ensure you don't overstretch your finances and which will allow for some increase in expenditure.
    • Under strict controls we may share credit data with other lenders both to improve the quality of our decisions and to reduce the risk of you becoming over-committed.
    • Your personal information treated confidentially and in accordance with Data Protection legislation.
    • Prompt and professional handling of any queries or complaints you may have.
    • considerate treatment of payment issues and arrears
