If you find yourself in this position, please contact us as soon as possible. Our professional staff are on hand to help and we’ll work with you to arrive at a solution.
Excess mileage
Some of our agreements include terms about how far you can drive each year, and charges if you drive further than we agreed. Read more about what this means for your vehicle finance agreement here.
Understanding formal documents
If you’ve been sent a legal notice, you may see technical terms that are unfamiliar to you. Our glossary describes some of the terms we commonly use in our legal notices, to help you understand your situation.
Fair wear and tear standards
One of the options available to you at the end of your personal contract purchase (PCP) agreement is to return the vehicle or motorcycle to us. If you decide to do this, we’ll ask a third party inspect and collect company to inspect it on our behalf. For more information on what the inspect and collect company looks for in each area and what is defined as fair wear and tear, click below to download the relevant guides.
Treating customers fairly
As a responsible lender we're committed to applying the FCA’s principle of Treating Customers Fairly in all areas of our business activities. We're also a member of the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA) and follow the FLA Lending Code. This code sets out standards of good practice for the finance industry and provides our customers with reassurance that they're dealing with a reputable organization.
