Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will applying affect my credit score?

No. Our initial eligibility check uses a soft search, which is invisible to other lenders and has no impact on your credit score whatsoever.

I've been turned down elsewhere — can you still help?

Almost certainly yes. We specialise in helping customers who've been declined by high street banks and mainstream lenders. Our panel includes lenders who focus specifically on subprime and adverse credit.

I have a CCJ or default. Can I still apply?

Yes. CCJs, defaults, missed payments, and even bankruptcy or IVA are all considered. Every application is assessed on its individual merits.

How much can I borrow?

We can typically arrange finance from £3,000 up to £25,000 depending on your circumstances, income, and the lender's criteria.

Do I need a deposit?

Not necessarily. Several lenders on our panel offer no-deposit options. A deposit can help secure a better rate, but it's not a requirement.

How long does the whole process take?

Most customers receive a decision within 1 hour of applying. Once approved and a car is chosen, you can often drive away within 24–48 hours.
