How we make lending decisions
We use credit reference agencies and open banking to help us make decisions on the loan amount and the rate charged to members.
Defaults and CCJs:
Whilst we can accept a loan if you have defaults, you’re more likely to be accepted if you haven’t missed a payment in recent months.
The same is true for County Court Judgments. An older CCJ won’t stand in your way, but more recent court action will probably prevent us from lending.
We cannot consider an application if you are currently going through bankruptcy, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement or debt relief order.
If you have recent defaults, CCJs or are insolvent do not apply for a loan. Submitting an application can actually cause your credit score to fall further because we’ll carry out a credit search.
