WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WANTED TO END MY AGREEMENT WITH YOU EARLIER THAN STATED IN MY FINANCE AGREEMENT?

If you wanted to pay off the remaining balance earlier than outlined in your agreement with us you would need to contact our Customer Care team, who would calculate an early settlement quotation for you.

The way in which this is calculated would depend on the type of financial agreement you had with us.If, like most of our customers, your agreement was regulated by the Consumer Credit Act, your settlement amount would be calculated using a formula set out in the Consumer Credit Act.

If you would like to know more about this amount is calculated, a leaflet produced by the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA) entitled ‘Repaying Your Loan Early’ is available from their website at www.fla.org.uk. Simply click on ‘Consumer Guidance’.
