-
How should
I make my repayments?
-
Typically, they are taken by Direct Debit.
-
When
is the date of my first repayment?
-
Your first payment will normally be made one month
from the date we sign your agreement. This will be confirmed when you receive
your second copy of the agreement which should arrive within a few days of
signing. If the date is not acceptable to you, it is possible to change the due
date, but this may incur a small charge.
-
Can you
change my payment date?
-
It is possible for your payment date to be changed
to a more suitable date, but your request does need to be confirmed to us in
writing. Dates can only be changed after your first payment has been made.
-
Can I
confirm my method of payment?
-
The method of payment should be confirmed
before you sign your contract. However, if you are still unsure, you
should check if you have signed a direct debit mandate with your agreement.
-
Can I check you have
the correct bank details?
-
You should always double check that your bank
details are correct before you sign your agreement and that the direct
debit mandate details are fully completed and correct. (dd mandates only apply
if you are paying by Direct Debit).
-
If I need copies of the documentation, for example for
tax purposes, can these be obtained?
-
Yes, we are happy to provide copy documents .You
just need to use our customer service form.
-
Can I
settle my agreement at any time?
-
Settling your agreement with us is very simple. Just
call our customer services department, quoting your agreement number and one of
our friendly advisors can arrange for you to otain an early settlement
figure.
-
Can I pay more than
my contracted monthly amount to finish my agreement early?
-
It is not generally advisable on a fixed rate
agreement for you to make extra small payments. However, a lump sum payment may
enable us to reschedule the remaining balance and reduce the term of the
agreement or monthly amount. Requests for reschedules should be confirmed to
our customer services department in writing.
-
What happens if I am unable to make
payments?
-
If you are having problems making payments, please
contact us right away using our customer service form. The sooner you let us
know, the more likely we will be able to help you.
-
Can I transfer the agreement to someone else?
-
There are tight controls on transfers of agreement
so please contact us first to discuss, using our customer
service form.
-
Why do I have to pay a credit facility fee?
-
All finance houses charge an initial Documentation
fee. This is collected with the first repayment to offset some of the costs in
preparing the paperwork and documentation for setting up an
agreement. Credit documentation fees are payable either by direct debit or cheque,
depending on your agreed method of payment.
-
What happens if someone is injured by the
asset(s)?
-
You must have comprehensive insurance to cover use
of asset(s) and injury or damage to third parties.
-
What
happens if I want to keep the asset(s) at a new location?
-
Generally, this is not a problem. Simply notify us
in writing of the new address where the asset(s) is/are to be kept. Under
Finance and Operating Lease agreements, you will need our permission before
relocating the asset(s). Also, you cannot part with possession of the asset(s)
unless this was agreed at the time the agreement was made.
