What does it mean when I see APR and Rate of Interest?
The 'rate of interest' is the cost you will pay each year to borrow money, expressed as a percentage rate. It does not reflect fees or any other charges. The 'APR' is a broader measure of the cost of borrowing than the interest rate. The APR reflects the interest rate, and other charges that you pay to get the loan. The FCA description of any APR is "APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate of charge. You can use it to compare different credit and loan offers. The APR takes into account not just the interest on the loan but also other charges you have to pay, for example, any arrangement fee. All lenders have to tell you what their APR is before you sign an agreement. It will vary from lender to lender.
Will you credit score me and if so, what does this mean?
Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. This technique will be applied to your application for online finance. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies.
This information allows consistent decisions to be provided, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability.
What type of information do credit reference agencies hold about me?
Some of the information is public information, for example electoral roll, County Court Judgements and bankruptcies. Other lenders may also file information about accounts you hold with them for instance this could include your payment history and outstanding balance on these accounts. Any requests for credit, where a credit reference search has been undertaken, will also be filed, although the result of the request is not recorded.
How long will it take to apply?
The V12 application form takes less than 5 minutes to complete, and you will get an instant answer on whether your application for finance has been successful. In some cases, V12 Retail Finance will need to look at the application in more detail before making their decision.
What do I need to apply?
All you need to do is select the products you wish to purchase, choose finance as your payment method at checkout, select your desired finance product and whether you want to place a deposit and then checkout. Upon checking out you will be redirected to the V12 platform to complete your finance application via their simple and quick online form. It's important you use your full name and address details and make sure everything is spelt correctly. Please note, this is an online only finance option.
If your application is accepted and you have chosen to pay a deposit with your order, you'll be asked to pay your deposit through the V12 system and then sign your finance agreement electronically.
