Getting around Leicester
Ring roads, the M1 and the Soar valley.
Leicester is a lively city on the River Soar, with Abbey Park and Victoria Park close to the centre. Its outer ring road links Birstall, Glenfield, Oadby and Wigston, the M1 and M69 meet just to the south west, and the A46 skirts the western side, so drives out to Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough are straightforward.
If the vehicle you rely on is paid for and free of finance, its value could secure a loan of £1,000 to £50,000. You keep the keys and carry on using it for work, family and everything else while you repay.
How it works in Leicester
How the hours usually add up.
You can apply online at any hour of the day. Once your application is in, an underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours to go through it with you. If you are approved, for most loans a signing agent visits, usually within 3 working hours of approval, to witness the Bill of Sale.
Once the signing agent has witnessed the Bill of Sale and taken a photo of you with the vehicle for identity purposes, we send the money to your bank account by bank transfer. From your application to the payout, the whole process is usually complete within 24 working hours.
If you fall behind
Talk to us as early as you can. We will work with you to find a good outcome, such as a payment arrangement or a reduced repayment plan. Repossession is only ever a last resort.
Your car may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a loan secured against it.
Questions from Leicester drivers
How quickly could I get the money?
Apply online at any time: an underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours, and the whole process is usually complete within 24 working hours.
Will checking my quote affect my credit score?
No. Getting your quote uses a soft credit search with TransUnion, which does not affect your credit score.
Can I apply from Loughborough, Hinckley or elsewhere in Leicestershire?
Yes. We lend across Leicestershire and the rest of the UK. You apply online, we speak to you by phone, and a signing agent visits you to witness the Bill of Sale.
Can I apply in the evening or at the weekend?
Yes. The application is online and open at any time. The underwriter call usually comes within 2 working hours, so an application made late at night or on a Sunday is picked up during working hours.
Borrowing responsibly. We only lend when the repayments are affordable for you. Our service is not advised, so if you are worried about money you can get free, impartial help from MoneyHelper, StepChange or Citizens Advice.
Across the UK
We lend wherever you live.
Everything happens online and by phone, so you can apply from anywhere in the UK. Find out more about borrowing elsewhere in the East Midlands:
