Getting around south Essex
Between the A127, the A13 and the estuary.
Southend stretches along the Thames Estuary, from the cockle sheds and old town at Leigh-on-Sea, past Chalkwell and Westcliff to its famous pier and on to Shoeburyness. Rochford and Rayleigh lie inland, Hadleigh Castle looks out over the estuary, and the A127 and A13 carry traffic towards Basildon and London.
If you own your vehicle and it is free of finance, its value can secure a loan without you giving it up. You keep the keys and keep driving along the seafront while you repay, and we lend across south Essex and the rest of the UK.
How it works in Southend
From hatchbacks to vans and motorbikes.
We lend on cars, vans and motorbikes, so whether you drive a family hatchback, a van for your trade or a bike for the commute, it could be eligible. Cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted, and your quote shows what you could borrow.
Whatever you drive, it needs to belong to you and be completely free of outstanding finance. It should be in good mechanical and cosmetic order, with valid tax, MOT and insurance, and there can only be one logbook loan on it at a time.
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 Southend-on-Sea 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.
Do you cover Basildon, Rayleigh and the rest of south Essex?
Yes. We lend across south Essex and the rest of the UK. You apply online and speak to us by phone, wherever you live.
Does my vehicle need a valid MOT?
Yes. Your vehicle needs valid tax, MOT and insurance, and it must be in good mechanical and cosmetic order.
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 of England:
