Initial Disclosure Document - Consumer Credit
Your Finance Options
As an FCA-regulated credit broker, we can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products which may have different interest rates and charges. We are not an independent financial advisor. We will provide details of products available from the lenders we work with, but no advice or recommendation will be made. You must decide whether the finance product is right for you.
We do not charge you a fee for our services. Whichever lender we introduce you to, we will receive a commission from them (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow). The lenders we work with could pay commissions at different rates. However, the amount of commission we receive from a lender does not have an effect on the amount you pay to that lender under your credit agreement.
In identifying and assessing your requirements we may seek information about your personal circumstances. It is therefore important that you provide us with accurate and relevant information.
We always aim to provide a first-class service, however, if you have any cause for complaint any enquiry can be raised by contacting us using the address and telephone number below. Should you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to ask the Financial Ombudsman Service to review your case. You should write to the Financial Ombudsman Service: Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London, E14 9SR.
