QuidLoan do not charge a fee, however, that you may be referred to a lender or a broker who charges a fee so you should check with them carefully.

We will search our panel of lenders and brokers using the information you supply when you make your application. We match this against the criteria used by lenders to accept customers. Using this information, we can match you with the provider who offers the most appropriate loan for your personal circumstances.

Once you've completed your application, we will present you with the best loan options to suit your circumstances. We like to show you the range of loan types for which you may be eligible. If your loan application is approved by one of our lenders funds can be transferred on the same day. Please note, however, that Guarantor and Logbook loans can take longer to process after approval as lenders may need to gather more information through affordability checks or valuations of vehicles. Please ask your lender directly about timescale variations.

If you are thinking of consolidating existing borrowing you should be aware that it may involve repaying a higher rate of interest, extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.
If you're struggling to repay your current credit commitments or you cannot get approved for a more affordable consolidation loan, we would recommend you seek independent debt advice from one of the debt charities. See www.stepchange.org and www.Nationaldebtline.org for more information

Depending on your circumstances, a loan may well be the right option. If you are already struggling to get by and using this loan to cover other debts, however, you may want to look at other non-lending solutions such as Debt Management Plans or Individual Voluntary Arrangements. We would recommend that you seek independent debt advice from one of the debt charities. See www.stepchange.org and www.Nationaldebtline.org for more information.

If you have a query or compliant regarding your loan or the loan agreement, then you should contact your lender directly. If you have a query or complaint about this website, you should use our Contact Us page. If you remain dissatisfied with our response to a complaint, you should contact the Financial Ombudsman Service. Further information is available at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

If your application is accepted by a lender, you will be provided with login details and instructions on how to proceed.

All applications are subject to status and checks will be undertaken. These may include credit and fraud prevention searches to find the right product for you and for your protection.

Taking out such a loan just to cover an expensive and non-essential item, or to facilitate regularly spending beyond your means on non-essential things, are not responsible forms of borrowing. The exact nature of your situation will affect the type of credit you are likely to use. A payday loan meanwhile is intended to cover urgent and essential one-time expenses, such as car repairs or unexpected costs or replacing an important appliance.

It's important to have a sense of what you are looking for, what your needs are and what kind of things you should be trying to find out as a borrower. Here are some of the consideration once you have decided to borrow money:
- Check whether you are eligible to apply for the type of credit in question if you do not in fact meet the basic eligibility requirements.
- See what information you will need when applying, and make sure this information is accurate when filling out the application form.
- Research the different options available, you should then compare the costs between different lenders for that type of credit and ensure you fully understand what all the costs will be. This includes finding out if there are any extra fees on top of the interest you will be charged on the original amount.
- Understand what impact borrowing may have on your credit history.
- Check the repayment terms of the lender you want to borrow from, including accepted methods of repayment. It's important to only take out credit which you will be able to afford the repayments on.

There are some general things we should all do to avoid scams:
- Treat all unexpected calls, emails and text messages with caution. Don't assume they're genuine, even if the person seems to know some basic information about you.
- Do not be pressured into acting quickly. A genuine bank or financial services firm won't mind waiting if you want time to think.
- Never give out your bank account or credit card details unless you are certain who you are dealing with.
- If you are buying a financial product such as a loan, insurance, investment or pension, only deal with a FCA-authorised firm - check FCA Register to see if the firm is registered. Always access the Register from FCA website, rather than through links in emails or on a firm's website (it might be part of the scam).
- Double-check the URL and contact details of a firm in case it's a 'clone firm' pretending to be a real firm, such as your bank or a genuine investment firm.
- Check the list of unauthorised firms and individuals FCA have received complaints about. If the firm isn't on that list, don't assume it's legitimate - it may not have been reported to FCA yet.
- Check your bank account and credit card statements regularly.

QuidLoan is not a lender but is a licensed credit broker. We have a wide range of lenders available to look at your application. We will submit the information you provide to a direct lender and/or brokers providers. Upon loan approval, a direct lender may require further information from you which will be collected after we transfer you to their website or they may contact you via phone or email. Not all lending partners offer up to £10,000 loans, and not all applicants will be approved for their requested loan amounts. Loan repayment periods vary by lender also.

We always recommend repaying on time but If you are struggling, or think there is a possibility that you will not be able to meet the agreed repayments, you must contact your money lender as soon as possible to avoid adverse action. They will inform you about their collection process and about any possibility to reschedule or otherwise restructure your loan repayments. QuidLoan does not engage in collection practices as lenders collect policies vary.

Additional interest and/or charges may be applied to your account if your payment is not received on the agreed due date. Your lender may want to re-assess your financial situation to understand if your late payment was a one off or likely to happen again. Lenders might look to alter your payment schedule if this could help prevent late payments from occurring again in the future. Lenders may also report late payments to Credit Reference Agencies, this could have a negative impact on your credit score and affect your ability to obtain credit again in the future.

Additional interest and/or charges may be applied to your account if a payment is missed entirely. Before you borrow money make sure you fully understand the interest rates, fees and the terms laid out in the loan agreement. If you cannot afford your agreed repayment(s), this may have a negative impact on your credit report and could affect your ability to borrow again in the future. We strongly recommend that you contact your lender in the first instance, they will need to be aware of your change in financial circumstances before they can present alternative methods of repayment to suit you. Collection processes can vary depending on your loan provider. If you do not contact your lender about your circumstances they may pass your account to a third-party collections agency, or attempt to take you to court for non-payment to register a County Court Judgment (CCJ) against you.
