Frequently Asked Questions

CUEFIN LTD t/a 123Loan

What are the interest rates or APR?

APR is the rate of the total charge for credit expressed as an annual percentage of the total amount of the credit. We will show you typical repayments and representative APRs but the final figures will depend on the lender, the specific terms of your loan, and your individual financial circumstances.

Do you take a fee?

123Loan does not require a fee for its services. Please note, however, that you may be referred to a lender or a broker who charges a fee so you should check with them carefully

Is my loan guaranteed?

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.

How do you find me a loan?

We will search our panel of lenders 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.

Why have I been made a different final offer from the one provided in your quote?

This could happen if the information you have provided is not correct or if a lender's additional checks have shown a lower than average credit score. We are happy to obtain your credit records for you or you may wish to contact the major credit reference agencies (Experian, Equifax or Callcredit) for additional information. There may be some anomalies on your credit report which are hindering your search for a loan.

What do we do?

I have completed the application. What happens next?

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

How long will it take me to get a loan?

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.

Do I need a guarantor?

Only if the loan offer is a Guarantor Loan a guarantor is required. A guarantor is someone who agrees to back up your guarantor loan and steps in to make repayments if you don’t. Guarantors are usually friends or family members as these are the people who know you best.

- You are at least 18 years of age

I am getting this loan to consolidate my debts, is there anything you can do to help?

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

I am in debt. Is a loan the best option for me?

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.

Term of Repayment and APR

The loans offered through lending platform on this website have minimum repayment terms of 1 month and maximum repayment terms of 36 months and not all lending partners offer up to £10,000 loans, and not all applicants will be approved for their requested loan amounts. APR rates range from 45.3% APR to 1575% APR. The rate is subject to change and the representative APR may not be the rate you'll receive. The rate you pay depends on your circumstances and loan amount, and may differ from the Representative APR.

Collection process

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. 123Loan does not engage in collection practices as lenders collect policies vary.

Late payment

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.

Implications of Non-Payment

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.

Renewals policy

If you wish to renew your loan, please discuss this with your lender in advance. Most lenders will charge the same rate of interest and fees for another month on the entire amount owed. In the event of non-payment, a loan renewal/extension could be automatic and further interest and/or charges may be added to your account.
