Fees may be payable to V12
Retail Finance in line with the terms of your credit agreement if you fail to

How do I make my monthly payments?

During the V12 application
process you will confirm your bank details for your repayments to be collected
via direct debit. You can also make overpayments by contacting V12 directly or
via your V12 self-service portal that you will be sent more information about
via email once you have successfully completed your application.

Will you credit score me and if so, what does this mean?

Credit scoring is the process by
which financial services companies evaluate the credit risk of new applicants.
This technique will be applied to your online finance application. Credit
scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form
such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from
credit reference agencies.

This information allows
consistent decisions to be provided, ensuring all applicants are treated
fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race,
religion or disability.

What does it mean when I see APR and Rate of Interest?

The 'rate of interest' is the
cost you will pay each year to borrow money, expressed as a percentage rate. It
does not reflect fees or any other charges. The 'APR' is a broader measure of
the cost of borrowing than the interest rate. The APR reflects the interest
rate, and other charges that you pay to get the loan. The FCA description of
any APR is "APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate of charge. You can
use it to compare different credit and loan offers. The APR takes into account
not just the interest on the loan but also other charges you have to pay, for
example, any arrangement fee. All lenders have to tell you what their APR is
before you sign an agreement. It will vary from lender to lender.

What happens if my application is declined?

Applications may not be accepted
for several reasons, including mis-typed information or not meeting the

adverse credit reference agency information;

your credit score;

you are considered to be overcommitted
financially; or

your existing account performance with other
