FAQs - Your Loan Explained

The exact information you'll need to provide will depend on what you're looking to purchase.                                  

Usually we need to know your:
• personal details (name, address, date of birth, etc.)
• contact details (phone and email)
• employment details (income, place of employment, etc.)

Retailers will also need to see:
• proof of identity (e.g. passport)
• proof of address (e.g. a statement from your bank or an energy company)

In the UK, companies called credit reference agencies (CRAs) compile information on how you manage credit and make your payments. When you apply for finance, we'll carry out a search with Experian, Equifax and/or TransUnion to help make a lending decision. This search remains on your credit file for up to 12 months.

CRAs will create an information summary about you, in the form of a credit score, which includes:

• a list of your credit accounts
• details of your payments history
• how much credit you have available
• details of your net monthly income
• public records such as county court judgements (CCJs) or bankruptcies
  

If you've been declined for finance and would like to discuss our decision, you can contact us on 0800 15 22 888 *. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00 

Our automated phone system will ask for an account number, but as you won't have one, please press the hash key (#) when prompted until you're put through to an advisor.

We’ll send you a welcome letter on your finance start date, either via email or by post. Payments usually start one month after your finance start date, unless you have a deferral period for example for a Buy Now, Pay Later account.

Your finance start date may depend on what type of goods you're purchasing and when you receive them.

• If you're collecting goods in store this can be the same day
• If you’re having goods delivered this can be on the day of delivery or collection
• If you're having goods installed as part of your purchase (such as a kitchen or conservatory), this can be the day the installation is complete.
• Your first payment will be month after your finance starts / have your goods.

If your application has been approved, but you’d like to consider your options, you have 30 days to decide whether you'd like to sign your agreement and continue with the finance.

If you applied online: We’ll send an email with a link to continue – this will remain valid for 30 days.

If you change your mind after you have signed your agreement , you can withdraw from the finance within 14 days starting the day after you sign the agreement – or when we confirm to you in writing that you've entered into the agreement, if this is later. For more details please refer to the “New agreement” section of the FAQ’s.

Your monthly payments are calculated by taking the total finance amount plus the total interest due over the loan period, divided by the term of the loan.

This will mean each monthly payment is the same amount even though you accrue less interest each month.

APR stands for the annual percentage rate, which is is the total amount you are charged for your finance shown as an annual percentage. This will include all fees and interest charges and will allow you to compare the cost of finance across different financing options as it provides a like for like comparison.

The credit facility fee is what we charge for your finance – the actual fee amount is set out in your agreement. If the fee is added to your finance amount, you'll pay interest on this as well as on the finance amount. If the fee is paid up front, it will be collected at the same time as your first repayment.

The completion fee is an amount we charge at the end of your finance. We'll collect it by Direct Debit on the same date as your final repayment.

We’ll send you a statement as least once a year. You can also get an up-to-date statement at any time by calling our automated phone service, which is available 24 hours a day on 0800 15 22 888 *. To do so, you need to choose ‘something else’ from the automated service menu, then ‘request a statement’.

All loans will show as a Barclays Partner Finance or Clydesdale Finance LTD loan depending on which credit agency you are looking at and or when you took out the loan. They will appear as an unsecured loan and show the total amount payable, this includes any interest (if applicable) as we add the interest to the loan, it will also show your monthly payment and the current balance at the time that you view your credit report.

Please note, updates to credit reports can take up to 30 days to show, so do not worry if the balance is a month behind.

We will always show the total amount to be paid for the finance over its full term – even if you settle your finance early and end up paying less.

For full details of how we use the information we collect from you, please read the Privacy Policy published on this site.

A balloon payment is a lump sum owed to the lender at the end of a finance agreement.

If you settle your account manually, via a Debit Card, Bank Transfer or Cheque, your next Direct Debit may already be pending. In this event, you'll have to contact your current account provider, they may be able to stop the payment. If they can’t, we'll refund any overpayments back to the account that payments are made from once the Direct Debit has cleared. Direct Debit payments can take up to 10 days to clear. The Direct Debit will need to remain active and in place for us to refund you in this way therefore, please do not cancel your Direct Debit until the refund is back into your account.

Barclays Partner Finance may share equal responsibility with the retailer for certain claims, under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (often referred to as a “section 75 claim”).

This means we'll try to help investigate and resolve any issues with what you've purchased.

Barclays can't directly provide you with a courtesy car. The retailer may be able to provide a courtesy car in some cases, however this will be based on their terms and availability.

You can arrange repairs yourself. However, this may void any warranty you have in place. We suggest that you contact the retailer in the first instance.

Yes, you still need to keep up your contractual payments during any claim investigation. Any missed or withheld payments will result in your account falling into arrears and being reported to the credit reference agencies, as explained in your credit agreement.

We will look to contact you with any updates or if we require any further information, however  you can contact us if you want to discuss your claim by:

• Calling us on 0800 15 22 888 *. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00.
• Sending an email to BPFSection75Claims@barclayscorp.com - please note we cannot process any enquiries relating to coronavirus through this email address.

Under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you're covered if something goes wrong with the goods and services you have purchased funded by Barclays Partner Finance.

Under Section 75, you could be entitled to compensation from Barclays Partner Finance, if goods you've funded are:

• Faulty/ damaged
• not delivered
• or the information given about them was misleading

You’ll usually be able to make a Section 75 claim as long as:

• The goods or services were purchased by you, the main account holder (goods registered to a third party will not be covered).
• The single value of the one item is between £100 to £30,000.
• The purchase was made less than six years ago.
• Your purchase was made directly through the retailer, and not a third party, for example if you purchased from Amazon EU S.a.r.l.   Purchases are not covered by section 75 where the seller is a third party seller that sells goods using the Amazon Marketplace.

If you wish to raise a Section 75 claim, before getting in touch with us, please give the retailer a chance to sort things out. Explain to them what’s happened and how you'd like things put right.

If you’re still unhappy with how things turn out, give us a call on 0800 15 22 888 * and we'll see how we can help. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00.

Alternatively, you may contact us by sending an email to BPFSection75Claims@barclayscorp.com.

We'll always write to you explaining what's happening and when we expect to resolve the issue by. You'll also receive either a final response, or a detailed report on our progress, within 8 weeks.
