Does Nemo advertise anywhere which involves paying an upfront fee to consider my application?

No - Nemo advertises on the internet and also receives applications via our network of brokers, however neither Nemo nor its partners will ever ask you to pay an upfront fee to consider your application. If you have been asked to pay a fee before your application is made, please contact us on 0845 371 0461. Please note, some of Nemo's brokers may charge you a fee to search for a product which is suitable for you. If this is the case, the fee is added to the loan amount you borrow which you then pay interest on. Payment of any broker fee would not be requested before your loan application is processed. By applying directly to us you won’t have to pay an arrangement fee which will result in a lower repayment.

You could repay your loan over a term to suit your budget from 3 to 25 years. Nemo's rates range from 5.7% APR variable to 14.9% APR variable. Our Typical rate is 12.2% APR variable.If you’re consolidating existing debts you may also lower your monthly outgoings, giving you more disposable income. It should be remembered that consolidating debt may increase the amount you pay back overall and extend the repayment period of debts.

Why has my application for a secured loan been declined based on my credit profile?

Your credit score is determined by a number of factors. Nemo’s credit scoring system allocates points for each relevant piece of information to create a score. If your score does not reach the level at which Nemo is able to lend to you, we would not be able to agree to provide you with a secured loan. You can find out more about the information held about you by credit reference agencies on the Equifax website www.equifax.co.uk
