If you’d like to know more about the terms and conditions of our loans, you’ll find these on the back of your loan agreement. Alternatively, click on the links below. The terms and conditions on these agreements apply to all loans from the date shown.
1. General
| 1.1 |
This Agreement becomes binding on You, when both You and Us have signed it. |
| 1.2 |
The Cash Loan and (if selected) the Optional PPP Loan together form “the Loan” in these terms and conditions. When the Loan is made We will open an account in your name(s) and debit it with the total amount of the Loan overleaf. |
| 1.3 |
Your obligations under this Agreement will be secured by the Mortgage Deed or Standard Security where the property is located in Scotland which We have sent to You separately. |
2. Interest
| 2.1 |
The rate of interest charged is set out overleaf and is subject to variation in accordance with clause 2.2 below. |
| 2.2 |
We may from time to time vary Our interest rate. We may increase or reduce Our interest rate for one or more of the following reasons: |
| (a) |
to reflect a change which has occurred, or which We reasonably think will occur in the costs of funds used in Our business; |
| |
|
| (b) |
to reflect a change in the law or a decision by a court or; |
| |
|
| (c) |
to reflect regulatory requirements or guidance. |
| 2.3 |
We will not increase the interest rate on your account if, at the time of the proposed increase, doing so would mean that your interest rate had increased by more than double any increase there had been in the 3 month LIBOR interest rate published in the Financial Times over the previous 6 months. Three months LIBOR means the rate at which Banks in London lend money
to each other for a period of 3 months. If this rate is not published then we will select another reference rate that we reasonably think best matches it. |
| 2.4 |
Any such variation will take effect on written notice. Your monthly payment will change under clause 3.3 on at least 30 days notice. |
3. Payments
| 3.1 |
All payments by You must be made by Direct Debit. Payments may be made by other methods with Our consent only. |
| 3.2 |
You agree to make the payments overleaf in full when due and without being asked. |
| 3.3 |
Your total monthly repayment shown overleaf may be varied either |
| (a) |
in the event that the interest rate is varied in accordance with clause 2.2 above or |
| |
|
| (b) |
in the case of the last monthly repayment to ensure the Loan is repaid in full at the end of the term. If We agree to change the date of your monthly repayment, We may also vary the amount of the monthly repayment to
ensure that Your Loan will be paid in full, subject to any accrued charges, on the date on which the last of the monthly payments is due, which will be added to your balance. |
| 3.4 |
You may also have to pay other charges if We provide certain services in accordance with Our tariff of Service Fees published from time to time. We may change these charges from time to time to reflect changes in Our cost. When Our tariff of Service Fees changes we will send You a copy. You must keep all copies sent to You. |
4. Capital Repayments
| 4.1 |
You may make partial early repayments of capital at any time provided that the payment is at least £1,000. A charge will be applied calculated as if you had settled this Agreement early under Clause 5.1 but pro rata to the amount repaid early. |
| 4.2 |
Partial early repayments of capital will be applied to your account firstly in settlement of any arrears (including default charges) and then in reduction of the capital balance. Where you have more than one Loan, such capital reduction will be pro rata. |
| 4.3 |
When a partial early repayment of capital is made, we will either reduce the term of your Loan(s) or recalculate your monthly payments at your option. |
5. Early Repayment
5.1 You may end this Agreement at any time by paying to Us a sum, calculated in accordance with the Section “Amounts payable on Early Settlement” overleaf.
6. Default
| 6.1 |
If any monthly repayment remains unpaid for more than 7 days after its due date We may give notice to You, pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, requiring payment by a specified date not less than 14 days later. If the monthly payment is not paid in full by that date We will be entitled to demand repayment calculated in accordance with the section “Amount Payable on
Early Settlement” overleaf. |
| 6.2 |
We will be entitled to terminate this Agreement (after service of any notice required under the Consumer Credit Act 1974) if you in any way perpetrate attempt or are involved in any act of fraud or other criminal activity in respect of Nemo Personal Finance Limited or the Loan, or if any information provided by You as part of the application is incorrect or misleading in any material manner. On such termination We shall be entitled to demand repayment calculated in the same manner as in Clause 6.1 above. |
| 6.3 |
You are responsible for all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses incurred by Us in attempting to obtain repayment of any money You owe Us. Interest on any amount which becomes due and payable and on any costs and expenses which become payable shall be charged in accordance with clause 2 at the rate specified overleaf, subject to variation as set out above, until payment both before and after judgment. |
7. Payment Protection Plan
| 7.1 |
If You have selected the Nemo Personal Finance Limited Payment Protection Plan, You authorise Us to pay to the insurers the cash price of the insurance. |
| 7.2 |
You will receive the benefits of the selected Payment Protection Plan the details and limitations of which You acknowledge having received before signing this Agreement. You will keep such information. |
| 7.3 |
Any payments made by the insurers under the terms of the Payment Protection Plan will be paid direct to Us and used by Us to reduce any balance outstanding on Your account. Any payments due following any early loan settlement (see the Summary of Cover enclosed which You must keep) will be made direct to You. |
8. Miscellaneous
| 8.1 |
If You used a broker, as well as any fee he may charge You (which will be shown on the front of this Agreement), he will receive a commission from Us. Your broker must tell You how much. We will check with You before completion whether You have been told how much and by proceeding with your loan You are confirming Your consent to this. Your loan may also count towards any additional, volume related commission we pay the broker. As Your broker received a commission he may not be able to provide You with unbiased advice. |
| 8.2 |
If there is more than one borrower, references in this Agreement shall refer to each and every person who signed this Agreement and the liability of each such person to Us shall be joint and several so each is fully liable for the full amount due to Us at any time. References to this Agreement shall include the Mortgage Deed (or Standard Security where the property is located in
Scotland) which is incorporated into this Agreement. |
| 8.3 |
We may assign, transfer or otherwise sell some or all of Our rights under this Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt the Mortgage Deed or Standard Security where the property is located in Scotland, which forms part of it) to any person without Your consent. Any assignment, transfer or sale will not prejudice your rights. |
| 8.4 |
Any notice to be given to You by Us under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been validly given if sent to You by ordinary post to the last address in the United Kingdom to have been notified to Us. |
| 8.5 |

1. Where We have Your consent.
2. If it is in the public interest to do so.
3. When We are required to do so by law and voluntary codes.
4. To Our agents and others, who do work on Our behalf.
5. To obtain quotes from providers of insurance on an ongoing basis.
We will use and share information:
1. To administer Your account.

4. For management reports.
5. To help Us build a picture of You for credit/insurance assessment and

If We transfer Your information to a service provider or agent in another country, We will make sure that the service provider or agent agrees to apply the same levels of protection as We are required to apply to information held in the UK and to use Your information only for the purpose of providing the service to Us.
Credit and Insurance Products Only
We will check your details with a fraud prevention agency / agencies. If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Law Enforcement agencies may access and use this information. We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:
• Checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities
• Managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities
• Recovering debt
• Checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance
• Checking details of job applicants and employees
If you do not provide information which is relevant to the service requested we may not be able to offer you the service you require. Information from this application and the subsequent management of the account will be maintained on both our accounting systems and central databases.
Please contact us at
Trafalgar House,
5 Fitzalan Place,
Cardiff,
CF24 0ED,
if you want to receive details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies. We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies.
A copy of any personal data held by our agencies can be made available to you, on payment of a fee.
You have a legal right to see these details. For more details write to the Data Controller at the address on the front of this agreement. If any data is Inaccurate it will be corrected without delay.
Credit Products Only
Credit reference agencies collate information about how people in a household manage the money they borrow from lenders, whether it be a mortgage, personal loan, credit card, overdraft or any other type of loan.
When making lending decisions We will carry out a search with one or more licensed credit reference agencies who will retain a record of the search which will be seen by other organisations that make searches. This information will be used in a decision making process called “credit scoring”.
If Your
application is declined You may have a right of appeal. We may also make further searches during the term of the Agreement to assist in the management of Your account.
Information held about You and Your account by the credit reference agencies may already be linked or “associated” to records relating to Your partner or anyone that You may be financially “associated” with. Your ability to obtain credit will be influenced by the records held by the credit reference agency on You or any person associated with You in this way.
Another person’s records will be “associated” with Yours by Us when:
1. You make a joint application.
2. You advise Us of a financial association with another person.
3. If the credit reference agencies have existing linked or associated records.
This “association” will link Your records at the credit reference agencies and will be taken into account in all future applications by either or both of You. This shall continue until one of You applies to the credit reference agencies and is successful in filing a “disassociation”.
You MUST therefore ensure when making a joint application or advising Us of some other financial association that You are entitled to:
| 1. |
Disclose information about Your joint applicant and anyone referred to by You. |
| 2. |
Authorise Us to search, link or record information at (a) credit reference agency/ies about You and any one referred to by You. |
On a monthly basis, we will give credit reference agencies details about payments You make to Us and the status of Your account, to help Us and other lenders make credit decisions about You (and the people associated with You) in the future.
If You exceed agreed limits, and the amount owed is not in dispute, and You fail to make satisfactory repayment proposals following Our formal demand, We may register this with credit reference agencies.
Insurance Products Only
Some of the insurance products We offer are underwritten by other insurance companies. We will therefore need to pass this information to them to help administer Your policy. Where this is the case, We will make the insurance company known to You. |
