Your loan explained

Interest is a percentage of your credit amount, which is our charge for lending you money. To calculate the amount of interest you will pay, we multiply the credit amount plus the credit facility fee by the interest rate and then by the number of years you have to repay the credit. The answer is then added to the credit amount plus the credit facility fee.

To calculate your monthly payment amount we divide the new figure by the number of months the credit is spread over. Your repayments are the credit amount plus the credit facility fee and interest added together and divided by the number of months the credit is spread across.

APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It is the total cost expressed as an annual percentage of the total amount of the credit. The APR is there to help you compare different offers. An APR calculation doesn’t include fees or charges that happen if payments are late or missed altogether.

Your loan may be subject to early settlement fees or additional charges which should be clearly explained to you at the time of sale and will be outlined in the terms and conditions we sent to you when your loan account was set up.

The credit facility fee is an amount we charge for your credit. The amount of the fee is set out in the agreement. If the fee is added to your credit amount, you will pay interest on this as well as on the credit 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 credit agreement. We will collect it by direct debit on the same date as your final repayment.

If you wish to change your mind, you can withdraw from the loan agreement within 14 days, beginning on the day after you sign the agreement, or when we confirm to you in writing that you and we have entered into the agreement, if this is later.

You can withdraw from your agreement by contacting us on 0800 15 22 888* or writing to us at:
Barclays Partner Finance, PO Box 2501, Cardiff, CF23 0FP.

Withdrawing from the loan agreement will affect your ownership of the product you financed, depending on the type of product and the type of loan you took out with us.

If you withdraw from the agreement and we have already paid for the goods or vehicle you financed, and any services or insurance, you will have to repay the credit amount within 30 days of the date on which you told us you want to withdraw from the agreement (we will not charge you interest or other charges during that time). If you do not repay all amounts, the agreement will continue. If you repay the credit in full, the goods or vehicle will belong to you.

If you would like to pay off your loan, please contact us to obtain an up to date settlement figure. You can request a settlement figure 24 hours a day through our automated telephone service by calling 0800 15 22 888*. You will need your 16-digit account number.

If you decide to partially settle your loan, your monthly repayments will stay the same, and we will reduce the number of repayments you have left to make.

If you repay some or all of the credit early, we will charge you interest up to the settlement date (which is 28 days after you tell us you want to repay the credit early or any later date you tell us you want to repay some or all of the credit) plus a further calendar month's interest. We will charge interest at the rate which applies to your credit amount at the time you make the payment.

We suggest you try to contact the retailer or dealer to explain what’s happened and how you want things put right. The issue is more likely to be resolved quickly if you give them the chance to sort things out first. But if you’re not happy with how things turn out, call our Customer Service Team on 0800 15 22 888* and we’ll see what we can do to help. In some cases, if you have a claim against the retailer or dealer, you may also have the right to ask us for compensation.

Before we can help you the retailer needs to have a chance to sort things out.  So first, get in touch with them to explain what’s happened and how you want things put right.

If you’re not happy with how things turn out call our Customer Service Team on 0800 15 22 888* and we will see how we can help.
