If you change your mind, 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.
To withdraw from your finance get in touch on 0800 15 22 888 * or write to us at: Barclays Partner Finance, PO Box 2501, Cardiff, CF23 0FP. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00.
If you withdraw from the finance and we've already paid the retailer for the goods/services, you'll have to repay the value of the goods/services (plus any services or insurance) to us. You need to do this within 30 days of the date you asked to withdraw from the finance, and we won't charge you interest or other charges during that time. If you don't pay all amounts due in full, the finance will continue. However, if you do the goods will belong to you.

No. If you withdraw from the finance your purchase from the retailer is not also withdrawn/cancelled. You will need to pay for the goods/services or contact the retailer directly to cancel your purchase (if possible).
If you’re still not happy with how things turn out, get in touch with our team on 0800 15 22 888 * and we'll see how we can help. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00

You can pay off your finance in full at any time. Once your cooling off (right to withdraw) period has passed you can get in touch with us to request a settlement amount, so you know exactly how much you still need to pay. Your settlement amount will remain valid for up to 28 days.
Please ensure you do not cancel your Direct Debit or other monthly payment method until your account is fully paid as your account may fall into arrears. We’ll stop taking Direct Debit payments once your finance is fully paid and if you inadvertently make any over-payments, we will refund these automatically to the account they were made from.
You can also make one-off or regular additional payments on top of your scheduled Direct Debit if you like. To discuss any of these options in more detail please, get in touch with us on 0800 15 22 888 *. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00.

When we calculate a settlement amount, we add on 1 month and 28 days' interest. This settlement amount is valid for 28 days and during this period the interest on your account is frozen.
Please ensure you do not cancel your Direct Debit or other monthly payment method until your account is fully paid as your account may fall into arrears. We’ll stop taking Direct Debit payments once your finance is fully paid and if you inadvertently make any over-payments, we will refund these automatically to the account they were made from.
If you don't pay the settlement amount within this timeframe, the full interest charge (as shown in the settlement breakdown notes) will be added to your balance.
The interest you pay as part of your settlement amount may differ depending on the type of finance you have. To discuss your individual account(s) give us a call on 0800 15 22 888 *. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday 09:00 – 18:00. -
If you've made an overpayment via Direct Debit, once the Direct Debit has cleared, we'll refund this back to the account that payments are made from. 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.
