Driving in Burnley
Hills, valleys and the M65.
Burnley sits where the Pennines begin, with Towneley Park on the edge of town and Pendle Hill on the skyline. The M65 runs west to Accrington and Blackburn and east to Nelson and Colne, while the A646 follows the valley south towards Todmorden. Many of the roads climb, and many of the journeys are long.
Between Padiham, Brierfield, Barnoldswick and the villages beyond, a vehicle is often the way work and family life fit together. If yours is paid for, you can borrow against it without giving it up, and carry on with the school run, the commute and the weekend.
How it works in Burnley
Online first, then a call.
Start with a short online application. It asks for your vehicle registration, a few details about you and what you would like to borrow. A soft search is used to check where you stand, and it does not affect your credit score.
An underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours. If you go ahead, a signing agent usually visits within 3 working hours of approval to witness the Bill of Sale. Most loans are complete within 24 working hours, with the money paid by bank transfer.
What you can borrow against
Free of finance, insured and taxed.
Cars, vans and motorbikes can all be used to secure a loan, provided you own them outright, they are free of finance, and they are insured and taxed. Cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted.
The amount you can borrow depends on your vehicle's value and on what you can comfortably afford to repay, not on whether you live in Burnley town or up a lane in Pendle. Poor credit is considered, subject to affordability.
If you fall behind
Tell us as early as you can. We will work with you on a payment arrangement or a reduced repayment plan. Repossession is only ever a last resort.
Your car may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a loan secured against it.
Questions from Burnley drivers
How quickly could I get the money?
Apply online at any time. An underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours, and the whole process is usually complete within 24 working hours. The money comes by bank transfer.
Will getting a quote affect my credit score?
No. Your quote uses a soft search, which does not affect your credit score. We only look more closely once you decide to go ahead.
Do you lend in Nelson, Colne and Padiham?
Yes. We lend across Burnley, Pendle and the rest of the UK. Everything is done online and by phone, with a signing agent visiting you to witness the Bill of Sale, so your street makes no difference.
Does my vehicle need to be insured and taxed?
Yes. It must be yours, free of finance, and insured and taxed. If you are unsure about any of those, call us on 01924 221854, Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm, and we will talk it through.
Borrowing responsibly. We only lend when the repayments are affordable for you. Our service is not advised. If money is a worry, you can get free, impartial help from MoneyHelper (opens in a new tab), StepChange (opens in a new tab) or Citizens Advice (opens in a new tab).
