Driving in Darlington
A market town between two big roads.
Darlington is a market town with a railway past, the leafy South Park and a busy centre. It sits just east of the A1(M), with the A66 running out to Teesside and the A167 heading north to Durham, so a drive to work often covers more miles than you expect.
Villages around the town and out to Newton Aycliffe and Barnard Castle have patchy public transport. A vehicle is a daily necessity, and a logbook loan lets you use its value without giving it up.
How it works in Darlington
Online, then on the phone.
You apply online at any time. An underwriter usually rings within 2 working hours to talk through your application and answer your questions. There is no branch visit and no waiting in a queue.
If you go ahead, a signing agent usually visits within 3 working hours of approval to witness the Bill of Sale. The loan is usually complete within 24 working hours, with the money sent by bank transfer.
What you can borrow against
Cars, vans and motorbikes.
A work van or a motorbike you ride every day can qualify as well as a family car. It must be yours, free of finance, and insured and taxed. Cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted.
You keep the vehicle and carry on driving. The amount, from £1,000 to £50,000, depends on its value and what you can comfortably afford to repay, and not on where in south Durham you live.
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 Darlington 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 Newton Aycliffe and Bishop Auckland?
Yes. We lend across County Durham and the rest of the UK. You apply online and talk to us by phone, wherever you are.
How is the money paid to me?
By bank transfer to the account you give us. The whole process is usually complete within 24 working hours of your application being agreed.
