Driving in St Helens
Between the M62 and the M6.
St Helens grew up around glassmaking, and the World of Glass museum tells that story. Sherdley Park, Taylor Park and Carr Mill Dam give the town its green space. Haydock Park racecourse sits beside the M6, the M62 runs along the south, and the East Lancashire Road crosses the borough between Liverpool and Manchester.
Many people here travel out of town for work, to Liverpool, Warrington or Manchester, along routes that are quickest by road. If your vehicle is yours and clear of finance, you can borrow against it and carry on driving it, rather than selling it.
How it works in St Helens
From application to payout.
Apply online at a time that suits you. We begin with a soft search, which does not affect your credit score, and an underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours to go through your application with you.
A signing agent usually visits within 3 working hours of approval to witness the Bill of Sale and photograph you with the vehicle. Most loans are complete within 24 working hours, and the money is paid by bank transfer.
What you can borrow against
Cars, vans and motorbikes.
We lend against cars, vans and motorbikes that you own outright, free of finance, and insured and taxed. Cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted.
How much you can borrow, from £1,000 to £50,000, depends on the value of your vehicle and on what you can afford. If you can clear the loan sooner than planned, you can settle early at any time and get a rebate on interest.
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 St Helens 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-le-Willows, Haydock and Rainhill?
Yes. We lend across St Helens, Merseyside and the rest of the UK. You apply online and by phone, and a signing agent visits you to witness the Bill of Sale.
Can poor credit stop me applying?
No, not by itself. Poor credit is considered, subject to affordability. We look at whether you can comfortably afford the repayments and at the value of your vehicle.
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).
