Terms and Conditions

Who are we?

The Personal Finance Centre is a trading style of Key Loans and Mortgages Limited.

We are a consumer credit broker who offer solutions in the personal finance market. We believe in offering customers a better way to shop for a loan than the standard comparison model.

We don’t offer headline rates to those customers who won’t qualify for them.

Our years of experience in the loans and secured loans market ensure customers have the best possible journey from the moment they start their application right through to getting the funds in their bank account. This means that you can be sure that you, the customer, are at the heart of what we do as a business.

What is our main office address?
The Personal Finance Centre
The Nook
Saunders Way
Cullompton
Devon
EX15 1BS

Registered in England and Wales. Company number 06524192.

Who regulates us?
Key Loans and Mortgages is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Firm reference number 734892)
Our Data Protection Register number is ZA242735.

Your Contact Details
We will use these details to contact you by telephone, email or text message to discuss your application(s). You can withdraw your consent at any time, please contact us if you want to do so. If you withdraw your consent this may mean that we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. If this is so, we will tell you.

Accuracy of loan quotes
The Personal Finance Centre takes every care to ensure the accuracy of the loan quotes which are based on the latest information available from the lenders at that time. However, the lenders on the panel reserve the right to change % APR or %APRC rates and underwriting criteria at any time and without notice. This may result in a change to the loan/secured loan offered to you or may result in the loan/secured loans offer being withdrawn.

The accuracy of the loan/secured loan quotes depends upon the accuracy of the information you have provided. The Personal Finance Centre and the lenders on the panel will conduct checks to verify the accuracy of the information you have provided. If information you have provided changes as a result of these checks, the original offer may be changed or withdrawn.

The expected time periods from submitting your application to receiving your loan/secured loan funds are only a guide. Any delay in the returning of your loan documents, proof of income or identification and/or delays with any third party we or the lender need to contact in order to process your application, may result in your application taking longer to complete.

If you’re thinking of consolidating existing borrowing you should be aware that although you may reduce your monthly outgoings you may be extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.

It’s important that you can afford the repayments now and continue to do so throughout the term of the loan as failure to keep up with your repayments could lead to defaults, CCJ’s, ultimately bankruptcy and affect your ability to obtain future credit.

Review, correction and deletion of information we hold.
You have the right to request copies of all records we hold about you. You may request this by writing to us at:

How we earn our money

This fee will be reflected in the APRC applied to the mortgage/secured loan. If you chose to add the fees to the mortgage/secured loan it will be included in any monthly payment you are quoted. You can opt to pay the broker fee up-front, your Adviser will discuss these options with you.

Privacy Policy
This privacy notice explains how we use any personal information we collect about you.

What information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you engage us for mortgage advice. This information will relate to your personal and financial circumstances. It may also include special categories of personal data such as data about your health, if this is necessary for the provision of our services. We may also collect information when you voluntarily complete surveys or provide feedback to us.

Why do we need to collect and use your personal data?
The primary legal basis that we intend to use for the processing of your data is for the performance of our contract with you. The information that we collect about you is essential for us to be able to carry out the services that you require from us effectively. Without collecting your personal data we’d also be unable to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations. Where special category data is required, we will obtain your explicit consent in order to collect and process this information.

How will we use the information about you?
We collect information about you in order to provide you with the services for which you engage us.

Our Privacy Promise
We promise to keep your data safe and private.

We will not sell your data.

We will give you ways to manage and review your data for:

contact for marketing purposes
contact for the purpose of performing our contract with you
How the law protects you
As well as our Privacy Promise, your privacy is protected by law. Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have an appropriate reason to do so. The following reasons are the lawful basis in which we are able to use your information:

To fulfil a contract we have with you
To carry out our legal duty
When it is in our legitimate interest
When you consent to it
A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, but even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

How we collect your personal information
We may collect personal information about you from the following sources:

When you apply for one of the products we offer
When you talk to us on the telephone
When you use our website, web chat or text messages
In emails and letters
In financial reviews
In customer surveys
From third parties we work with
Credit reference agencies
How we use your information to make automated decisions
We use systems to make automated decisions based on the personal information we have about you. This helps us to make sure our decisions are quick, fair, efficient and correct, based on what we know. These automated decisions can affect the products or services we may be able to offer you now or in the future or the price/interest rate we can make available to you. These automated decisions are a result of lender credit scoring systems. It uses past data to assess how you are likely to act while making repayments on any money you borrow.

Credit scoring uses three sources of data collected from an application form, credit reference agencies and data we may already hold. It gives an overall assessment based on this and lenders use this to help make a responsible lending decision that is fair and informed.

Who might we share your information with?
In instances where we cannot source a suitable product through our internal panel of lenders, then we may share your details with a carefully selected partner who we feel may be able to assist you. They will review your details and contact you to discuss further by phone, email and SMS.

Our partners include Evolution Money, Specialist Money, Norton Finance, Astute Finance, Cream Financial Solutions, Aro Mortgages & Optimise Finance.

Where third parties are involved in processing your data, we will have a contract in place with them to ensure that the nature and purpose of the processing is clear, that they are subject to a duty of confidence in processing your data and that they’ll only act in accordance with our written instructions. Where it’s necessary for your personal data to be forwarded to a third party we will use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in transit.

If you agree, we may also contact you via email, SMS or telephone about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you. In order to deliver our services to you effectively we may send your details to third parties such as those that we engage for professional compliance, accountancy, legal, and credit reference services as well as product and platform providers that we use to arrange financial products for you.

To fulfil our obligations in respect of prevention of money-laundering and other financial crime we may send your details to third party agencies for identity verification purposes.

Credit Reference Agencies
We carry out credit and identity checks when you apply for a product or service and may use credit reference agencies to help us with this. We share your personal information with Credit Reference Agencies and they will give us information about you.

The data we can exchange can include:

Name, address and date of birth
Credit application details
Details of any shared credit
Financial situation and history
Public information from sources such as the electoral register
This data is used to:

Assess whether you are able to afford to make repayments
Help detect and prevent financial crime
When we ask Credit Reference Agencies about you, they will note it on your credit file. Other lenders may see this and we may see credit searches from other lenders. If you apply for a product with someone else, we will link your records with theirs. We will do the same if you tell us you have a spouse, partner or civil partner. You should tell them about this before you apply for a product or service as it is important that they know your records will be linked together and that credit searches may be made against them.

Marketing
We may use your personal information to tell you about relevant products and offers. This is what we refer to as “marketing.” The personal information we have for you is made up of what you tell us and data we collect from third parties we work with. We can only use your personal information to send you “marketing messages” if we have either your consent or a legitimate interest. That is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. It must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you.

You can ask us to stop sending you “marketing messages” by contacting us at any time. We may ask you to confirm or update your choices when we speak with you in the future and if you change your mind, you can update your choices at any time by contacting us at:

Consent, information usage and sharing
The Personal Finance Centre Limited is committed to keeping your information private.

By your ‘information’ we mean any information about you or anyone associated with you that you or a third party provides to us, as a result of the application process.

By proceeding you are confirming that you have consent of all persons named on the application to act and accept these terms and conditions on their behalf and in doing so give consent to us, our lenders, Credit Reference Agencies (CRA’s) and associated brokers to process your and their data in the ways described below.

In order to provide the service you have requested we will process your information and share it with our panel of lenders, CRA’s, other brokers and any other third party we believe may be able to help you.

In order to assess creditworthiness, verify identities, prevent financial crime and so we can find the right lender for your circumstances, we and our lenders may perform ‘soft’ credit searches (quotation searches) on you and anyone to whom you are financially linked. This search is conducted by a CRA and details of the CRA’s we work with are available on request. The result of the ‘soft’ search will be recorded on your file and or anyone you are financially associated with by the CRA but will not be visible to anyone but you or your financial associates. These searches have no impact on your credit score or the credit score of your financial associates.

If you choose to proceed with a loan, your selected lender may perform a ‘hard’ credit search (application search), to verify your identity, confirm your address, assess your creditworthiness and to prevent and detect financial crime. In doing so, the CRA will add the details of this search to all credit files relevant to the application. This search can be viewed by the credit reference agency and any other organisation that conducts a credit search, including lenders. These organisations may use this information in the future to help make credit decisions, prevent financial crime and to trace debtors.

If false or inaccurate information is provided, or if a reasonable suspicion of fraud or any other criminal offence is identified, details will be shared with fraud prevention agencies, law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies who may access and use this information. We and other organisations may access and use the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:

Checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities
Managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities
Recovering debt
Checking details of job applicants and employees
Details of the fraud prevention agencies we work with are available on request, please e-mail:
info@thepersonalfinancecentre.co.uk

Information held about applicants by CRA’s may already be linked to records related to one or more of your partners or members of your household. For the purpose of this application you may be treated as financially linked and the application may be assessed with reference to any ‘associated ‘records:

To identify you when you contact us.
To satisfy legal and regulatory obligations placed upon us.
To perform statistical analysis, system testing and research, with the aim of improving our service.
To consider and implement business, products and technology developments.
For the purpose of training our staff.
For the purposes of auditing and monitoring our business activities.
With your consent, both we and other carefully selected organisations or alternative credit and insurance providers may contact you by telephone, letter, fax, e-mail, SMS or other social media to offer other credit or insurance products which may be of interest to you. We may also send you information about money saving tips and guides, plus guides concerning fraud and scam awareness. If you do not wish to be contacted with such offers or information then please opt out of future marketing activity on our application form or e-mail us at:

info@thepersonalfinancecentre.co.uk

Please also bear in mind that if your complaint involves information from third parties, some delays could be beyond our control. We will, however, pursue information on a regular basis.

Third Party Complaints
In the event that we receive a complaint that is not about us, or our services, and assuming that we can identify the firm to whom the complaint should be addressed, we will carry out the following action:
