There are three Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs) in the UK - Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. All three are dedicated to collecting information on your financial behaviour and how it has impacted your score.

CRAs must share your credit report with you if you request it. It’s good practice to look at all of your credit scores on a regular basis so you can keep an eye on any changes.

They all have different scores but this is completely normal. You can get to know your credit score better with free credit reports at ClearScore, Intuit Credit Karma and Experian.

We have systems that protect our customers and ourselves against fraud and other crime. We will share your personal information from your application with fraud prevention agencies. If you provide false or inaccurate information and fraud is identified, details of this fraud will be passed to these agencies. Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information.

We and other organisations may also access and use this information 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

At LiveLend we use the following fraud prevention agencies:

CIFAS

We understand that our decision may be a disappointment, so let us explain how we’ve reached it. As a responsible lender, we always review all the information available to us. That way, we can make a fair decision.

The only information we use is what you told us in your application, information we might already know about you and information provided by Credit Reference Agencies.

When reviewing information we promise to only use soft searches, so there’s no impact on your credit rating.

We consider several factors including:

• Your employment status. For example, if you're unemployed or you've only been in your job for a short time
• Your residential status. For example, if you've lived at your address for only a short time
• Your payment history for other loans or credit card repayments
• Your current level of borrowing and existing commitments
• Any information we already hold about you

We have to use representative rates on our website to comply with regulation, but we know that these rates can be confusing. So, when we give you your quote, we’ll also give you your real rate. We do this in just two minutes, and without any impact to your credit report, so that you know exactly how much your loan will cost.

This real rate is a rate individual to you, worked out based on the information you provide us with as part of your application, any information we might already know about you, and the information provided to us by our Credit Reference Agency.

Your loan rate is on the Overview page of your online account. Simply log in and select Overview. All the information about your loan agreement is there. Alternatively, you can review your loan agreement in the Messages section of the site. 

You can get in touch with us through our LiveBot, live chat or email.

Our LiveBot is new to LiveLend and whilst we’re testing out some of its features, it may not always be available. But don’t worry, you can still speak to our support team on live chat and email.

If you’d like to talk to us on the phone, we’ll call you back - so you won't ever have to wait on hold again. We made the decision not to have a phone number, in order to keep our costs low so that we can offer you the best rates possible.

If you’re a customer of ours, and you’d like to discuss your loan, please log in and click on the Get in touch page before chatting to us or sending us an email. This way, we’ll be able to share personal information with you safely and securely.

Our customers aren't able to borrow more on top of their existing loan. If you need some extra support with your loan repayments or would like to chat to us about your loan in general, get in touch with us so we can help.

The LiveLend Reward Loan is a loan that rewards you for improvements in your credit score. When your credit score goes up, the interest rate you’ll be charged will go down. 

We'll look at your credit score every three months and if your credit score has gone up by 25 points, we'll automatically reduce your loan rate. Don't worry, this check won't affect your credit score. For every 25 points that your credit score increases, we'll reduce your loan rate by 2%, as long as you're up to date with your repayments.

We'll reduce your loan rate straight away and reduce your monthly repayments, so your loan will cost you less! Your loan rate can reduce to 9.9%. We'll never put your rate back up, even if your score gets worse. 

The credit score we use to review your eligibility for rewards is taken directly from Equifax on the day that you apply for our loan. We’ll always use this score for your Reward Loan.

The Reward Loan is available exclusively through popular comparison websites such as ClearScore, MoneySuperMarket.com and Experian. 

To check your eligibility with no impact on your credit score, simply head over to your preferred financial services comparison provider. There you’ll see all of the loans from across the market that you’re eligible for and that are best suited to your personal needs.

Representative Example: 25.7% APR Representative based on a loan of £5,000, repayable over 42 months at an interest of 25.7% pa (fixed). Monthly repayment of £174.65. Total amount payable £7,335.28. Our representative APR applies to loans from £1,000 to £12,000, for terms of 12-60 months.

Yes. If you'd like to reinstate your Direct Debit so your monthly repayment is taken on the original date you requested on your loan application, please follow the steps below:

• Log in to your LiveLend account
• Click the set up a Direct Debit button on the Overview page  

Having a Direct Debit set up will help you make your monthly repayments on time.

This could be down to a number of reasons.

We review your eligibility for a reward based on a credit score provided by Equifax. This score is called a ‘management score’. It’s different from the score you’ll see on your credit reports which show you how likely you are to get accepted for credit. It’s shared with us from Equifax so that we can measure your score movement over time. We compare this score against a score taken directly from Equifax on the day that you apply for our loan. 

We use this score to review your eligibility for a reward every three months. Your score will need to be at least 25 points higher in order to earn a reward and you'll need to be up to date with your loan repayments.

Your loan rate can reduce to 9.9%, so if your loan is at 9.9% or below, you won't be able to earn any more rewards.

We review your eligibility for a reward based on a credit score provided by Equifax. 

If you need to put someone else in control of your account, for example, because you lack mental capacity to look after your own financial affairs, please get in touch with our team. We’ll need a copy of your registration of Power of Attorney.

We recommend you pick a date close to the day you get paid as most of our customers find this easier to manage.

If you’re thinking about closing your loan early, it’s important that you get an early settlement quote first. You can get a quote by: 

• Logging into your account
• Click Manage
• Scroll down to the Close your loan section
• Click Calculate my settlement

You’ll be given a quote which includes your latest balance, plus any daily interest due to be applied. There are no fees to close your loan early, and closing your loan early will reduce the amount of interest you pay.

Your early settlement quote will be valid for 30 days. 

If you get a quote to settle your loan, and your next repayment is due within the next three working days, we won’t be able to cancel your Direct Debit in time. So, if you were to settle your loan you’d effectively overpay your account. Don’t worry - we’ll refund any overpayments within 10 days. If you’d prefer this not to happen, we recommend waiting until 10 days after your next repayment due date to allow for this payment to clear before requesting your early settlement quote. 

If you’re struggling to make your next repayment, or have already missed a repayment, don’t panic. At LiveLend, we won’t charge you for missing a repayment. However, missing a repayment will result in you paying additional interest on your loan, and could have a negative impact on your credit score.

We can work with you to make sure this doesn’t happen so if you feel you’d benefit from additional support, we’ll give you a call to understand your situation and help you find a solution that’s right for you. Get in touch with us and we’ll help you get things back on track.

When you apply for your loan, you can choose the date you’d like your payments to be taken from your account. We recommend you pick a date close to the day you get paid as most of our customers find this easier to manage. Depending what date you pick, your loan repayments may start the following month.

If you’ve taken a loan and forgotten what date you selected, you can log in and click Overview. Your repayment date and history will be available at the bottom of the page under Your Payments. You can also find these details in your loan documents in Messages.

To set your Direct Debit back up, please follow the steps below:

• Log in to your LiveLend account
• Click the set up a Direct Debit button on the Overview page

It’s important that you have a Direct Debit set up to help you make your monthly repayments on time.
