Self-Assessment

Before contacting QuidMarket or Debt Advice organisations, there are some things you can do to work out where your money is being spent.

Contact us for an Income and Expenditure form, and this will help you list all the money you have coming in and how much you spend on things. Once it’s written in black and white it can be surprising where you can make savings. Rearranging your finances can be a first step to helping maintain your repayments to your creditors. Saving a few pounds here and there can then be put towards your loan repayments.

Nothing lasts forever so if it makes things tight for a period of time, always keep in mind once the loan is repaid that money becomes yours again to spend on other things! If you want to fill out a budget sheet yourself, visit the National Debtline website. They have an extensive online income and expenditure form you can download.

QuidMarket and The Financial Conduct Authority

The short-term credit industry has gone through many changes in the last few years. The FCA took over regulation of companies offering short-term high-cost credit in 2014, in line with mainstream lenders and banks. A price cap was introduced in 2015:

  • Interest and fees charged must not exceed 0.8% per day of the amount borrowed.
  • Default fees must not exceed £15.
  • Borrowers must never pay more in fees and interest than 100% of the amount borrowed.

Short term loan providers had to apply for authorisation from the FCA showing their policies and working practices were within the rules and guidelines set out by them.

A large number of companies in the short term loan sector did not meet the criteria. These companies had to prove they had implemented necessary changes to their policies and working practices or cease trading.

Here at QuidMarket, we were authorised by the FCA at the first time of asking in Feb 2016 – a very proud day for us all. This approval from the FCA underlines the commitment to our customers and shows us as a reputable, transparent honest lender.

Help & Advice FAQs

A DMC can help you fill in an income and expenditure form to work out where your money is being spent each week or month. This will leave an amount to be split between the companies you owe money to. The DMC will contact the companies for you to explain your arrangement. They will then make an Offer of Payment which is affordable for you.

Once accepted, you will only need to make one payment to the debt management company. They will send payments to your creditors on your behalf after collecting the funds from you as arranged with them.

This is a long-term way of repaying your debts and can also impact your credit file. It is worth remembering you can do the above yourself directly with the companies you are in debt to. Most companies will be more than happy to arrange an affordable payment plan with you rather than having to deal with a debt management company.
