The credit check is commonly referred to as a “hard credit search”. The information provided by the CRA assists us to assess whether the repayments on your proposed loan will be sustainable and affordable.
We provide your personal information to a Credit Reference Agency (CRA) and the CRA returns us the credit information that has been matched to you. The information will include your credit score as well as other credit and public information that is available from your credit file.
The hard credit search will be recorded by the CRA and can be seen on your credit file. It may impact your credit score and will be visible to other lenders.

Yes you can make one or more purchases from one or more retailers up to the maximum amount you are eligible for.
Yes, you can pay off early without any additional fees or charges. You will only pay the balance owed on the date you make the payment. You can do this by logging into your humm portal and making a once-off payment for the amount of your outstanding balance.
If you need to return the goods, you do this through the normal retailer process. The retailer will then cancel the purchase, and this will process a cancellation of your loan agreement. The cancellation of the agreement will process a refund of any sums paid back to your bank card.
If a payment is unsuccessful on the due date we will send you an SMS and an email to advise of the unsuccessful payment and provide ways for you to make the payment.
If the payment is not made on the due date we will automatically retry for the payment on the next day.
If the second attempt to claim the payment is unsuccessful a £7 late payment fee is applied to your Loan agreement and becomes due and payable along with the contractual payment.
At this time, we will not make any further attempts to process the payment and send you communications by various methods to contact you to discuss your missed payment and your financial circumstances. If we do not get a response from our attempts to contact you we will look to make 2 further attempts to process the payment from your bank card. These attempts will be made 5 days and 10 days after the due date.
