APR as a comparative tool
Annual Percentage Rate as a comparative tool was designed as a basis on which borrowers could compare LONG-TERM sources of finance such as Mortgages and Car Loans. The logic is that a loan spread over many years would be given a 1 year or Annual Percentage Rate as a means of offering a fair comparative to prospective customers. Since all Brentwood Trading Company Loans are over 20 weeks and thus less than 1 year, the application of an APR as a comparative mechanism offers no meaningful comparison with long term lenders.
Long term lenders provide an entirely different source of finance for entirely different uses. Home Credit is not intended as a long term source of finance such as that which some other lenders provide, with for example a Home Loan. Typical uses of Home Credit include holidays, family events, Christmas expenditure, and small home renovations.
No hidden charges
Brentwood Trading Company provides no hidden charges over the base rate. As distinct from other credit providers including credit card companies and payday lenders the amount repayable on any given loan will never increase beyond that amount originally agreed despite any unforeseen change in circumstances or an extension of the original repayment period.
We pride ourselves on affording our customers complete transparency in the loan process from introduction, to credit assessment, to credit agreement, to collection, and in all specific circumstances that our customers may encounter throughout their loan term.
