What should I know about a sponsored comparison ranking?

A ranking may reflect commercial arrangements as well as the factors shown on the page.

Read its stated methodology and identify which products and costs it includes.

Use actual quotes and conditions to complete the comparison. A high position does not establish suitability, approval or the lowest total cost for a particular borrower.

Prepare a question about a loan charge

Compare legal details and independently verified contact information before sharing application documents.

Definitions

Total repayable
Sum payable under the stated schedule and its assumptions; contingent charges and changes must be considered separately.
Amount received
Money actually made available to the borrower, which can differ from the stated loan amount if a charge is deducted.
