Our Regulated Services

BTS Cars Limited is a credit broker, not a lender.

Our Fees and Charges

We do not charge our customers any fees for our credit broking services or for the cancellation of a credit agreement with a credit provider on our panel.

The lender we introduce you to may pay us a commission, which is either a fixed fee or a percentage of the amount you borrow. The amount of commission we receive does not affect what you pay under your credit agreement.

Commission Disclosure

We are required to disclose the total amount of commission received from the lender. This will be provided to customers at or before the point of sale, either electronically or in a physical format.

Benefits of Our Credit Broking Service

  • One-stop solution for car selection and finance.
  • Access to a panel of reputable lenders.
  • Streamlined processes and faster approvals.

Limitations of Our Credit Broking Service

  • You may find better rates elsewhere by shopping around.
  • Our options are limited to the lenders on our panel.

Credit Searches

Lenders may conduct a full credit search. If the first lender cannot offer a credit facility, we may approach other lenders. Details of any credit search will be provided by the lender prior to agreement.

Information You Provide

You must ensure all information provided is accurate. Inaccurate information may void the agreement. If unsure, please contact us

How We Use Your Data

Your data will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and may be shared with our partnered lenders to help secure the most suitable finance product. More details are in our Privacy Notice.

Suitability and Affordability

Credit products may not be suitable for everyone. Always consider your financial situation before entering into an agreement. Failure to repay may lead to legal action and negatively impact your credit score.

You can cancel a regulated credit agreement within 14 days of signing. After that, your rights may be affected, and fees may apply. Cancellation must be done directly with the lender.
