How do Anglesey Logbook Loans work exactly?

V5 loans are particularly popular with those who have less than favourable credit scores.
What documents do I need to apply?
When you enquire about a loan, lenders do their best to not only prevent fraud, but also to reduce risk. For this reason, you will need several different documents. Your government-issued ID, a copy of your logbook, proof of insurance, a utility bill for proof of Anglesey residency, a current MOT, and proof of income are all requirements when you enquire. Make sure you have the most recent versions of these for the best chances of being approved.
Are V5 Logbook Loans a good idea?

If you have been refused a loan elsewhere in Anglesey, a loan secured against your car might be the solution because of the easy application process and simple requirements. Although all Llandegfan loan applicants are still credit checked, these loans can often be a solution for those with a poor credit score, but own a car which they can use as collateral. As responsible lenders, credit checks have to be undertaken so as to establish whether the loan is affordable. However, people with poor credit scores may still find themselves eligible to borrow.
Do I qualify if I can’t prove my income?
To qualify for Llandegfan V5 loans, you need to prove to the loan lender that you can afford to make your loan repayments.

If you don’t have a perfect credit score, you might still be eligible to borrow so long as you are in a position to prove that you’re able to repay your loan.

You will need to notify your lender if anything reduces the value of your car significantly, including damage or mechanical problems. However, your lender will expect some additional mileage and the usual wear and tear throughout the loan term.
