The type of credit

Unsecured Consumer Credit Agreement

The total amount of credit £0,000

This means the amount of credit to be provided under the proposed credit agreement or the credit limit.

How and when credit would be provided.

The credit will be provided to you by transferring the total amount of credit to the University you have nominated to receive the credit, once we have accepted your application and signed the agreement.

The duration of the credit agreement

The maximum duration is 120 months. Repayments are income contingent, as such a student will likely clear the balance within 48 - 60 months.

Repayments

You will pay by direct debit 10% of your gross monthly salary (calculated monthly in arrears) which will equate to monthly payments of £000 each, starting twelve (12) months after the agreement date, and only in months when you have income, and continuing on the same day in each calendar month for the term of the agreement.

Your repayments will pay off what you owe in the following order:

The amount of your repayments is calculated to reduce the principal amount you owe us to zero by the end of the term of the agreement.

If you pay less than the full amount of each instalment, we will use the money to pay off first, any fees and charges applied to your account; and second to pay off the amount of credit outstanding under this agreement starting with the arrears.

The total amount you will have to pay

This means the amount you have borrowed plus inflation costs

£0,000

This is the total amount payable by you under the agreement assuming that you do not default under the agreement.

It is made up of the amount of credit shown on page one, plus a total charge for credit of £0,000.

Costs of the credit

The rate(s) of inflation which apply to the credit agreement.

Inflation (RPI) at a variable rate of 3% APR (with a minimum rate of 1% and a maximum rate of 5% APR) is calculated and charged on the outstanding balance from the agreement date until you have paid in full the Total Amount of Credit plus any other amounts due under this Agreement in full.

Annual percentage rate of charge (APR)

This is the total cost expressed as an annual percentage of the total amount of credit.

1.9% (APR) - The APR is there to help you compare different offers of credit.

RELATED COSTS

Costs in the case of late payments

Late Repayment Charges

If a borrower cannot make a payment, then if they inform EF in advance then there will not be any charges.

1st Attempt - EF will attempt to collect a payment on Day 1, if the payment is declined they will attempt again.

2nd Attempt - EF will attempt to collect a payment on Day 5, if the payment is declined they will attempt again.

3rd Attempt - EF will attempt to collect a payment on Day 10, if the payment is declined they will attempt again.

There are no charges for the borrower for the first three attempts to collect payment.

If a Borrower is not fewer than 11 days late in making payment (and has failed to inform EF in advance), EF, its legal representative or the Collections Agency reserves the right to charge the Student an administration fee for the work it does in attempting to collect their Repayments ("Late Payment Fee"). The Late Payment Fee will be £50, and in no event greater than the maximum allowed by UK law, except where it is necessary to employ a field agent has been employed as part of the collections process, in which case the Late Payment Fee will be the collections agency fee.

Long Term Default Fee

If the Student remains in long term default (4 months or more) without making a prior arrangement with EF then the EF through edaid.com can order instant payment of the entire remaining unpaid balance. If the Student has not paid the full amount of the balance when such final payment is due, then edaid.com on behalf of the EF will charge the Student a late payment fee each month on the unpaid balance at a rate of a ten percent per year (i.e., EF will multiply a factor of 0.00833 against the relevant balance and add that to the amount due). (“Unpaid Balance Charges”) on the unpaid balance at an APR of ten percent (10%) per year. Unpaid Balance Charges will not be assessed with respect to any instalment on which a Late Payment Fee has previously been collected.

As highlighted if a student is not earning then they are not repaying and as such will not be in default. We believe that we have the best possible forbearance protocols in the market and see TCF as a founding principle of EF.

We expect to charge no other fees.

Consequences of missing payments

Missing payments could have severe consequences and could result in legal proceedings being taken against you. If you miss a payment we may record your default with a credit reference agency who will keep a record of that default. This could make obtaining credit more difficult for you.
