Things you need to know and consider before entering into a Credit Agreement:
You should make sure you understand what is involved before entering into the Credit Agreement. Ask yourself the following questions:
Is the credit suitable for what I want to use it for?
The Running-Account Credit Agreement is specifically designed for repayments of insurance premiums and is not suitable for any other use.
It allows you to spread the payment of your insurance premium and related products over a period of time, allowing you to manage your cash flow over the term of your insurance policy.
What will it cost me?
The principal costs of the credit are set out in the Pre-Contract Credit Information document including details of the repayments, any fees or charges, the total amount you will have to pay and the interest rate. The Pre-Contract Credit Information document also shows you the APR, which may assist you in comparing the overall cost of credit. You should consider whether you can afford the monthly repayments, even if your circumstances change.
What special features might this agreement have that I need to be aware of?
You have the right to repay all or some of the credit early. However, if you wish to do this, you will be charged interest as laid out in the terms and conditions of the agreement.
The insurance policy forms the security for this Credit Agreement and your insurance policy may be cancelled if you fail to meet your repayment obligations.
You have to make your monthly repayments by direct debit. If your direct debit instruction is cancelled and not replaced, we may terminate the Credit Agreement.
The agreement automatically continues if we invite you to renew your insurance policy and repay by direct debit. We reserve the right to refuse to allow you to finance further premiums by using credit provided by, us at any time, for reasons relating to your creditworthiness.
What if I am unable to pay my monthly repayment on time?
Missing payments could have serious consequences. We will report missed payments to credit reference agencies, which may make it more difficult and expensive for you to obtain credit from us and other lenders.
If you fail to make a monthly payment when it is due, for example if you cancel your direct debit instruction, then we may terminate the Credit Agreement. If you do not pay any outstanding balance within the required number of days, then we may also cancel your insurance policy and related products which would leave you without the protection of insurance cover.
Can I change my mind?
You have the right to withdraw from the Credit Agreement before the end of 14 days beginning on the later of: the day after the day on which the agreement is made or you receive a copy of the agreement. To withdraw you must notify us that you intend to do so by telephoning us on 03300 240 123, writing to us at Provident Insurance, PO Box 847, Dean Clough, Halifax, HX1 9RE or emailing us at help@JohnLewisInsurance.co.uk.

When you ask us to finance any transactions under this agreement we will tell you the monthly minimum payments you will be required to make. These will be calculated by applying the total sum borrowed plus interest due under each relevant transaction and dividing by the remaining term of the relevant insurance policy. If there is more than one transaction under this agreement, we will add together the total payments to produce a monthly minimum amount.
In respect of your first transaction there will be an advance payment of £, followed by 11 equal monthly instalments of £.

-
In respect of your first transaction the amount payable is £. This is the amount you will pay if you do not add any further transactions to this agreement.
Because this agreement allows you to borrow on future occasions, we have to use an example APR calculation based on standard assumptions. We assume that you will have a credit limit of, and borrow £1200. You will repay that sum, together with interest, by 11 equal instalments at monthly intervals, starting 1 month after your initial transaction, and the rate of interest will not change. Based on this example, if you borrow £1,200 the total amount repayable would be £1,363. The actual amount you will pay is dependent on how much you borrow and how long you borrow it for.

Costs of the credit
- The rates of interest which apply to the Credit Agreement
-
% will be added to the total amount of credit. This equates to an annual interest charge of 14.8%

-
Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APR)
This is the total cost expressed as an annual percentage of the total amount of credit
The APR is there to help you compare different offers
-
% (variable, representative)

- You will have a credit limit of, and will borrow £1,200
- You will repay that sum, plus interest, by 11 equal instalments, at monthly intervals
- The interest rate will not change.
Related costs
- Costs in the case of late payments
- No charges will be applied for late or missed payments but interest will continue to apply on overdue unpaid amounts at the applicable interest rate until we receive payment, before and after judgment.
- Consequences of missing payments
- Missing payments could have severe consequences. If you fail to make a payment or cancel a payment instruction in respect of any payments due under this agreement we may cancel the insurance policy and related products that the credit is being used to pay for. This would leave you without the protection of insurance cover. We may also take legal proceedings to recover what you owe which may mean you have to pay our costs and mean you have a court order against you. It could also make it harder for you to obtain credit in the future.
