What if I still owe money on the security I have available to use?
That’s OK, we consider each Loan Application individually. You may even want us to pay the outstanding debt on your security, and consolidate it into your new loan with us so that you have one less bill to pay.
What if I don’t have any security to offer?
We may need a Co-borrower or Guarantor who has suitable security to sign onto the loan with you. They will have the same liability as if they were the main Borrower.
Can I consolidate all my debts with Pacific Finance?

Can I get cash?

How do I make loan repayments?

Do you lend to people with bad credit?

Do you lend to people on a Benefit?
We assess each Loan Application based on the person applying so if you meet our lending criteria and conditions, then yes we will lend to you.

Do I need an appointment?
