Non-Status Leasing
Designed for customers with a limited or non-existent UK credit history — not a route for adverse credit, County Court Judgments (CCJs) or bad credit.
“Non-status” refers to having little or no UK credit history — not a poor credit history. It's a common situation for people who are new to the UK, have recently become financially independent, or simply haven't needed credit before.
This service is designed to open up leasing to that specific group of customers. It is important to be clear about what it is not: non-status leasing is not available to customers with bad credit, County Court Judgments (CCJs), or other adverse credit history.
If you have a limited credit file rather than a damaged one, get in touch and our team can talk you through the realistic options available to you.
