Startin Group Payment Assist and How It Works

At Startin Group, we know the financial strain an unexpected repair, service, or MOT bill can cause. Sometimes, your vehicle needs urgent work you hadn’t budgeted for, and delaying essential repairs could compromise road safety.

That's where Payment Assist steps in - offering 0% interest, Payment Assist helps you spread the cost of any unforeseen bill into manageable monthly instalments, making it easier to keep your vehicle in top condition without the financial stress.

With no added fees, a high approval rate, and a simple, hassle-free sign-up, why not ask about Payment Assist next time you bring your car in?

See below to understand how it works

Step 1

Susan has an unexpected bill for £400, but doesn't have available funds to cover it.

Step 2

She pays just £100 today as a deposit to take out the finance plan while we pay the merchant's invoice in full.

Step 3

Susan pays us a further £100 per month for three more months, and then she's all done. Simple!

Frequently Asked Questions

There genuinely isn’t one. Quite simply, rather than incurring the cost of borrowing money from other sources, use Payment Assist and pay no interest or fees on the funds you need, providing your payments are made in line with the payment plan.

The collection dates can be changed free of charge, by contacting Payment Assist on 01664 503151 or admin@paymentassist.co.uk

We simply check that your card has adequate funds to pay the initial deposit and the address registered to your debit card, but no ‘footprint’ is left on your credit status and this online check takes seconds. In some circumstances we may need to carry out a full credit check, where we will ask for your permission before this takes place.

We send out a reminder email 7 days before a payment is due, to allow enough time for the customer to arrange for the sufficient funds to be in the account.

The repayments are collected via a recurring transaction agreement from the debit card. If the debit card used for the deposit expires, is replaced or cancelled, it must be updated on our system before we can continue to collect the repayments. It can be updated by contacting Payment Assist on 01664 503151 or admin@paymentassist.co.uk

Finance Disclosure

Startin Group Ltd and Thomas Startin Junr Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd's permissions as a Principal Firm allows Startin Group Ltd, Thomas Startin Junr Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required
