Scan/V12 Finance Issue

[Mr. AZ]

Hi all!

First time user here, be gentle

Was just going through the web order application for the 10% deposit and pay 9 months later option, and came across something which has more or less halted my application.

In the "Financial" section of the application, regarding the Identity Check, I see only 3 options: Driving Licence and Passport, Electricity Bill and Passport & Electricity Bill and Driving Licence. My issue is that I do not possess a passport, as I haven't been out of the country since 2001 and have no intention of doing so and as such I've never seen the need to go out and spend £70+ on something I won't be using. I do not possess an electricity bill as I am in rented accommodation and (somehow) my electricity is factored into my rates, and I am in the process of ordering a replacement driving license as my provisional went missing some time ago.

I called the number at V12 finance and they said that Scan is pretty strict with their ID verification - is this the case? Is there no other forms of ID I could provide that would confirm my identity - e.g. bank statements, medical card etc?

Many thanks in advance

Mr. AZ

The ID is required by the Finance Company as part of their application process, we are speaking with them as we understand it's perfectly reasonable for the ID currently requested not to be available to applicant.

Unfortunately in this case V12 are currently unable to provide Finance in Northern or Republic of Ireland. The Laser Identification system is unable to process any application for Northern Ireland due to the documents it needs to verify the customer identification (this may change in the future). As a lender in Sterling V12 are unable to provide finance in the republic of Ireland due to the Euro currency used.

Best Regards

Oh, I see.

Well, thanks for your response anyway.
