There is no upper limit to the amount we can loan you, but the amount offered will be dependant on the value of the item(s) you bring in to use as security. The amount offered will be similar to our normal buying price for such item(s). For larger amounts multiple items can be used either on one contract or multiple contracts, this can helpful when redeeming your items Top
The item(s) you use as security will remain with us, either in our safes or secure stock rooms until you redeem them or the contract on them expires. After that the item(s) will be put up for sale or go to auction. Top
Our Buyback option is up to 28 days, our Pawnbroking contacts are up to 7 months and are regulated by the Consumer Credit act 1974. Top
7) What happen to my item(s) if I don't come back?
If you use our Buyback option after the 28 day period has expired the item(s) are simply put out for sale as we would for any other stock purchase.
If you use our pawnbroking service and the contract is not redeemed we will dispose of your item(s) on your behalf for a fair market price to recover the amount you borrowed. If the amount realised from such sales (after deducting sale costs) is more than the amount you owe at the date of the sale, we will notify you of any surplus, which you can collect from the store. If the item(s) sale does not realise enough to clear the balance outstanding we will not ask you for the difference, it will be written off ,this would have no impact on your credit rating and you would be free of the contract with us. You would be welcome to use our services again. Top
3) What if I have a bad credit rating or a CCJ?
We do not need to perform any personal income or credit checks and using any of our services will not affect your credit rating. Top
15) Can I make monthly payments towards my loan?
Yes, there is an option to make part payments, but only on the pawnbroking service. Top
14) What if I lose my contract/forms?
If you loose your Buyback form then come in with two forms of ID. If you loose your Pawnbroking contract and the amount you borrowed is over £75, then come into store. We will issue you an affidavit which you will need to get signed and stamped by a solicitor. They may make a charge for this service. Once you have a signed and stamped affidavit return to store and we will use this as your contract. This must all happen on the same day. Top
13) Can my friend or family member pick up my item(s)?
No, you must collect your item(s) in person Top.
8) If I use the pawnbroking service do I have to come in every month to pay the interest?
No, you pay the amount borrowed plus the interest to date when you come to collect your item(s). Top
9) Can I use a credit/debit card to collect my item(s)?
No, unfortunately we can only accept cash, however a credit/debit card can be used to purchase any item in our store. Top
10) What if I run out of time to get my item(s) back?
If you are getting close to the end of the contract date and are worried you are going to loose your item(s) then please phone or come in and discuss any further options that may be available to you. Top
11) Why do Buybacks and Pawnbroking?
Pawnbroking is used for item(s) that will hold their value over the course of the loan like gold jewellery and watches, Buybacks are used for item(s) that tend to depreciate much quicker, like mobiles, game consoles, televisions. Top
12) Are my item(s) covered by your insurance?
No, you have to make your own arrangements for insurance or check with your own contents insurers to see if your own policy will cover them. Top
16) Can I just borrow some cash?
No, we would always require some kind of security against the loan. Top

17) Complaints procedure for clients of H&H Pawnbrokers
Your right to complain.
We aim to offer a consistently high level of service. Unfortunately, occasionally there may be situations where you feel we have fallen short of the high standards we set ourselves. As such we would like to hear about what we did that left you unhappy. We consider a complaint to be any oral or written expression of dissatisfaction, whether justified or not, from, or on behalf of, a person about the provision of, or failure to provide, a financial service, which alleges that the complainant has suffered (or may suffer) financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience and relates to an activity of our firm which is subject to the jurisdiction of the FOS.
We can provide a copy of this documented process on request and when acknowledging
a complaint. There will be no charge for this and a complaint can be made and received via any reasonable means, including letter, emails or in person.
What you can do.
In the first instance let us know. Do not be afraid to ask to speak to a manager. We are are family run business based in Plymouth, so senior management is never far away and a speedy resolution to your complaint can often be achieved.
Making a complaint
You can put your complaint in writing and then either send it in addressed to H&H, 33 Mayflower Street, Plymouth, PL1 1QJ or Email to johnwants@btconnect.com. If you perfer, you can come in store and arrange to or meet with either John Horton or Adam Gregory to discuss your complaint in person.
If your complaint cannot be resolved within 72 hours following its receipt, we will promptly send you a written acknowledgement of your complaint.
Your complaint will be investigated diligently and will be assessed fairly, consistently and promptly.
We will ensure that you are regularly kept informed of our progress with regards to the investigation into your complaint. We will undertake a thorough and timely investigation of your complaint. However, in the event that we are unable to conclude our enquiries within 56 days, we will write to you and let you know when we expect to be in a position to issue our Final Response letter.
Resolving your Complaint
When we have finalised the investigation into your complaint, we will send you our Final Response letter. This letter will be fair, clear and not misleading. It will confirm details of our investigation, the decision made, and if relevant, include any offer of remedial action or the appropriate level of redress (or both), and weather any further action is required.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint then you can refer it to The
Financial Ombudsman Service. This is a free of charge independent service for resolving
disputes, but you must do this within 6 months of you receiving our final decision
letter. If you do not refer your complaint in time, the Ombudsman will not have our
permission to consider your complaint and so will only be able to do so in very limited
circumstances. You can if you wish refer your complaint to the FOS at any time, not
just at the end of our investigation, but they will require our consent to investigate
your complaint where we haven’t had the chance to put things right, or we haven’t
exceeded the 56-
