the APR isnt the issue, its the FCA / FOS changing the afordability criteria and trying to backdate it.
If it was then simply changing the top rate to 39.95% and undercutting the big banks, loaning to less people who really need access to finance would solve the issue.
and if FCA still think amigo is not affordable then they can investigate every bank, credit card, car financing company and everyone else under the sun that is charging more.
dont forget that even the likes of Halifax charge *up to* 29.9% for standard loans to sub prime customers (and they do actually charge these rates to some people too). not much difference between 49% and 29%, if one is not affordable the other is aswell.
