Trustpilots entire busines model is to acquire bad reviews to make companies pay them so they can flood them with good reviews - something Amigo cannot do as they are not lending - the best way to get a good review is to ask the person who has borrowed the money to write a review before they have spent it and then do not want to pay it back!
These reviews have been written by lots of people (and I am generalising) who have borrowed money they cannot pay back and sometimes the guarantor is having to pay their installments. So they are embarrassed and fighting for their families money under the guise that they should never have been lent it in the first place (this is becuase they have heard the FOS are ruling in thier favour). And most of them will say anything in order to get some money back from amigo. Surely people should take some responsibiliy for themselves... if I earn £5000 a month and have overheads of £4500 I am not going to take out a loan with repayments of £1000 a month because I will not be able to meet them. And if I did and my dad had to pay them back, that's my problem and I ahve to deal with it.
I do buy that Amigo perhaps have not asked enough questions, but trust me, I own a company with a very goood reputation, I pride myself in the quality and price competitiveness of my products (and the quality of my customer service), yet if you read some of the reviews on Trustpilot you would think I was (almost) as bad as amigo, but when it comes to an FCA regulated companies, people will say anything when they think they think there is money in it.....

The reality is you should not of borrow what they could not afford to pay back
