interest free loans9 Nov 2020 20:09
Over on ADVFN Brocksford (thanks) posted a complainant's posting from Facebook.
"I had £10000 loan paid it @£427 pcm for a year ish still owed £9k nearly ( total loan and interest £21,000 )
Win my case on affordability, did it all myself no 3rd party company
They have cancelled all the interest & released my Guarentor too
I’d paid £5700 in total so own them £4300 which I’ve negotiated from £427 a month to £150 all interest free and they have just updated the credit files to reflect this outstanding balance too."
So there are three parts to this redress:
1. A cash adjustment (which I guess comes from the £150m+ Provisions figure?)
2. A reduction of the interest rate from 49.9% to 0%
3. An extension of the loan period.
2. and 3. have significant effects on the loan book revenue but I personally haven't seen these discussed in Amigo's reports.
