Positive names very negative opinions5 Aug 2020 11:11
Sunset and Steve - you give both a bad name. DYO research! Your negative posts are backed up with no facts. Look at the history here, EPS 19.40p dividend 9.32p (2019). The main shareholder who rejected an offer of 21p a share is selling as he wanted the board to do challenge the company’s rollover position about paying out to claims of loans being unaffordable or miss-selling. Yes there is risk if the loans were being issued to customers (and their guarantors) who didn’t understand terms or couldn’t afford the loan, (but this could still be challenged and processes improved - such as recorded calls etc). Even if it is found or decided to continue paying out historic claims there was enough provision made for the amount of claims being made - not all of which will be valid, in the last set of results. Having a CEO back with legal qualifications who helped the company gain initial approval with the FCA should allow lending to restart and profits to roll back in. It would be in the interest of the FCA to see future profits come in to pay out any valid claims and avoid any legal wrangling over their own initial approval processes. The FCA are not there to hammer companies just ensure customers are protected. If amigo goes those customers who are excluded from mainstream lenders may have to resort to backstreet unregulated lenders. All in my honest opinion. Get a life instead of being negative!
