Payday Loan Refund

Were you mis-sold a payday loan?
Payday loans are a form of short-term lending generally used to ease the financial position of an individual between the time of the loan and payday hence the name Payday Loans.

“It is not fair or responsible to lend to an individual where it is clear that the lending will only make their financial situation worse.”

The difficulty with payday loans historically was that it was relatively easy for one to fall into a cycle of dependency on them. Due to the ease in which they were obtained and the high rates of interest.

As a result of the dependency that ensued in many cases and the high rate of interest people found themselves in a position where they were borrowing from one lender to pay off another lender at increasing rates in what's was on many occasions a downward spiral. This scenario continued for a number of years in a number of cases up until 2015 when the rules were changed. At that point in time a lot of people who were historically granted payday loans would have found that their new applications were suddenly rejected.

.... ”
Part of the spirit of the changes that came into play but meant to prevent people from getting to payday loan spirals and also highlighting the fact that lenders needed to ensure that they were treating customers fairly.

It is not fair or responsible to lend to an individual where it is clear that the lending will only make the situation worse.

Given the rules that exist it is possible to seek redress from your lender where they failed to spot a cycle of dependency or having spotted the same failed to act accordingly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • My loan has been written off by my payday lender, am I entitled to any refund?

    Yes, in some cases you will be entitled to a refund where your payday lender has sought fit to cancel your loan.

  • As a result of my payday loan, I am now in financial difficulties. Do I have a claim?

    Yes, you may have a claim as the payday lender does have a duty to assess your financial circumstances insofar as it relates to your ability to afford repayments on the loan.

  • I know nothing about the high interest rates. Am I able to ask for a refund?

    In circumstances where you are not made aware of the high interest rates, it may well be arguable that you have not been treated fairly by the lender, or given the information that you needed to establish whether the loan was the correct thing for you and, as such, you may be entitled to some of that interest back.

  • I have been charged high default fees of £30.00 by my payday lender. Can I get these back?

    Yes, we believe that sometimes default fees can be excessive and, in those circumstances, you should be able to succeed in a complaint to the lender requesting that the default fees be paid back.

  • As a result of taking out my payday loan I am now in greater financial difficulty than I was when I started. Do I have a claim?

    If the lender should have been made aware of your financial circumstances and proceeded to continue to lend money to you then it is arguable that they have failed to treat you fairly and should consider putting you in the position that you would have been in had they treated you fairly and that would sometimes include repaying the monies that they charged you back.
