CashEuroNet Who operates Quickquid and Pounds2Pocket is to offer redress...

 

CashEuroNet, trading as the short-term lenders Quick Quid and Pounds to Pocket, has agreed to provide £1.7m in redress to almost 4,000 customers.

 

The company made the agreement with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) after the regulator raised concerns about its lending criteria.

 

The firm has now changed its lending criteria and reassessed all loans granted since April 1 2014, and which were in arrears for 30 days or more against the new criteria.

 

As a result the firm identified a group of customers who were lent more than they could afford.

 

The 3,940 affected customers will receive redress totaling £1.7m as follows:

 

• 2,523 customers will have their current loan balance written off;

• 961 customers will be paid a cash refund of interest paid on the unaffordable element of the loan;

• 456 customers will receive both a cash refund and have their current loan balance written off.

 

Remember folks... Read closely... Loans AFTER 1st April 2014 affected...

CashEuroNet UK LLC, trading as Quick Quid and Pounds to Pocket has agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide redress to almost 4,000 customers to the value of £1.7m. This follows concerns raised by the FCA about the firm’s lending criteria.

 

The FCA has been working with the firm since it took over regulation of consumer credit on 1 April 2014. An independent Skilled Person was appointed in September 2014 to review CashEuroNet’s lending decisions which revealed that some customers were able to borrow amounts greater than they could afford to repay.- Link

Customers do not need to take any action. CashEuroNet will start contacting customers immediately and plans to complete the redress exercise within the next 60-90 days. There is also further information on the websites of Quick Quid and Pounds to Pocket.

 

Although 1.7 million sounds a lot i feel there are many others who have possible claims against many payday companies going back years.

If you feel like trying which is your right a article that explains.

Ive read the article and this is promising, had a p2p loan from april 2013 which i think i made 1 payment towards then defaulted, default shows on noddle and clearscore.

Will be sending a cca request as the search history only goes back 2 yrs so nothing there to see. All i can remember is applying on my phone and as a carer on benefits, there was no paperwork at all.

My aim will be to wipe the loan and all cra data pertaining to it

Once ive sent the CCA I'll begin a thread for it
