Blemain finance

[john351970]

Hello to everyone and I wonder if you can give me some advice please.

 

We took out a loan with Blemain finance in 2007 for £20,000 to finish our house renovation.

 

We have been paying it for the last 7 years and when

 

I received a statement form them it says we owe £27,000.

 

I have worked it out that we have paid over £20,000 to them already

so i am puzzled as to how we can still owe this much.

 

Any help mill be greatly appreciated.

Regards

John

depends how the agreement is written.

 

and how the interest is charged.

 

you'd have to scan them up

Hi John,

blemain are experts in adding costs to accounts,

 

your statement which you say you have may not actually show your charges which have been applied to the account,

only the payments you have made and where payments were due and missed if any and

 

then a running outstanding balance figure which includes any charges you have incurred.

 

im sure on that statement it will tell you what i have just said and then it will go on by saying if you wish to know of any charges

and interest that may be accruing on your account then you should contact us.

 

Call them and ask for the "list of costs and charges" which they will send to you separately.

 

It would be advisable for you to send them a SAR and a CCA request in the meantime as it will save time later.

Many Thanks,

I will do this 1st thing Monday morning.

I have been reading horror stories about this company and I think I will have a battle on my hands to have them treat me fairly.

Apparently the capital in coming down by approx £20 a month but the interest on fees is going up by £43 a month

I'll let you know how I get on and would be grateful of advice as to the next stage.

Kindest regards and thank again

John

Depending on the fees you could reclaim them. Especially any insurances.

They con people out of money by first adding charges i.e insurance late payment fees letters and anything they can make up, then you are charged interest on top ask for a full and thorough break down of all fees, charges, interest. you may even find that the payments they told you to pay were never enough to pay off the loan. This company is as bad as it gets (1.25 million fine in Dec 2012 by FSA for poor treatment to its customers and yet they boast awards for being such a good company (good for dodgy, could'nt care less about there clients, brokers)

Hi everyone, I have received a letter from Blemain finance offering to reimburse me £1300 off the loan account. This doesnt seem like anywhere near enough and I wondered if anyone know what i should do next?

Thank you and look forward to your advice.

At a guess £1300 relates to one of the many charges and possibly the most obvious one that a professional would pick up. have you seen a full break down of your costs and charges. one thing for sure it will certainly be an under payment

Hi,

 

 

 

 

my mam took a loan out of £4,00 and then upped it to £12,00 and

 

 

my dad did not know about this until my mam died he was not happy,

 

 

altogether with what they paid back over 20 yrs at £400 a month was astonishing.

 

 

When we contacted Blemain finance and asked them to send copies of the loan agreement

they said they would but never did.

 

 

We phoned on several occasions and asked if their was ppi on it they said no.

 

 

What a horrible company.

 

 

I will let yous work out how much they paid back as I feel sick when I think about it.

 

 

I feel sick to my stomach for all of you people who are still struggling.

sar time then

my mam took a loan out of £4,00 and then upped it to £12,00 and

 

my dad did not know about this until my mam died he was not happy,

 

 

If it's a secured loan either:

 

a) The property is in your mother's name only

b) Your mother forged your father's signature

c) The lender hasn't followed the law and there could be scope for a challenge to the validity of the agreement.

[myshellsmith]

My dad has since died but my mam had never told him of the loan, she was good at signing forms in his name as he had parkinsons and shook a lot with this. The loan has now been paid of for about 6 yrs so dont, think we could do anything about it.
