One of the UK's major payday lenders will refund £15.4m to 147,000 customers - many of whom were given loans they could not afford to repay.

 

Dollar Financial UK, which owns brands including The Money Shop, Payday UK, Payday Express and Ladder Loans, agreed the compensation after a review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

 

The company apologised to those who "suffered difficulties".

 

It is the third-biggest repayment by a payday lender in recent years.

Compensation relates to the affordability of loans taken out in the year to April 2015, as well as the collection of repayments on loans taken out between January 2013 and the end of April 2015.

During this time - in July 2014 - the company agreed to review its lending practices and refund customers a total of £700,000.

 

Well thats poor!

Surely they would look at claims going further back though. The further back, the less attention lenders seemed to pay to the rules.

 

That may be because the FCA only took over in April 2014 and the rules got tougher

 

I wonder if it also means they will recommence chasing people who have fallen off their radar?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I know 15 million pounds sounds a lot.

But not enough for me.

I will not forget how these predators targeted the people and communities of Great Britain the way they did.

 

To 147,000 customers.

A quick guess about 100-150 pounds each perhaps.2nd attempt at that,i admit to that.

So i suggest claiming back from them much further back than that.

I am nearly spitting feathers out reading this paltry amount.

How to reclaim as much as you can.

Their charges and rip off fees and the rest they put you through.

Maybe i am a bit green missing something here.If i am put me right.

 

Well how to claim back those charges and fees and a template letter to fill in at your leisure.

Go back,go for the jugular,not scratch them.As long back in history as you like.

If you have not got all the paperwork do not worry.There are ways to get that information.

Whoever the lender is go at them.Like a mosquito that is starving for food.

Get right in their faces.Get them wriggling round like ferrets in a sack.

I will calm down now,got rather roused for a moment.

I do apologise for those with a gentle nature.

But i have seen what those parasites have done over many years to the people of Great Britain.

 

A link for you.At least read it.Who knows.
