Well add me to the list of people taking on Welcome Finance!

 

Basically I have a loan with them which I took out this time last year for around £3000. I saw the FSA annoucement re GE Money and thought I would look into this, as I believe that I was told that no PPI equalled no loan! Checked my agreement and PPI of £1200 has been added on. I therefore rang local Welcome Office about this and spoke to a guy who said, yes I can cancel but they will get a reimbursement figure from Norwich Union and this will just be knocked off what I owe them, ie not reducing my payments in anyway. Now I believe that it shouldn't have been there in the first place. I didn't need it, I am covered through my job, and frankly it wouldn't cover me anyway (I am pregnant and it does not cover maternity leave), why I am therefore paying for it! So I have written a letter to them asking them to refund the balance and either amend my payments accoridngly or let me have an up to date balance which shows that this has been refunded! I have also stated I want all interest payable on the £1200 from when I took out the loan to date, which they have charged at the loan rate (some extortionate amount). I have also said I will serve a SAR on Norwich union for the info they hold on file about my loan which would reveal to me the "true cost" of the insurance! Which I believe is about 80% of what they have charged me!

Now the interesting thing here is I actually deal with these people at welcome from a business point of view as I am a Solicitor in the local area, and they are very familiar with me, and me with them. I am interested to see if this has any affect on how they deal with this, as when I spoke to one of the guys I did say I would consider legal action, etc etc, and he said they would "want to avoid that" at all costs! Basically one of the other Solicitors here took them to Court and won! Huh. We shall see.

So that's my story. Will let you know how I get on, and if my case can help someone else, then hope me sharing my story is worth it!

Well, I would like to say I had received a response from Welcome Finance, but what I have received is a compliments slip with a copy of the documents which I signed! HELLO! I am not disputing I signed them I know I did, I am disputing that I was not explained what the PPI was and that it was implied that this was required to be taken out to obtain the loan!!!!!! Where are their replies to my enquiries?

They are today getting a snotty letter back, and being told that as the account is in dispute no further payments will be made and interest is to be frozen!

Will keep you posted.

Whats this reference to the ferret. She akin to me is extremely nice sweet gentle natured kind to others who deserve it, but unfortunately when put in a corner and has to defend herself will fight to the death and take no prisoners.

 

Ooops sorry getting carried away again.
