Mis-sold Car Finance Claim
Travel Goals, Then Charges
20 Oct, 2021
Travel Goals, Then Charges Have you ever dreamed of doing a travel escapade? To take a journey of a thousand miles, away from home, apart from your daily routine and off to the great unknown. Working individuals always say this very popular travel quote “Jobs fills your pockets, Adventures fills your soul”. Yes, it is true that we all need to take a break from our everyday life and engage on activities that are quite fulfilling. We all have travel goals; it may be to a beautiful island somewhere in Maldives or Bora Bora, experience the culture and traditions of Asia or the amazing landscapes in the Azores in Portugal or the Dolomites in the north eastern part of Italy. Some would love to go to the amusement parks like the Disneyland in Paris France, Futuroscope in Poiters France, the Europa park in Germany and the Port Aventura in Spain. These are just a few of the travel goals the some people would love to spend their vacation out from their ordinary daily life. With those travel destinations brings happiness, experience and adventure not mentioning the different food and cuisines that are new and exciting to your palate. Travel goal comes with a cost. You’ll need to at least be ready to spend a fortune in order to travel. Though you have worked all year round just to fill your pockets in order to have a great adventure, you can’t escape from the reality than you’ll need to use your credit cards or debit cards in booking flights and hotel reservations and the like. Some may even take out a travel insurance just to make sure they are well secured for their family dream vacation. As the coronavirus pandemic led to a numerous travel cancellations, those individuals who have used their credit cards to book their flights and hotel reservations battled to get their money back. Those who availed travel insurances for their supposed holiday trip were not able to use their insurances at all and are also struggling in getting their money back. Others tried to settle with their travel provider in order to get a refund but some travel providers does not settle nor provide the refund. According to the (Financial Conduct Authority) FCA, in any case the travel provider won’t provide you the refund you have three options. First option, you can ask help from your credit card or debit card provider for a refund claim . Second option, you can reclaim your money back from the travel provider through a debit card or credit card provider scheme called “chargeback”. Chargeback claim works on (Mastercard, Visa and Amex) debit and credit cards. A chargeback claim occurs when the card holder paid the goods and services but the goods and services were not provided by the retailer, card holder already asked help from retailer for refund but no success. The last option is the Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. This only works for credit card purchases between £100 and £30,000. In Section 75 it clearly states there that if you have a claim of refund regarding a breach of contract with the retailer, the same claim can also be done against the credit card issuer. The claim may consist of a faulty product or product was not delivered as promised. Same goes with the travel insurance, you can use those options given above in order to get a refund claim . You might want to check with your claims management company near you or contact them to inquire for such claim and ways in helping you getting your money back through refund compensation .

19 Oct, 2021

Better than IVA - Individual Voluntary Agreement
18 Oct, 2021
Better than IVA What is an IVA? An Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) is a legally binding agreement to pay all your debts with your creditors over a period of time usually 5 to 6 years. The positive side of an IVA is since it is legally binding your creditors don’t have a choice but to stick to the agreement and they won’t be able to chase you for your debt. The downside of having an IVA is that once the IVA is in place which would normally take 5 to 6 years, you will be having a hard time to get a short term credit within that period of years because it will affect your credit rating. It would be difficult for you especially if there are family emergencies or unprecedented circumstances. In IVA you are not only paying back your debt but you are also affecting your credit rating and since it is legally binding you don’t have the option to skip payments since it will automatically be deducted from your finances since it is set up by a qualified insolvency practitioner. Since they are set up by an insolvency practitioner there are fees involved, making the IVA more expensive. An IVA will not work for you if you don’t have a fixed or permanent job since the cost for the insolvency practitioner plus the fixed monthly payments to your creditors is expensive. IVA can also affect your home mortgage if you own one; there is a big chance that you’ll have to re-mortgage it at the end of your IVA. Pensions, savings, properties and possessions may also be affected, pension money is considered as an income so whatever money you are receiving as an income will be considered as payment for the IVA. As for savings, properties and possessions there is a chance it will also be used to make payments for the IVA if in cases you switched jobs or you get a sudden unemployment for a short period of time. Best advice you might want to think it over before committing to an IVA.

Debt Trap: Escape The Endless Debt Cycle
07 Oct, 2021
Escape The Endless Debt Cycle Lending or borrowing system started way back 3000 years ago in ancient Greece and Rome. Borrowing has been a way of life for many individuals. Borrowing was meant to solve a short term problem, like for emergency purposes, unexpected payments or for an investment that would surely bring a hefty sum return of investment, but if you take a loan which is more than your financial capacity that can become a serious problem in the future. In reality, people take out loans for a number of different reasons. Being in debt is not that bad as long as you are able to manage your debt and finances but stay away from making it a habit ending into a debt cycle. A debt cycle is when you continue borrowing at a higher cost or interest leading into increased debt. It is when you borrow more than you can afford and spend more than you what you earn. Others even take a loan to pay other existing loans or take a loan just to keep up your current consumption that will become an endless debt cycle. Endless debt cycle is a serious problem for some people who find themselves in a position where they have existing debts which they are struggling to make repayments and takes out loans in order to consolidate existing loans. This can be either personal meaning a bad habit or administered and enforced. When we say personal level which means a bad habit, this is when a person or an individual is spending too much, too many outgoings even if they know how much income is coming in that could led to an endless debt cycle. While administered or enforced that means when a lender provided you a loan which is more than what you can financially handle, they did not do a proper affordability check or did not do a financial background then let you borrow again and roll over a loan many times increasing the cash loan amount together with the interest charge. The outcome is always an endless debt cycle.

Tenancy Deposit Disputes
22 Sep, 2021
Tenancy Deposit Disputes : What you need to know and how to be eligible for a claim. When renting a home normally the landlord will ask the tenant to pay a deposit and the landlord uses tenancy deposit as a way to protect them in cases when a tenant leaves property or home without paying rent and caused damages to the property. According to the law (Housing Act 2004), tenancy deposits paid on or after 6th April 2007, the landlord must protect the tenant’s deposit money in a Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme within 30 days upon receipt of the tenancy deposit. For the landlord to comply with the law: 1. they need to belong to a scheme 2. they need to register the tenancy deposit through the database of the specific scheme 3. they need to pay the membership subscription fee or the tenancy deposit protection charge There are only three (3) Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme governed and protected by law: 1. Tenancy Deposit Scheme 2. Deposit Protection Service 3. My Deposits At the end of your tenancy the landlord must return your deposit within 10 days upon agreement of how much you are getting back. How do you get the full return of your deposit at the end of your tenancy? 1. Fulfil the terms and agreement of you tenancy. 2. No damages on the property. 3. Fully paid rent and utility bills. In cases wherein any of the above mentioned was not followed or observed by the tenant, the tenant will have to work this out with the landlord with an agreement on how much will be deducted from their tenancy deposi t. Until they reached into an agreement or while the tenant is in dispute with the landlord regarding the breach of agreement, the tenant’s deposit is still protected in the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme until the issue is sorted out. How can I be eligible for a Tenancy Deposit Claim ? As mentioned earlier, the most important factor to qualify for filing a claim is that the payment of your tenancy deposit must be on or after 6th April 2007. Any payments before the said date will not be considered. The second qualification for filing a claim is that if your landlord failed to protect your tenancy deposit by not registering with one of the Tenancy Deposit Schemes and did not provide any notice or certification that your deposit has been registered within 30 days upon receiving the tenancy deposit money. If you believed you are eligible to qualify for a Tenancy Deposit Claim, having a professional claims analysts like us on your back will make things smoother and ensuring success with your claim.

High Cost Lender Refunds High cost loans has been a source of distress, hardship and suffering for thousands of people especially when the lender has not done proper affordability checks upon lending or even when re-lending. This has made many individuals struggling to get through after making loan payments. Mostly the target of high cost lenders are those who are vulnerable, people who lacks the capacity to recover quickly from financial difficulties and those who have poor credit histories. These are the individuals that often have multiple credit products, who juggle repayments and sometimes decide which debt they need to prioritize in paying when they don’t have enough to pay all multiple debts. High cost lenders often target those who are repeat borrowers because it has a strong indicator of a pattern of high dependency on high cost credit. The amount of debt and repayments increases significantly, until it reaches to the point where it is no longer affordable and sustainable for the customers. A lot of people thought that having the loans was a potential way out of their financial difficulty and since they were in need of funds at the time the loans were offered to them, it would be natural for them to accept it, what they don’t realize is their vulnerability was being exploited in the times of their needs. However, these high cost lenders granted these loans that exceeded their client’s capacity to pay; becomes evident that the loans were clearly unsustainable and unaffordable for their client. In addition, the absence of any appropriate and proportionate checks on our client’s financial standing go against existing financial regulations as well as prior jurisprudence on loan affordability as issued by the Financial Ombudsman. What are the indicators that you have been mis-sold a high cost loan ? • the lender did not undertake proper affordability checks • you have multiple loans and you are pressured in borrowing or taking out loans to pay off other loans • you have non-stop overdrafts • you were struggling to pay your loans • you were struggling to pay your essential bills like electricity, rent and council tax • you run out of food and essentials in order to pay the loans • you were in a debt cycle or debt trap • you missed your repayments • the loan was unaffordable Among the list of high cost lenders includes 01613021906 Money, Avant Credit, Everyday Loan, Lending Stream, Loans 2 Go, Satsuma, Bamboo, SafetyNet and many more.

What is PPI (Payment Protection Insurance)? According to the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and The Financial Ombudsman Sevice (FOS), Payment Protection Insurance - “was usually sold with products that you need to make repayments on, like a loan, credit card or mortgage.” “The PPI was designed to cover repayments in certain circumstances where you couldn’t make them yourself. These include if you were made redundant or couldn’t work due to an accident, illness, disability or death.” But the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) found out that mis-selling of PPI was rampant. More than £38 billion has already been paid back to people who complained about the mis-sold of PPI . That is what we call PPI Payout. Did you receive a Payment protection insurance (PPI) payout? Tax may have been deducted on your PPI payout . Why is tax taken off from PPI payouts? It is because the money you get paid back for PPI is a refund from the PPI you paid or the bank may have added outrageously an extra loan from your original loan only to pay for the PPI and you get annual statutory interest of 8% to match inflation. Among the three mentioned only one aspect of the PPI payout is tax deductible. Most financial institutions deducted 20% of this tax (statutory interest) before reimbursing your PPI payout instead of 8%. So if you received a £1,000 PPI payout you are entitled nearly about £100 tax return or if you received £15,000 PPI payout then your tax return could be as close as £1,470. Below is the table conversion for the Tax Return or Tax Refund for your PPI Payout :

Unaffordable Rent-to-Own
31 Mar, 2021
For us to understand how a loan can be deemed “unaffordable”, we first need to know the basic concept of debt relative to Economics. Economics comes from a Greek word that means management of a household. A household has its own budget and there are basic needs or expenses to be met like food, utilities, mortgage or rent, etc. A family needs to manage the finances wisely, so it can survive and does not run out of funds. Now, a household will not always have enough budget for every expense along the way, that is why it will need to incur debt at some point. From this concept alone, we can learn that once a household incurs a debt, it means that it is already filling a gap caused by a lack of resources. One type of loan that an individual can apply for is a Rent-to-Own (RTO) is an instalment framework usually utilized for family unit products such as refrigerators, clothes washers and TVs. Organizations offering this administration incorporate BrightHouse, Perfect Home, Buy As You View, Poundstretcher Ltd., Brick Warehouse Corporation, and numerous others. With Rent-to-Own purchase , you get the item straight away and pay for it weekly, fortnightly, or in regularly scheduled payments usually within one to three years, in addition to intrigue. These stipulations regularly incorporate protection or guarantee for the item. Now, incurring debt is not necessarily bad, but when you borrow you must be able to not only pay but also continue to manage the household and not compromise the other needs of the family. You also must think carefully before putting yourself in this position as the amount of money you pay back is always more than what you borrowed. How do we now ensure that a debt is sustainable? You should be able to gauge the debt amount and the amount you are able to pay relative to other expenses in the household. The individual or family’s collective salary should be enough to settle the loan and other bills or expenses in the household. It is now important to examine the nature of the debt through frequency and loan amount. When you have paid off a loan, but you had to default on other debts or bills, it means that the debt is unaffordable. When you keep paying and reapplying for another loan, it also indicates that you are now filling a long-term void in your finances that can only be solved through a loan. Given these sample scenarios, some lenders would just go on giving you more loans without making a fair assessment of your financial situation. If the creditor has not done proper affordability checks, they may have given you a loan that is larger than you need, or that you could afford to pay back. This is where responsible lending comes in. Responsible lending is a concept in the finance industry, ensuring lenders only offer you a loan if it suits your needs and circumstances. This means that by the time that they have approved your loan application, that they have made the effort to determine whether you can repay the loan without experiencing substantial hardship. If you are having difficulties paying your loan and you believe that your lender acted irresponsibly, then you might be eligible for a refund. Ingram Toft can help you file a complaint to your lender, and we will ask them to refund all the interests and charges you paid on your loan. Complete the short form below and let us do the work for you.

Healing your Credit Rating
25 Mar, 2021
Failing to pay your bills on time, having multiple credits and loans hurt your credit score. And what does it mean to have a bad credit rating? If a person has a bad credit, they will find it difficult to borrow money especially at competitive interest rates for the reason that they are considered "high risk" compared to other borrowers. It goes the same for all types of loans, including both secured and unsecured varieties, though there are options available for the latter. TAKEAWAYS • A person is considered to have a bad credit if they have a history of owing too much money, not paying their bills on time or not paying their debts at all. • A bad credit is often reflected as a low credit score--typically above 670, on a scale of 300 to 850. A score between 580 and 669 is considered fair. • People with a low credit score typically find it harder to get a loan or be granted a line of credit. How Do I Fix or Improve a Bad Credit Score? Many would settle for their current fair or bad credit rating because they do not know what to do. Listed below are some ways you can improve your credit rating. 1. Keep your unused credit card open. Do not close your unused credit card accounts and do not open new accounts that you don't need. Either ways can damage your credit rating. 2. Set auto-debit payments. This way, you will not forget your loans and credit card due dates and won't miss a payment. 3. Pay above the minimum. Make your payments above the minimum amount due, whenever possible. Set a realistic repayment goal and gradually clear your credit. 4. Seek help from a claims management company . Many people are unaware that when they file a claim against a lending company or a bank, it may bring them back to the position when they had not taken out the loan/credit. This means reversing your bad credit rating. Start improving your credit rating now! You might need a good credit rating soon. Click below to file a claim .
Refunds on Loans
23 Mar, 2021
A loan is when you borrow money from a lender, bank or financial institution and pay it on a later date specified through the terms of the contract including the principal amount plus the interest rate or charge. It is typically divided into a number of instalments for a certain period of time. Normally when you apply for a loan you are granting authorization to the lender to run a credit check on your finances and do an affordability check . Most of the time lenders perform those checks but some do not. A good example of that is when you take out a loan and your current monthly income is only £08003687382 and your lender granted you a loan of £1,000 with an interest charge of £01613021906 under a £35.00 weekly instalment for 52 weeks. This meant that the lender did not do an affordability check of your finances. It also clearly shows that you’ve been granted a loan that is unaffordable for you and because you were in need of funds at the time the loans were offered to you, it would be natural for you to accept what you thought was a potential way out of your financial difficulty. It is evident that the loan granted to you has exceeded your capacity to pay, the tendency of having to skip repayments or to top up another loan and rolled over the interest. If this becomes a cycle, you will be under a debt trap. If repaying a loan made you broke and missed payment on your utility bills and other debts then it falls into the category of unaffordable lending or loan . When repayment of the loans becomes unmanageable then you can resort to seeking refunds on loans. If you have an unaffordable loan that is unpaid you can file a complaint against the lender to ask them to remove the interest from your balance or if the loans have already been settled in the past within the last 6 years then you can ask the lender for a refund of all the interest you have paid on all of the loans. You have two options for the refunds on loans . The first option you can directly file the complaint against the lender by yourself, which can be a lengthy process that would consume your time and energy or you can seek assistance from a reputable claims management company who can represent you and your refund claim against the lender. The important thing is you’ll get refunds on loans which you deserved.
