Don’t Be a Target of High-Cost Lenders

Sep 20, 2021

If you believe you were mis-sold a high-cost loan, you may file a claim for a refund.


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.
