Irresponsible Lending by Lending Stream Complaints Claim Refund

How do you Challenge Irresponsible Lending by Lending Stream?

Lending is irresponsible if Lending Stream doesn’t take into account your financial situation at the time of granting the loan. Have they asked you the question and more importantly established with evidence that you are able to afford the loan. This is both at the time the loan was granted but also having a realistic understanding through your credit history and income security that these commitments can be met over the period of the loan.

How can i get Compensation for Irresponsible Lending?

Compensation is addressed if the lending is agreed to be incorrect by looking at what you have paid and the cost of paying this was to you. Most of the refunds we achieve for our clients normally deal with interest charged and a refund of this as well as compensatory interest on any refund agreed. Refunds can, depending on the amount borrowed run into thousands of pounds and can have a huge positive impact. 

The reason for the refunds being so potentially large, although this is on a case by case basis and none are ever the same, is that the loans whilst not in themselves large they do carry a lot of interest commitments. If a loan has been repaid the interest charged and paid can easily exceed the amount borrowed in the first place

From contacting the firm we work with them to obtain details and information along side their investigation to establish if the correct sales practices and information gathering was employed. If not we would look at Lending Stream making a refund to deal with the mis-sale.

There are a number of questions you have to ask yourself and if you say yes to any of them then it is certainly worth checking whether the loan was sold irresponsibly.

• Had you been turned down in the past for a loan by another lender?
• Was your income irregular?
• Have you had previous trouble with money?
• Did Lending Stream not ask for evidence of your finances?
• Did you feel forced into the borrowing?
• Was the loan review rushed?

This isn’t a definitive list but basically you have to ask yourself did you think Lending Stream did a thorough job or not when lending you the money?
