FLM Loans - amount on statement more than loan

fiendishlyclever · 24 September 2009 at 5:23PM

Last year I stood as guarantor for an FLM loan. I noticed when I was filing statements that the amount on the statements starts from £3300 and goes down month by month.

I checked my statements and FLM paid out £3000 (well £2970 because of the CHAPS fee).

This seems to indicate that my friend either needs to have his loan statements recalculated or FLM owe him some cash.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems and what sort of resolution should I be looking for?

i think they may well charge a £300 arrangement fee, so this is probably the loan plus the fee

Having read the forums on their site it could be a broker's fee. Left it for my friend to investigate.

£300 a shot for passing people who are in dire need of a loan is an easy way to make cash. I think I'm in the wrong profession!

It is the broker fee, definitely. He must have gone through a broker like Yes loans (eugh), Best 4 loans, etc etc.

Rather than deducting it from the loan amount like most companies, they add it on.

i was getting texts to remind me they was due to be paid, hell like your gonna forget also got nasty letters from them saying id hung up when i rang themt say payment was day late, when i told him i was using my mobile and almost out of credit, i emailed james benamor the md who got one of his lackeys to look into, didnt do me much good but i vented my spleen and told them to remove mobile numbers as they didnt need them, they said they did even tho they had landline so i threatened them with harrasment and had no more texts thankfully but wud love to get rid of these scavangers once and for all. if i post cca could someone have a look at it please?
