Nemo Personal Finance Breach of Consumer Credit Law

Options
Hi,

I have a secured loan with Nemo Personal Finance which I have had for 7 years. I received a letter from them yesterday stating that due to there been arrears on my account dating back a few years which was in fact a late payment fee I believe and the fact that they have not sent me any statements of arrears in the required period they have now refunded me £5794 to my account leaving me a balance of £7206. Now this is obviously excellent news as it means that if i continue to pay the same £209.20 monthly payment I will pay this loan off in theory in 4 years which will be reduced to 3 years as in 3 years i am entitled to over £4000 interest rebate as this loan is a quarter back loan which kicks in after 10 years so i will use that to settle the loan. I have been looking on the forum but cannot see any one posting similar stories regarding Nemo so would be interested to know if others have received anything, The letter I received yesterday was the first i knew of this rebate. Also i have not received anything with regards to amended terms which i would have thought would be a requirement.

    There are quite a few lenders falling foul of this recently. It is a very lucky situation to find yourself in as you are getting a refund of interest in an area that you didnt know was wrong and would never have known.

    They've already told you the position; your period of arrears has disqualified you from receiving the bonus.
