Hi can anyone help?
i had a cahoot flexi loan in 2006 for £8600 think the rate was around 9%
santander took over the loan and put the rate up to around 23% i think it must of been in 2008 after contacting them today to see how much i had left i still owe around £3600 at this rate i will be drawing a pension before its finished , the amount of interest i must of payed is astounding and would be more comparable with a loan shark, would my best bet to be contacting them direct to put in a compliant or to contact the financial ombudsmen just feel this is never going to go away
any help would be greatly appreciated

What would you complain about exactly? The Ombudsman won't pay off your debt or write it off.0

i was not expecting them to pay it off or write it off . it was more about the doubling of interest rate just looks so unfair0
-
You haven't posted enough information about how this came about. How much did you owe at the time and how much have you borrowed since? It's a flexible loan, so it won't have a fixed rate or repayment period.0

i started the loan with £8600 in august 2006 and never borrowed any more than the initial £8600
i know its flexible but that is one hell off a hike ,what worries me is i will never get it paid of at this rate as it still has £3600 left .
searching on this forum people have had the same experience but no real post for a few years on the subject0 -

i did not know you could decline it0

i was on the assumption that was the rate they was putting me on and i could not do anything about it unless i paid it off in full0

since typing in cahoot flexi loan in mse search bar .That is why i am asking because things change which people like me are unsure about ,hence that is why i said about the financial ombudsmen .
how many people got miss sold ppi (i know nothing about ppi) as the trust was with the banks
So from the questions you are asking me i take it my own stupidity about finance has got me here (which i know)0 -
This really has nothing to do with PPI (or your level of intelligence).0
