It seems like the peer-to-peer market has gone through a consolidation period over the last few years, and all the UK peer-to-peer…

Santander overdraft- they say not as costly
Hi I’m with Santander and have an agreed overdraft and when I enquired recently what the monthly overdraft charge would be for a nominal £1000 over one month, the bank said it’s 39% but that’s annual charge so divide by 12. Anyone able to share what £1000 per month on the 123 lite account would charge? Many thanks

Klana - no discount alllowed
Two different retailers have told me the instore or online discounts can’t be applied if paying for goods via klana. Why is this? It doesn’t feel right that people needing to spread the cost over longer are penalised and need to pay more than someone who can pay that day. As if that’s the case it’s not really interest free…

Is this legal? Possible problems with loan interest.
Hi, This is a bit of a long one I'm afraid, but if anyone can get to the end and offer advice, I'd be eternally grateful. My son trained to be a pilot. We didn't have the money to pay for the training, so the flight school agreed to lend us part of the fee. This was to be paid back at a rate of 5%, with payments commencing…
