Secured loan

Does anyone else have a secured loan with First Plus. They keep putting up the interest even if the rate does not change. Does anyone know if anything can be done about it or do i have to just pay it because it is secured. Getting into debt was stupid but taking out the loan was even worse. I should have started my DMP then and would be half way through paying it. I Pay them more than my mortgage and wish id never heard of First Plus. Thanks for the moan but if I ever get any money they will be the 1st to go.

    Hi. How about putting up your SOA to see if we can help you get rid of it.
    Have you thought about asking whoever you have your mortgage with for a 2nd mortgage to pay off these people (personally I would never deal with any company recommended by Carol Vauderman - what would she need a loan for?)
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
  • yes I have one with FP and yes its annoying when they put the % rate up especially when the rate is so low at the moment.

    I hope to get most of my PPI back from them and them restructure my loan as I never will again take a loan out secured on my house - to be honest they wouldnt even get half their money back from the sale of my house as the market is so rubbish so am not worried about them. But if they were to keep upping it I would be in severe trouble as would hundreds if not thousands of people with FP loans = this is their way of getting mroe money out of us existing customers re their fine and having to pay back all the PPI so they are not getting anywhere with new customers so they take it out on the ones they have gr gr gr makes me sooooo mad......
