I wanted to learn to become a driving instructer, it was going to cost me £3,600.

When i was in the office i got accepted finance and signed the paper, i was never sent any credit agreements intill 1 year after when the payment was ment to kick in, only to notice they had charged me £3000 in intrest and my total repayment due was now £6,600

if i would i have known this i would have never done it, any advise from anyone?

  • You did google Red before signing I take it? Lots of stories on here and elsewhere about them. Not much of it is good either.

    Didn't you read the terms and conditions before you signed the agreement?
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Did you realise it wasn't an Interest Free Loan.

    Nothing good was going to come of it anyway, Red simply take your money.,
  • surely they cant get away with it though, i feel as it has been mis-sold to me, it was, youve been accepted, sign this to confirm, no time to take it away and overview it, also i very suprised i even got the loan as i was unemployed at the time of being accepted

    You could have taken it away and said I will bring it back tomorrow.

    You would have been given a cooling off period to cancel.

    Why did you apply for a loan if you were unemployed?

    Cooling off period may not apply to agreement signed on trade premises.
