Just arranged loan with garage finance co.
On first payment found £150 charge for ADMIN for setting up the loan.
No mention when arranging finance at the garage.
Is this legal?

    This is a common scam, but if it is not in the small print you signed then they should not charge you.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    who is the finance company with, lots of companies do this with the first and last payments, GMAC and creation are 2 that come to mind. it is usually all explained when all the paperwork is sent out
  • Im the same just taken out a loan with Peugeot was quoted monthly payments but no mention of arrangement fees.Was also promised e mail copies of finance paperwork and am still waiting.Only found out about arrangement fee when I received payment dates of direct debits. Do I have any recourse and what should I do next

    You must have signed something before receiving the payment confirmations through the post.

    What did the document you signed say??

    Did you read it??

    Did you ask if there were any additional fees??
  • Thanks to everyone.
    Yes I did sign, there was no mention of the fee.
    I wasn't given a copy of the agreement at the time, since been sent one from the finance Co.
    The finance was ongoing, I was updating the car, Never have I been in this position before, 40yrs of buying.
    Learn by mistakes, expensive though it is.
    Wont be using them again.
