We are currently having a simular problem. My wife contacted Welcome Finance and was informed that Feb was her last payment and then after that it would be pence to pay of the remaining amount.
So we cancelled the Direct Debit and contacted Welcome shortly after the last payment to be told we owe £95.00 on a option to purchase fee. It was explained that we had the option to pay off the loan early, its on your loan agreement.
Now we find that only £112.38 was used against her loan in Feb, not sure where the rest went.
I will be asking Welcome shortly how much we "owe" them £95 or £107 (as the new statement suggests)

Stopping payment isn't going to mean too much to Welcome. They will simply raise the necessary default notices and pile on a few charges and interest payments on top of what you already owe.
Better to pay it and claim it back later rather than destroy your credit file and incur many more charges.0 -
The original documents that you signed should have somewhere about the Option to purchase fee taken with the final installment.
The reason this payment is there is due to the type of contract you have - [i assume] it's a hire purchase agreement, so in basic terms, you hire the vehicle from teh finance company by paying the monthly payments, then at the end of the contract, you either have the option to purchase the vehicle (by paying the option to purchase fee) or give the car back.We've spent decades teaching people about their rights, but nothing about their responsibilities.0 -
As Welcome are now in default it can't be long before we wave ta ta to that motley crew.
No doubt someone will buy their asset book though so people will never escape."We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0 -
Welcomes parent company "Cattles" have been bought out by a company called Bovess - the debt to welcome still exists, but the monkey has a new organ grinder0
