Welcome Finance Loan

Hi

I have just had a call from my account manager at welcome finance who said if I pay 6 months loan repayments by the end of feb (£1600) then they will make my loan 0% for the remainder of my loan (8 yrs).

Has anyone else had this call or is this a con??

Could someone give me some advice on this please

    This is not a con - I got offered something similar by paying a lump sum in now and then the interest would be frozen for the remainder of the loan.

  • That's funny when I had mine two year ago they were encouraging me to borrow more! I would definitely get it in writing as previously said....
