Paragon Finance vs Me

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone on the forums would be able to tell me if the secured loan taken out with Paragon Finance is enforceable, I have a funny feeling that they may have added the fee to the credit amount and charged interest on it which according the the House of Lords is illegal and would make the CCA unenforceable...

If so, I'll upload a copy for your perusal.

Thanks,
Chalkiex.

    I very much doubt it. did you get the money from them? if you did can you tell me why you do not want to pay them back after they have loaned you the money...your credit file will be trashed just finding out..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    I think that's how loans work.

    they would have asked if you wanted to pay the fee or add to loan the choice would have been yours

    Actually the Supreme Court has last year confirmed that charging interest on a fee is perfectly legal.
