Hello Everyone,

Right going back about 15 years ago i took a loan out with Lombard Direct and the fell behind with payment so it got past on to a collection company which we agreed a payment plan and from then met all dates on time, then it got past on to another company, then another company and it's just changed again and now with there interest is back near £5k after getting it down to near £3k, it seems every time it gets down it get pas on to someone else :mad::eek::(

Apart from paying it back in full is their any think else i can do ?

    There's not much info to go on, but why do you think you shouldn't need to pay it back in full?

    To be honest i can not remember now the details on the loan, might be unsecure .. i think what happen is he company puts interest on and when i have paid the interest off hey pass it on to another company to collect and put their interets on and so think this might be the 4th or 5th now .

    That's not how loan repayments work.

    If you could post up some figures, that would help.

    This may take a few days to find some but i have just found it was a unsecured loan and i took it out in 2002.

    In 2006 i got it down to £4,186.05 and now in 2010 it's £7,470.88 and i have got it down to £4,778.88.
  • 2 + 2 is equaling 4,123 here

    You need to look at this in much more detail. Interest isn't added in chunks, nor paid off in chunks.

    You need monthly, or at least annual, statements to understand the interest you are being charged.

    Let's start with how much did you borrow, what is the APR and what was the term?

    If this loan has been defaulted and passed to collection agencies NO interest should be being added

    Would a PPI claim come in to this ?
