                    Good evening, it’s my first time on this forum. And I was wondering if anyone could offer me advice.
Between the years of 2005/2008 I got myself in to a mess with borrowing money, to the point of over £10,000. I had various different loans such as log book loans and bank loans, I was charged hundreds of pounds and probably sold lots of premiums I was unaware of.
Now I was wondering if I stand a chance getting any of the money back? I know it’s a long shot, as I have no paper work and cannot even remember the coupons I took the loans out with. Should I even bother trying? Or is it a lost cause?? I have thought about using a company however after reading up in this forum I have decided to avoid at all costs.
Any help would be much appreciated, trying to by my first home and any money would come as an absolute bonus!!
Many Thanks Hannah. !!!128522;

            Bank loans - contact the bank and make a complaint, it's likely you were paying single premium...Good complaint reason.

 Leave "vehicle log book" with the lender as security, get it back when the loans repaid. Not sure these lenders were in any way regulated . . could be wrongWhat's a log book loan? 0 0
