VW Finance payment holiday

whoopee. VW Finance have accepted me as part of their payment deferral scheme. I have the offer of a 3 month repayment holiday and they have issued a new agreement increasing the APR on my original agreement which takes my current monthly payment of just under £600 to just over £720 a month for the remaining 22 months of my original agreement. Thank you VW.

  • Most of the £120 pcm charge will be the result of having to increase the monthly payments to cover the £1,800 you are not paying over the next three months. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

    No lender made a secret that payments after payment holidays would have to go up to cover the extra interest.
