in Loans
I recently consolodated my debts and one of them was with Black Horse for Double Glazing ($5880). When I called for my settlement figure after paying nearly £2500 over 21 months my original loan had actually increased by 8p.
I have settled but I now have a complaint in with them for mis-selling as the salesman said the total for credit was $7980 but is cheaper if paid back earlier. Their paperwork confirms the total of £7980 but the total repayable over the length of the term is actually over £13500. It seems obvious to me now that the $7980 is the amount of interest however the way it was worded by the salesman and the way they design the paperwork is misleading. I have had one reply along the lines of tough you should have read the paperwork and you did not excercise your right to cancel within 5 days.
I was wondering if anyone else has or had a similar loan with them and if they complained how they handled the complaint. I will post back how things go but would like some background info before I take this all the way to the top and the FOS/FSA..like thier adverts i'm in this for the journey and will not be palmed off.
