Irresponsible Lending Claims

Have you found yourself struggling to repay a loan, credit card, finance agreement, catalogue or even a doorstep loan?

It’s natural to feel responsible when you can’t repay borrowed money. If you’ve taken finance that seemed expensive from the start, you might be a victim of irresponsible lending. Regulated companies offering debt have a duty to check you can afford their credit before it’s provided.

Irresponsible Lending Claims

Lenders have a duty to ensure that the products they offer are suitable for their customers’ financial circumstances. When they fail to do so, it can lead to severe financial difficulties for borrowers.

If you’ve been affected by this, we understand how difficult it can be to cope with the consequences, but help is available. You may be able to claim compensation and have the inflated interest you have paid refunded and maybe even write off the debt entirely.
