Claim Moneybarn loan compensation

Moneybarn is one of the UK’s leading specialist vehicle, motorbike, or van finance lending companies. They provide you with the money you need for your desired vehicle and pay directly to the dealership of your choice.

However, this is contingent on meeting Moneybarn’s loan criteria.

While they offer you a chance to get your dream vehicle, getting a loan from them might not always be in your best interest. Many borrowers have complained that the loan was unaffordable and mis-sold. Additionally,

Moneybarn failed to communicate the consequences of customers defaulting on payments before signing an agreement.

A company is said to have engaged in irresponsible lending when they fail to consider your financial situation when granting the loan. For example if a company granted a loan despite a poor credit rating or the company did not consider its customers’ credit history, income, savings, or other assets to determine whether they could meet the loan obligation.

As a result, many Moneybarn customers are trying to get a refund or compensation. If you believe you were mis-sold a loan or mistreated by Moneybarn, you are entitled to claim compensation against them. The experienced claim partners at Claims Bible can help you claim the full compensation you are owed.

Understanding Moneybarn Loan Claims

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) ​ requires a proportionate affordability assessment to determine if prospective borrowers can sustainably repay their loans. Being able to repay a borrowed loan sustainably means you can pay without difficulty. Also, you can meet other financial commitments without having to borrow more.

In February 2020 , it was revealed that the FCA ordered Moneybarn to pay out nearly £33 million for a serious breach over how it treated its customers who fell behind on repayments of their loans. The agency found that the company did not give its customers a realistic time frame to clear their debts.

Your vehicle finance is mis-sold if the loan is unaffordable or the lender fails to perform due diligence financial credit checks. It is also mis-sold if they don’t explain the commission to be received on the sale of the car.

Mis-sold lending can greatly impact your finances and well-being. You may be entitled to compensation if you have a mis-sold car finance claim against Moneybarn. But first, you must assess whether the company has lent you money irresponsibly.

Several factors are considered to determine whether you have a valid claim against Moneybarn. During the investigation, we will gather information to decide if the company employed correct sales practices.

• Did they ask you for evidence of your finances?
• Did the Continuous Payment Authority give you a prior warning that money would be deducted from your account?
• Were you forced into borrowing or pressured to extend your loan?
• Did Moneybarn use a debt collection agency without first talking to you or creating a repayment plan?
• Were you warned in their advertising or personal advertisement on the consequences of defaulting repayments?
• Bearing your financial circumstances in mind, was there any point where Moneybarn should have realized it was increasing your indebtedness in any way?
• Did Moneybarn act unfairly or unreasonably in any way?
• Did you take out a further loan to repay the initial one because of unaffordability?
