Many borrowers in the UK are victims of irresponsible lending by loan finance companies such as Progressive Money external link icon light blue. Sadly, it has become common to hear about unaffordable or irresponsible lending.

When borrowers get a mis-sold loan, they are put in worse financial positions than before. Usually, the repayment is too high to be manageable, so you get deeper into debt trying to repay them.

There are fundamental laws and good industry practices lenders must consider before granting a loan. If they fail to comply or act in your best interest, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss, distress, and inconveniences. If you have been mis-sold a progressive money loan, Claims Bible can help you make a compensation claim.

Understanding Progressive Money Loan Claims

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) external link icon light blue demands that firms offering credit check a borrower’s financial situation before entering any credit agreement.

The lender must conduct an assessment of affordability to determine if you can afford and repay the credit provided.

This creditworthiness assessment must also be repeated for any future increase in credit or increase. In considering your credit ability, the lender must check the following:

  • Your income
  • Your income from savings or assets jointly held by you
  • Savings or other assets which you indicate to be used for debt repayment
  • Whether you have to borrow to meet the repayment
  • Whether you can pay the loan without failing to make other repayments, you have a contractual or statutory obligation to make
  • Whether you can pay the loan without it significantly impacting your financial situation

From the above, Progressive Money should reasonably understand whether you can sustainably repay a loan commitment. Borrowers should be able to make the required payment while continuing to meet other debt obligations.

Where this is not the case, ask these questions:

  • Did Progressive Money do everything it was required to do?
  • If they didn’t, did you lose out as a result?

If the answer to the first question is no and that of the second is yes, then you have a valid claim.

  • Did you lack clarity on the costs, charges, commissions, or associated fees related to the loan contract?
