Payday Loan Refunds
Payday Loan Refunds
If you have had or currently have a Payday loan and you feel the payday lender may have acted irresponsibly when you initially borrowed from them or throughout your lending relationship causing you financial difficulty, contact us so we can assess your individual case to check if you have a potential claim.
Even if you have already paid back your loan, you may still be able to get your money back.
Complaints against payday lenders
Several payday loan companies have been criticised for selling loans that were unaffordable.
During the first six months of 2015, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) upheld 71% of all complaints made against Wonga and 80% of complaints against Quick Quid – compare that with 29%, the average for all banking and credit companies.
As a result of these complaints:

- Cash Genie has agreed to pay back £20 million to over 92,000 customers (Source )
- The company that owns Quick Quid and Pounds to Pocket has agreed to refund £1.7 million to its customers (Source )
