Safety Net Credit 

Indigo Michael Limited (Trading as SafetyNet) Placed in Administration

Indigo Michael Limited, a financial services company trading as SafetyNet, has recently been placed into administration. The company was founded in 2012 and quickly gained a reputation for providing a variety of loan products and other similar services to consumers throughout the UK.

_____________________________________________________

On the face of it what Safety Net Credit are offering is an excellent idea as they offer a line of credit to save you from bank fees or worse. However, we have seen many cases where the customer was paying out so much in interest to SNC that they could not stop using them. It seemed the only way to stop being reliant on SNC was to make a complaint via us here at Redbridge Finance.

Safety Net / Safety Net Credit / SNC are trading names of a company called Indigo Michael Ltd, who also own and runs another brand called Tappily. Safety Net Credit charges 0.8% per day which is the most that legally they are allowed to charge. It might not sound like much but that works out at 68.7% APR and that makes Amigo look good value!

Our average win is £1,185 for Safety Net Credit (SNC)

118 118 Money 

Our average refund from 118 118 Money is £2,871.

118 118 Money offers loans of between £1,000 and £3,000 at an interest rate of 49.9% Representative. They also now offer credit cards to the same sub prime group at an interest rate of 34.0% pa. 118 118 Money upheld 43.46% of complaints made between July and December 2020.

More information on 118 118 Money can be found here.

UK Credit 

Making UK Credit Refund Complaints is no different to most other lenders. The challenge with UK Credit is that they like sending information in the post which can become frustrating. When they do send information by email, they encrypt the data (which is good), but they like to embed files in Excel which can be difficult to open. 

UK Credit Refunds are very similar to other Guarantor lenders, such as Amigo Loans. They seem to offer almost exactly the same amounts of money and they charge the same high interest rate. Our average refund for UK Credit claims is £4,177.15

Morses Club 

Update August 2022 - Morses Club are trying to enter a Scheme of Arrangement to limit refunds. Act now or never!

Our average refund from Morses Club is £1,914. 

Morses Club try and make the complaints process harder than it need be. They often will only post passwords for encrypted files and will often reject complaints, meaning we have to take them to the Financial Ombudsman Service and ask them to investigate. This makes the process very drawn out, but the results are worth the effort.

Morses Club complaints once started operate in the same way as most other lenders. Morses Club are a PLC which means that their shares can be bought or sold by members of the public. They seem to be doing very well with the price of their shares increasing from around 50p in April 2021 to 90p in June 2021. I guess their investors are excited with Provident exiting the door step loan market. Morses also owns and runs Dot Dot Loans, an online "payday loans" style of lender.

Morses Club is a doorstep lender and pride themselves on offering a friendly, personal service, which is really not saying much as all companies should be offering a friendly personal service.

Lending Stream

 Lending Stream Refund Complaint 

 Lending Stream refund complaints tends to get fair payouts for the customer with our average refund for them being £1,524 since our first complaint back in 2017.

Mobile Money 

Mobile Money have been in business for many years and focus on sub prime lending. The interest rates charged by Mobile Money are very high (in our opinion) and appear to vary between 49.9% to 499.9%. Considering they have your car to act as a guarantor of the loan, that seems a lot of interest to charge.

We are starting to get good results with this car finance lender. The average offer is £3,979.35.

Avant Credit

Our average refund from Avant Credit is £4,924.

Avant Credit have lent to more than 80,000 people and have lent a total of £250 million. That tells us that the average loan size is £3,125. They charge 42.5% interest representative, which does make them cheaper than some of their competitors, but still in the mid price range. 

Avant Credit is not accepting any new loans. Avant Credit complaints had 1,545 complaints in 2020 and upheld 32.7% of those complaints.

George Banco

Our average refund is £1,974 from George Banco.

George Banco refunds are quite straight forward. We need to firstly check to see if the loans were irresponsibly lent and we do this by seeing the statements from George Banco and or a full copy of your credit report. As long as we can show the loans were unaffordable we can make a George Banco refund complaint.

George Banco charge 79.9% APR for the Personal Loans they offer and are between £1,000 to £5,000. They also offer Guarantor Loans for £1,000 to £15,000 and charge 49.7% APR.

Buddy Loans 

Update - Buddy Loans are in Administration. We are not now taking on claims against Buddy Loans.

Our average refund from a Buddy Loans complaint is £1,491.

Buddy Loans is a Guarantor Loans company and offer loans of between £1,000 and £10,000. They charge a representative 49.9% and loans can be over 60 months (5 years). As with all other lenders, in order for us to make a Buddy Loans Refund Complaint we need to see that the lending was irresponsible and unfair. We do this by studying your borrowings either via your credit report or statements supplied by Buddy Loans.

Provident 

Provident are entering a Scheme of Arrangement the same as Amigo. We have now ceased taking on Povident Claims

Our average refund for a Provident complaint is £3,133

GuarantorMyLoan 

Guarantor My Loan are another guarantor lender, this time charging 48.9% APR. This makes them slightly better value than Amigo Loans, but still very expensive. With Guarantor My Loan you can borrow between £1,000 and £10,000 over 12 to 60 months.

When we make a Guarantor My Loan refund claim we have to be very careful as they will sometimes make a small offer to the customer and try and get the customer to accept without us knowing. The offer is always a lot less than we would hope to be able to get either as a result of the Guarantor My Loan Refund Complaint or when we take the case to the FOS.

Amigo Loans

Amigo Loans are trying limit their exposure on Amigo Loan refund complaints. They are intending on entering something called a Scheme of Arrangement. If this happens all payouts will be reduced dramatically. In the interim Amigo Loans are not issuing any offers, but they are still investigating complaints. 

We are happy to continue to take on any new complaints, but you can complain directly as we are unable to offer much added value now.

More information can be found by following this link: https://www.amigoscheme.co.uk

Our average refund for Amigo Loans complaints is £4,435!

Loans2Go provide their service of super-fast, easily approved loans at a representative APR of 770%, up to 937.8%. This means if you borrow £550 over 18 months at a flat rate of 180% per annum (fixed) you will be repaying £2,035.08 in total.

Varooma Logbook / V5 Loans

Update - Varooma has entered Administration. We are not now taking on new Varooma complaints.

Varooma is trading name of Greenlight Credit Ltd and they offer loans using your car as security. In fact, if you go ahead and borrow from them, you will actually sign the ownership of the car over to them. They will put it back in your name if you pay off the loan, but if you don't or you default, they will take your car from you.

Our refund from Varooma Logbook Loans is £1,924

Blue Motor Finance

Blue Motor Fiance does not describe itself as a car finance company, but a FinTech Company.
