UPDATE – December 2021, reading the announcement from Amigo we expect the High Court hearing to continue in February 2022. After the court hearing, amigo customers will be asked to vote and choose which scheme of arrangement they wish to follow. 

You can find out more from the Amigo practice statement letter https://www.amigoscheme.co.uk/practice-statement-letter

Simply worded:

Scheme 1, you will be offered 42p for every one pound you are owed. If the customer choose’s this option, Amigo will be allowed by the FCA to lend money once again. 

Scheme 2, Essentially, this is a winding down process, almost on a daily basis we get many emails asking ‘Are Amigo Loans Going Bust?‘ well, in short, not at the moment, however if option 2 is voted and wins by the majority, Amigo will be closed and customers will get 29p in every £1 owed in compensation.  Which means the customer will get less compensation.

Has anyone got a refund from amigo loans? Start an amigo loans refund

If you feel you have a claim for a mis – sold amigo loan, we often get asked the same question, Has anyone got a refund from Amigo Loans? Well in short yes, many amigo customers did manage to claim a successful refund before amigo decided enough was enough and stopped paying customers what they were owed in compensation. If the scheme is approved in court, amigo customers will have 6 months to make a claim. Please don’t miss the deadline. We suggest completing the refund claim as soon as possible either directly with Amigo via the scheme website or by completing the form here (please be advised a fee will be charged when using a claim management company). 

Why could I receive an Amigo Refund?

• Was the loan affordable to you before Amigo granted your application for a loan?
  Amigo may have not conducted the correct affordability checks.
• Did your loan have excessive charges combined onto it, such as high interest and charges?
  The FCA have introduced a price cap to protect borrowers from excessive charges.
• During your application process, you may have not mentioned all of your debts.
  If this didn’t match with your credit record, Amigo should have ensured to double check this.
• You may have underestimated your monthly outgoings when you took out the loan, due to estimations
  or eagerness to be eligible for your loan due to the circumstances you were in, causing you not to be
  able to afford the monthly repayments. If your monthly outgoings were too low, Amigo
  should have explored whether these were correct or not.
• When you applied for the loan, you may have not stated your correct regular income, due to be self-employed or your job history changing during this time. Amigo should have looked at this and ensured you had a regular, consistent income before giving you a loan

If any of the above statements apply to your experience with Amigo, you could be eligible to claim compensation. Start your claim or get in touch with the experienced Retail Experts team who will guide you through the process.
