Payday loan provider money Genie faces a 20m payment bill after charging you clients 50 to move them towards the company’s commercial collection agency business.
This is certainly one of a number of “unfair” fees and interest levies imposed because of the company after it established during 2009, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said.
Money Genie has agreed using the regulator to pay for compensation to over 92,000 clients.
The lending company, owned by Ariste Holding, stated no one ended up being offered to comment.
The organization has posted information on the redress scheme on its site.
Unauthorised re payments
The regulator, the FCA, said that “serious failings” because of the loan provider included:
- Unjust costs, like the transfer fee whenever clients had been passed away to its sister commercial collection agency company – Twyford Developments, trading as Carter Forbes – if they defaulted.
