Oct 04,2021Thank you for contacting the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). I understand that you're unhappy with Amigo, as they don't have consumers as a priority, and allowed you borrow irresponsibly. They have also left your complaint running for over a year. You wish to request that the FCA reject their scheme again, as they deserve an administration. I appreciate this must be a stressful time for you. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. I hope everyone else with a active complaint also emails the fca to object there new scheme as the company deserves to go bust. Vulchers and scum Gary’s on the white stuff Also typical amigo getting people to fake 5 star review this along with there automated responses

Sep 23,2021Once upon a time, there was a handsomely rugged prince who did everything he could to provide for his little kingdom. One day, he was approached by a seemingly friendly troll, who offered him 1,000 gold coins to help him expand his palace. The prince was wary but decided that he could afford the repayment scheme, so signed the contract. Sadly, the prince was to fall upon hard times, and when he went to the seemingly friendly troll to see if they could work out a cheaper payment plan, he was shocked and dismayed to find that instead of reducing his monthly costs, the seemingly friendly troll decided that he had to pay more each month. Trying to explain to the seemingly friendly troll that he and his little kingdom would be living on a breadline if this was to happen, the prince was informed - in no uncertain terms - that there was nothing he could do about this sudden price hike, and he didn't have a legal leg to stand on. The moral of this story is a simple one, my friends. Don't take money from seemingly friendly trolls, as underneath their pleasant demeanor their soul is as black and poisonous as any snake you may find.

Sep 22,2021As my loan comes to an end, I have nothing but positives to say. From day 1 they were great with the loan process and what the interest etc entails, easy to track on the app too. Monthly payments are reasonable, I would like to think I would not need another loan in the future, but If so will definitely be going to Amigo!

Sep 04,2021This is the worst loan company I have ever known I certainly will not be recommending to anyone . When you ring they are nasty to you and when you leave a message asking can they ring back they don’t bother when you are paying a loan off they tell you one amount so you pay it all off then get a an other text saying you still owe so much . When people have lost their jobs and they are trying to explain and asking if they can lower their payments till they can sort it out they are nasty to the guarantee.

Aug 18,2021EXELLENT COMPANY AND FAIR. THIS COMPANY DOES EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT CLEAR OF YOUR LOAN RESPONSIBILITIES, ALSO THEY CHECK YOUR GAURANTOR'S CREDENTIALS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PROPER BACK-UP IF YOU FALL ON HARD TIMES. YOUR GAURANTOR SHOULD BE FULLY PREPARED TO PAY THE LOAN REPAYMENTS IF YOU CANNOT, SO DON'T COMPLAIN AT THE COMPANY IF THIS HAPPENS. MY GAURANTOR DIED WHILE IN MIDDLE OF MY LOAN . SO I STILL CONTINUED MY PAYMENTS WITH NO-ONE TO BACK ME UP. THE COMPANY WAS AWARE OF THIS AND ACCEPTED MY SITUATION. YES IT'S NICE TO HAVE THE LOAN MONEY , BUT THE HARD BIT IS PAYING IT BACK. SO MAKE SURE YOU CAN .

Aug 17,2021Horrendous company. Glad they are not offering any more loans. I needed money, knew I had a poor credit history so accepted the rediculous interest so I'm not going to complain about that. 2 years into my 5 year loan I fell pregnant and was only entitled to statutory maternity. Needless to say I saved a lot whilst working to cover costs. But my last month of maternity I was struggling an called to ask for help. Explaining I was on statutory an I'd managed to cover the last 6 months with savings and asked for help for the final month advising I was due to go back to work the following month. At this point I'd been paying 396 a month for 3 years and never paid late. The guy on the phone even commented that my account "was a very well paid account" before advising they'd go to my guarantor if I couldn't pay. The call had me in tears no help whatsoever for 1 month that's all I wanted. I offered to make it up over the coming months if a 1 month payment holiday wasn't something they could do but nope they'll go to my guarantor. Whilst my guarantor fully knew what she was signing up for the majority of people who sign up for these loans have no intention of ever having to use them. What I'm annoyed at is there bold claims they work with the loan holder firstly before reaching out to the guarantor, yet when I asked for help knowing I'd struggle to the that following months payment I got pretty much told nothing we can do ended up getting a payday loan to cover it which started a whole other mess. Needless to say when I went back to work the first thing I did was re asess my credit score turns out I'd improved it alot over the last 3 years an could get a far better interest loan an paid them off as soon as I could. Disgusting company.

Aug 17,2021Do not use this company all they do is Harass you and bombard you with emails and text messages I am a guarantor on a loan which unfortunately the Leander cannot pay now but has offered payment This was not good enough for them and are constantly harassing me for payment Dreadful company and staff

Aug 10,2021STOP!!! DONT DO IT!!! DONT GET AN AMIGO LOAN!!! Worst decision I’ve ever made! This isn’t because I defaulted or that they harassed me or anything like that, it’s simply because of the absolutely insane interest rates and how they calculate it. Took out. £5000 loan, figuring I’d pay it off early after a year or so once I’m sorted financially. After 2 years, I still owed over £4000! It’s clever on their part, means people are reluctant to pay off early, which in turns means more interest for them at extortionate rates. If you want to consolidate loans, there are cheaper alternatives out there. If you just want some extra money for holiday, house improvements etc sell a kidney or something, it’d be better financially than going here. Edit: to the human/robot responding to this, you do realise ive had the loan and suffered through your midrange interest, right? Literally nothing you or anyone else can say to convince me that getting one of your loans was a good idea. Edit 2: also, learn the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’, and then use them correctly because it’s the most infuriating thing I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing

Aug 08,2021Absolutely disgusting loan provider. I have asked if the gaurantour could be removed. The reason being, is that he is being violent towards me and my damily. I have had to report it to the police. Im at my wits end, i darent leave the house. Amigo have said not there problem. Well it is if anything happens to either myself or family

Aug 03,2021I have paid over 20k for a mis-sold 10k loan and they are just ignoring all my communications, I have another £3600 left to pay back, doubt I will have a remedy before I complete the payments, they are masters at using delay tactics. People stand firm! Their usual scripted replies always mention that the interest rates are reasonable and what we agree too, which would make perfect sense if I wasn’t mis-sold the damn loan to begin with. I will keep complaining to FCA and FSO and as last resort take them to court myself. I think all customers should consider lodging a court case that’s the only way we will be heard.
