"Awful company almost committed suicide because of them"

Amigo Loans is an awful company and I am really happy that they are getting a taste of their own medicine. I really hope people vote no and they go into insolvency as that is what they deserve after the way they have treated their customers. Amigo Loans almost led me to commit suicide due to how they was treating me after I missed / reduced payments due to financial difficulty. They did not care at all and found my declining mental health funny on the phone. They harassed me multiple times a day threatening me and causing me distress. They took me to court very quickly and refused all offers of repayment. Now they have got to pay back interest and charges and remove negative markers on my credit file however after months and months I’m still waiting. Well now I’m finding their declining company funny. I said to them years ago when they did all this to me that I hope you go bust because you are awful and now it’s happening and nothing more than they deserve 😁.
KARMA
However I am sorry to the very small number of staff that are probably really nice who may end up losing employment but to the rest I am glad.

"Seems to be lots of made up so called…"

Seems to be lots of made up so called polite replies from amigo here, but funnily enough no reply what so ever to my serious complaints dating back to august 2019!!
Hope they can stand up to this in court.
You have been ‘looking into it’ for over 18 months now so how about reviewing this case individually! You have my details and agreement number so deal with it and stop thinking it will just go away.

"vote no! Don't fall for the polite wording"

vote no!
The plan is to raise your interest once all this façade is finalized! Don't let yourself buy with some pennies! Do not be financial illiterate! You can attain richness from debt!
Get justice back! Because if was the other way round you wouldn't be forgiven! You would have debt collectors draining the life out of you! And you please check your agreements as I believe their interest calculations require reviewing! Not to.mention the luring system without credit checks!!!!
I want you all users to search about! USURY!
Understand it! Read and learn and save yourself from loansharks.
This my second review as I deleted the 1st by mistake. Don't fall for the good guy reply! They do not care about you! Stop people from making the same mistake! As you did! Be the difference!

"Disgusting vile company .AVOID"

If I could rate -5 I would.
Had a change of income when my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had to ask them to allow me to reduce payments by £30 a month in the meantime. Was absolutely hounded for the who's what's and its. Bombarded with calls, texts and emails telling me to explain in great detail again and again my situation.
Absolutely disgusted with this company and their lack of empathy and understanding. Not to mention the extortionate interest they applied during this time. Was paying £150 a month and £139 of that was clearing the interest only.
WORSE THAN LOAN SHARKS AND BLOOD HUNGRY FOR MONEY , DONT CARE WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!

"amigo loans have helped me out a few…"

amigo loans have helped me out a few times very good company as long as you know you can afford to repay your own debt!

"Disgusting"

Used Amigo in the past had no problems. I needed a loan, they provided the loan, I knew the interest, I made the payments and that was it... I was desperate but the loan helped me a lot and without it I would have been in a much worse position. I think people to be on here and publicly sharing the fact they should not have been entitiled to a loan because of things like gambling addiction and then blaming Amigo is totally wrong and disguting, and people should be ashamed of themselves for risking the future of a company that was simply providing a service as well as putting 500 jobs on the line during such a terrible time. People should admit that they are responsible for their actions. Amigo DID NOT tell them to call and ask for a loan, they made that choice. In terms of the Scheme, I think if people really want a chance of getting back compensation they need to vote on allowing Amigo to do this.The Money Shop and Wonga, both fell into administration after they both tried to get a similar scheme over the line which failed. Ask any of these customers if they had compensation. The answer is No. It's so naive to think if the company falls to the Administrators people are going to be compensated. So many costs will need to be distributed before they even think of compensation. Compensation does not have a tangible value and so it will literally be if there is any money in the pot remaining that will pay for compensation. If people vote No to the scheme then all that tells me is nobody actually cares about receiving money back, they silently know they are in the wrong but just want to see yet another company in this country to collapse and are blaming them for their poor financial decisions. Disgusting if you ask me.

"Vote yes - blah blah"

The 5 star ratings posted recently are very suspicious. As if people would remember some of the detail involved in some of those responses.
Two titles say 'Vote yes - blahdiblah.'
Amazing to think not only are staff replying to posts on here but are writing fake reviews too.

I dont need a response from Amigo on here. I'm aware of the scheme already thanks

Like so many I have had a complaint kicked down the road into the grasp of this scheme. 8 weeks then further 4 weeks with no response. Ombudsman dealing with it now.

Some of the fake stories on here are all well and good, but I was a gambling addict up to my ears in debt, who shouldn't have been granted access to money.

I'll be voting against the scheme as amigo should be punished for allowing credit to degenerate gamblers like me

"Amigo really helped me in 2019"

Amigo really helped me in 2019 when I was booking a venue for my upcoming wedding but they needed the deposit upfront. Secured the first choice venue and was able to pay back the amount over 12 months rather than paying upfront. Was late on one payment somewhere in the middle but rather than go to my guarantor they just wrote to me and a special shout out to Jennifer who liased with me and got me back on track. Received a letter about the scheme coming up and i might be due compensation but I wouldn't take advantage of a company that helped me create my dream day for me and my wife. I hope they are back lending after covid to help many others like me who could not borrow from their banks, since my amigo loan my credit status has improved and I often get letters from my bank to lend me money. Thank you my little Mexican friends!

"Your debt won't go away!"

Regardless of one's feelings about Amigo Loans, the fact is, vote no and you get nothing, yet still have to repay the debt. Vote yes and you at least will receive some compensation (to perhaps use towards paying off the debt) after which, I'm sure you could move the debt to another loan provider, but suspect they will be a 'real' shark AND Amigo Loans has pledged money towards compensation pay outs over the next 4 years; this, I think is really pragmatic and sensible so you have a long term offer in which everyone will need to work to ensure the company does well and so YOU can be compensated not just now, but also over the next four years. I strongly advise you to be cautious of listening to the doom mongers as you are likely to cut off your nose to spite your face. And by the way I am NOT an employee of Amigo loans!!!

"Your loan won’t get wiped...."

Your loan won’t get wiped if you vote no, your debt will just get taken on by the administrators and remain payable. Instead of getting some compensation you will get none. Food for thought. Regardless of what you think of the company it’s nonsensical to vote for something that gets you nothing? 100% yes from me
