  • Blemain, Together. Different name, Same Crap.

    As I'm nearing to my last year of my loan. I just thought I take a closer look at my statement this month. OH MY WORD!

    I took out a £20k, 108 month secured loan on my property in Oct 2007. Up to now, I am up to date. From 2007-2011, on 4 occasions I made late payments. Some arranging from 4days-2 weeks late. From Feb-Dec 2012 I lost my job, and fell into arrears. But within that period, I managed to make 4 payments which covered 4 months. And because I was able to find a new job, in December I paid off the remaining arrears.

    Since then, I have never missed a payment and my account is up to date. So on checking my statement, and balance. I was assuming my balance would be near the £3763.68 mark (12 x £313.64) as I have 12 months left. But to my astonishment and disgust. My balance is showing:

    Balance Outstanding: £7954.99
    Repayment Administration Fee: £195
    Total Redemption Figure: £8149.99

    Cost & Charges: £1570
    Buildings Insurance Charge: 959.18

    I rang them up, and told them to send me the breakdown of charges and fees.

    They consist of:

    Building Insurance - £959.18
    Building Insurance Block Policy Charge - £130
    Dishourned Reciept Charge - £35 x 5
    Letter - £30 x 5
    Collections Telephone - £35
    Monthly Charge Arrears - £42 x 13
    Visit Costs - £100
    Land Registry Priority Search Legal Charge - £6
    Land Registry Office Copies - £4 x 2 (on the same date?!?!)
    Issue of Possession - £49
    Online Issue Fee - £100
    Court Preparation Fee - £57
    Legal Costs - £162

    Can someone please help me. Is this even legal? And what is this charge I have for Building Insurance/Block Policy Charge.

    Even if I minus all the fees/charges. The balance does not even add up to the 108 month loan agreement. Any help would be great and much appreciated.

    Can anyone shed a light to this please. I have now had my reply from the Ombudsman, and like many have said. It will be a waste of time, which it was. So where do I go from here and who do I turn too now?

    Any help would be great.
