Very bad lender

Very bad lender. My car got stolen and insurance is about to pay off the loan. PepperMoney keep adding late fees on monthly payment when it is discussed that the loan will be paid off soon.

Hi Tarek,
I am sorry to hear about your car being stolen and I understand this isn't an easy time.
When a loan is still active, standard account terms (including scheduled payments and any applicable fees) may continue to apply until the insurance payout is received and the balance is finalised. I want to make sure everything has been handled appropriately in your case and I have referred this to one of our representatives to give you a call to further discuss.
Kind regards,
Mile

Jose

Spoke to Jose and he was the most kind and patient person, nothing was to much for him explaining options and helping organise things. Absolutely amazing customer service and genuinely made an extremely hard week better, I wish more were like Jose, thank you so so much for your help, you are an asset and incredible!

New repayment arrangements

I recently arranged a new repayment plan with Pepper. I had a fantastic experience thanks to Simon on the hardship team.He was friendly, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made a potentially stressful call feel comfortable and manageable. Simon walked me through the options clearly and helped me choose a plan that fits my circumstances. Excellent service and very reassuring—highly recommended.

Zero Stars.

I paid out my car loan with Pepper Finance over a week ago. I’m now trying to trade in my vehicle, only to find there is still money showing on it and the security interest hasn’t been removed.This has been an absolute nightmare to resolve. I strongly advise everyone to avoid Pepper Finance. Absolute scammers.
