WDFC UK Ltd
Payday lender Wonga’s parent company was fined by the FCA to pay more than £2.6m in compensation for carrying out unfair debt collection practices. Barings Law brought a group action on behalf of their customers for creating an unfair relationship and breaching FCA regulations.
Curo Transatlantic Ltd
With the help of Barings Law, the defendant was sued in a group action for claims under consumer credit and unfair relationships. The defendant applied for a stay on the claims, arguing that they should first be assessed by the Financial Ombudsman Service. The defendant’s application was dismissed, and the claims continued.
CashEuroNet UK LLC
Barings sued the defendant, trading as Quick Quid and Pounds to Pocket for creating unfair relationships with customers.
After applying to have the claims transferred to the High Court to be tried with another set of claimants in a group action issued by the firm, the defendant entered into administration.
Moneybox 247
Before payday lender Moneybox was placed into administration numerous customers enlisted the help of Barings Law to pursue compensation for loans they could not afford.
Instant Cash Loans
The defendant, Instant Cash Loans – trading as Payday UK and The Money Shop – received a number of complaints relating to its affordability criteria.
Barings Law represented several of their customers in a group action prior to the company entering into a scheme of arrangement with its creditors.
Carphone Warehouse
The Carphone Warehouse was hit with a £29million fine by the FCA over the mis-selling of their ‘Geek Squad’ insurance product. Their sales staff had been instructed to sell the insurance, even if the customer had existing insurance or it did not meet their needs.
Barings Law acted on behalf of tens of thousands of clients and won compensation totalling more than £13m in damages.
Kerrigan and others v Elevate Credit International
The payday lender – also trading as Sunny – was found by the High Court to have breached Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules, as they did not consider their customers’ history of repeat borrowing.
Barings Law successfully argued that this created an unfair lending relationship.
