Get the compensation you deserve from Loans 2 Go. Allegiant Finance can help with your unaffordable loan claims.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) has upheld complaints against Loans 2 Go for unaffordable or irresponsible lending in several cases. Here are some examples:
Case DRN-3330127 : Mr. S complained that Loans 2 Go Limited irresponsibly provided him with an unaffordable loan. The FOS found that Loans 2 Go failed to conduct proportionate checks to ensure that Mr. S could sustainably afford the repayments. However, due to lack of further information, the FOS was unable to conclude that the loan was unaffordable for Mr. S, and thus did not uphold his complaint[2].
Despite this specific case not being upheld, it highlights the importance of conducting proportionate checks to ensure loan affordability, a recurring theme in FOS decisions.
The recurring themes in these decisions include:
These examples demonstrate that the FOS takes the issue of irresponsible lending seriously and will uphold complaints against lenders like Loans 2 Go when they fail to lend responsibly and affordably.

If appropriate resolution cannot be reached with the lender, referral to Financial Ombudsman Service.
Our success fee is due only if your lender makes a compensation payout, and is calculated on the amount of the compensation payout. We do not charge you for any part of a settlement that results in the lender reducing your outstanding balance – that is on the house!
The success fee amount is calculated using a band charging system. There are five charging bands. Each band has a maximum amount that we will charge.
