New Loan Offer Revisited – Plus Latest Auction News

 

As ever, we have put our best efforts into ensuring the veracity of the borrower’s representations, but cannot warrant their accuracy.

This is a £200,000 loan with a term of12 months. Monies raised will be used to fund pension mis-selling claims and irresponsible lending claims. Lenders’ security will consist of  

A charge over the company and the specific claims funded by Money&Co.

HTLH was recently incorporated to fund pension mis-selling and irresponsible lending claims. Jonathan Paton is the sole director and the company has 10 A Ordinary Shares, which are owned by HT Legal, and 90 B Ordinary Shares, which are owned by PIM Trading Ltd. PIM Trading Ltd. has 175 Ordinary Shares with 25 being owned by Julie Ioannides, 75 by Jonathan Paton and 75 by James Minns. HTLH currently has a book of pension mis-selling claims with an expected fee income of £1,169,154 and a book of irresponsible lending claims with expected fee income of £309,420.

The company is pursuing claims in four areas currently:

  • Mis-selling of SSASs
  • Mis-selling of SIPPs
  • Ill-advised transfers from defined benefit schemes
  • Pension overcharging

Drawdown and repayment: The full amount of £200,000 will be drawn when the facility agreement has been signed. We will retain the interest due to our lenders over the term of the loan in HTLH’s Money&Co. account and distribute it to the lenders on a monthly basis.

One bullet repayment of the principal amount will be made at the end of the term.

  • The above loan is currently 41 per cent funded.

    • The latest New South Law £77,600 loan offering, yielding seven per cent and risk-rated A, is currently 24 per cent funded.

The lender is seeking to fund claims for financial mis-selling. The term of the loan is 15 months.

Below are some details  from the borrower’s pitch – as ever, we’ve done due diligence but cannot warrant or guarantee the truth of the representations. For full detail, register or log in here.

Historical Performance And IFISA Process Guide

  • Money&Co. lenders have achieved an average return of more than 8 per cent gross (before we deduct our one per cent fee). 

That figure is the result of over £24 million of loans facilitated on the site, as we bring individuals looking for a good return on capital together with carefully vetted small companies seeking funds for growth. Bear in mind that lenders’ capital is at risk. Read warnings on site before committing capital.

  • Money&Co. has been lending for over 5 years and has only had two bad debts so far, representing a bad debt rate of 0.03 per cent per annum.

All loans on site are eligible to be held in a Money&Co. Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (IFISA), up to the annual ISA limit of £20,000. Such loans offer lenders tax-free income. Our offering is an Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA) that can hold the peer-to-peer (P2P) business loans that Money&Co. facilitates. For the purposes of this article, the terms ISA and IFISA are interchangeable.

So here’s our guide to the process:

  • Step 1: Register as a lender. Go to the login page, and go through the process that the law requires us to effect. This means we have to do basic checks on you to comply with money-laundering and other security requirements.
  • Step 2: Put money into your account. This is best done by electronic transfer. We can also process paper cheques drawn in favour of Denmark Square Limited, the parent company of Money&Co.
  • Step 3: Buy loans in the loan market. Once you’ve put cash in your account it will sit there – and it won’t earn interest until you’ve bought a piece of a loan. It’s this final step that requires lenders and IFISA investors to be pro-active. Just choose some loans – all loans on the Money&Co. site can be held in an IFISA – and your money will start earning tax-free interest.

The ISA allowance for 2020/21 is unchanged from last tax year at £20,000, allowing a married couple to put £40,000 into a tax-free environment. Over three years, an investment of this scale in two Money&Co. Innovative Finance ISAs would generate £8,400 of income completely free of tax. We’re assuming a 7 per cent return, net of charges and free of tax here.

Once you have made your initial commitment, you might then consider diversifying – buying a spread of loans. To do this, you can go into the “loans for sale” market. All loans bought in this market also qualify for IFISA tax benefits.

Risk: Security, Access, Yield

Do consider not just the return, but the security and the ease of access to your investment. We write regularly about these three key factors. Here’s one of several earlier articles on security, access and yield.
