The firm was an innovative online lender,established in 2008. They offered “short-term”regulatedunsecuredconsumerloansfrom£100to £400 to borrowers throughout the UK andupto£1,500to recurringcustomerswithgoodpaymenthistory.

In February 2012 after several meetingsto present a case for Opos to key seniormanagement personnel,Opos was appointedasanewsuppliertotheirdebtrecoverypanel.

Throughout this process, Opos seniormanagement and integration team worked inunison with both the firm and FCA, who hadfull oversight of the transaction and providedsupport and advice to ensure a seamlesstransition to mitigate any predicted adverseimpactoncustomers.

In consultation with both the firm and FCAaftercompletionof theduediligenceprocessit became apparent that in many cases theinterest charges applied was unreasonablebordering excessive. Opos chose to write-downcustomer ’sbalancesandsetthiscostoffas‘unreasonable’sums.
