Dirkitech Posted August 23, 2018 Share I paid the deposit straight into I-me solutions account. Thank you everyone. I made a super bad mistake. It seemed like a reputable company.I-me finance it gets advertised everywhereNo kidding, its in store and online all over the place like a parasite, but a parasite I considered until this. Same with MiWay, considered them with the bunch of available insurance options until user feedback shed a poor light.From the calculations and values that's been posted, it does look like they did you in largely with the deposit though. Hope you get some assistance to take this further!I'll be avoiding this company when I start looking at "track biking" again, so you still have my thanks.

Rust Never Sleeps Posted August 24, 2018 Share Before signing an asset finance contract make sure that you have been told what the repayments, interest rates etc are. Most finance companies have calculators on their websites-test these before you buy. They should also have a FAQ section on the website covering things like early settlement scenarios, deposits, defaults etc. Most finance companies are registered credit providers -this should also reflect on their documentation Edited August 24, 2018 by Rust Never Sleeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendWarrior80 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Can't say I'm a big fan of getting stuff on credit. If I can't afford something, then I can't afford something. I had a credit card a few years ago, and only had it for a few weeks until I took the scissors to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlin Fogg Posted August 27, 2018 Share Sorry to hear man, reading this it sounds like it was closer to being modelled on a leasing to buy or residual basis, as opposed to a straightforward financing deal? Hope you come right. Topic is worth keeping an eye on though.Wonder how the likes of Wesbank/Yondo fair against this, or their views. Would imagine it creates a bad perception that would affect them.It's a valid point you raise because it can affect us at Yonda, so I will point out some facts on our side as opposed to trashing the other guys. Yonda and Wesbank have partnered to offer bicycle finance, so you have the assurance that the financial institution is compliant with the necessary laws. Our rates to date average out at 14,5%. There is normally a 10% deposit required, which is deducted from the financed amount, reducing your loan amount. You can settle early, there is no penalty, and you only settle the outstanding capital amount, not all the interest owed. Hope this helps. Always happy to chat things through with fellow riders if they need more info. slickjay007, Danger Dassie and Escapee.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use it properly and it is a very handy thing to have...helps with cashflow smoothing (extra 60 days can be nice for a small business), preserves 'capital' (those of us with 20c still fool ourselves we have 'capital lol) and racks up airpoints. slickjay007 and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted August 27, 2018 Share Same with MiWay, considered them with the bunch of available insurance options until user feedback shed a poor light. Not to hijack this thread but that little cheap shot is unfair... The feedback they receive on a site like hellopeter suggests otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
