Smart Pig Mis-Sold Loans - How Do They Work?
If you have had a loan with Smart Pig in the last 5 years and you struggled to repay this, you could be eligible for a nice compensation payout.
Smart Pig specialise in short term loans for students, with some very high rates, charging as much as 800% representative APR.
However, across the UK, there have been thousands upon thousands of cases where individuals have taken out high cost loans and have been unable to pay. In some cases, lenders have granted loans without sufficient checks to income, credit status and affordability. If the individual borrower cannot afford to repay, there are added fees and a negative impact to their credit score.
Furthermore, you may have been offered a top-up, rollover or extension, but perhaps further checks were not taken as they should have been.
If you have trouble repaying your loan, you could be eligible for Smart Pig compensation, where if you submit your claim online, the lender will review your case and if approved, you could receive the full loan amount, interest and some compensation on top.

Am I Eligible for a Smart Pig Loan Refund?
If you have taken out a Smart Pig student, payday or short term loan and one or several of the following statements applies to your circumstances you may be entitled to compensation.
- During your application process, you may not have mentioned all of your debts and If this didn’t match with your credit record, the lender should have ensured to reaffirm this.
- It is possible that you underestimated your monthly student expenditure due to guesswork or eagerness to be eligible for your loan, and in such circumstances, if your figures appeared too low, your lender should have explored their reliability further.
- At the time of your application did you have a regular income? If you were self-employed during this period or even had overtime that fluctuated, the lender should have looked at this.
- Did you have evidence of recent applications for credit or previous problems on your credit record? Short term loans should not always be targeted at students and the lender should have been conscious of whether your situation was getting better or worse.
- Whenever you topped up an existing Smart Pig loan, your lender should have ensured to run another set of checks concerning whether this was affordable. Had you missed any previous loan repayments? Had your finances deteriorated since your first loan? If so, the lender should have addressed the fact that their current loan could be unaffordable and as a result, capped any more lending.
- The firm may only have carried out a brief affordability check on you because of your circumstances. Regardless of your financial status, the loan needed to reflect your personal repayment potential.
