ICL / Money Shop Scheme ends

A first payment of 4.31p in the £ was paid in May/June 2021.

A second, much smaller payment of 0.65p in the £ is being paid on 14 or 18 January 2022.

If you do not receive this second payment, see below for what to do.

a second small payment from the ICL/Money Shop scheme

 


Contents

  • Background to the Scheme
  • 4.3% paid in May & June 2021
  • Second, smaller payment to be paid in January 2022
  • Was your ICL debt sold to PRAC/BW Legal?
  • 5% in all – that is a very poor outcome for customers

Background to the Scheme

This “Scheme of Arrangement” covers borrowers from the ICL brand names, Money Shop, Payday UK and Payday Express, who were given unaffordable loans.

ICL had two million customers, with three big payday lending brands:

  • The Money Shop was once Britain’s largest payday lender on the high street.  The Money Shop stopped making payday loans in August last year.
  • Payday UK and Payday Express were two large online lenders. These both stopped making new loans in October 2017.

In summer 2018, the number of affordability complaints about payday loans increased significantly. Paying refunds on these complaints forced Wonga and Wageday Advance to go under.

In the last half of 2018, ICL received 45,000 complaints. So ICL wqs facing escalating costs and it was closing shops. Now the business is being closed completely because of the cost of these complaints.

A Scheme of Arrangement is a legal device which limits a company’s liability to its creditors. See What is a Scheme? for more details. ICL is using this to limit the amount it has to pay out in refunds on unaffordable lending.

The Scheme was approved by creditors in September and by the Court on 8 October 2019.

4.3% paid in May & June 2021

A claims page was published and all Claims had to be in by April 9 2020.

The Money Shop home page said:

  • We have calculated the final dividend amount and you will be receiving 4.31p per £1.
  • Where you provided us your bank details we will commence making payments from 24 May 2021.

These payments were made by BACS. People will be paid in batches, once or twice each week through to the end of June:

  • We are unable to let you know the exact date of your payment.
  • You will receive an email before we make your payment with your calculation and cash payment amount.
  • If you did not provide us with bank account details, we have sent you a cheque.

The following details come from the March 2021 Scheme report:

  • 182,566 Claims were received;
  • the uphold rate was about 85%;
  • the total compensation people should have got was c. £340 million – now people will only get a tiny amount of that back;
  • it is now too late to submit a Claim.

No tax is deducted from the amount paid so there is nothing to reclaim.

Second, smaller payment to be paid in January 2022

After the first payment ICL was still receiving some money eg from a VAT recovery claim. This is being distributed to customers who had complaints upheld in the Scheme.

This will be 0.65p in the £. That is 0.0065% of the total redress that was calculated in your case.

This second payment will be much smaller than the first. If you got £100 on May 2021, you will get about £15 extra now in January 2022.

Customers were told by email about this on 12 January. The payments will be made on the 14 and 18 of January – your email says which date you should be paid.

Only bank transfers are being made – cheques will not be sent for this.

This second payment will be the final distribution. ICL will be liquidated – the company will no longer exist.

Was your ICL debt sold to PRAC/BW Legal?

Where you still owe ICL a balance on the last loan, this has been “set off” against your refund.

An example:

  • you should have had a refund of £2500 and you still owed £1000
  • then your balance is cleared, leaving you now being owed a refund of £1500
  • you then get 4.3% of the £1500

If your last loan was sold to a debt collector, in most cases ICL has arranged for you to still have this set off.

The exception is if your loan was sold to PRAC/BW Legal. Here you have been left owing the debt to PRAC/BW Legal and were only paid 4.3% on the redress ICL calculated.

PRAC/BW Legal is offering to reduce some customers’ balances, but see No set off in a Scheme/Administration when debt had been sold? for how you can complain and ask them to write off your whole balance.

5% in all – that is a very poor outcome for customers

When the Scheme was proposed in August 2019, it was suggested people might get back nearly 80p in the pound.

My first thought when I saw the 80p in the £ estimate was “and pigs might fly“… see Will the Money Shop really pay 80% of your payday loan refund?

And that has turned out to be spot on…

In September it admitted that:

  • it has decided to include all loans over 6 years which may reduce this to c. 44p.
  • it has decided to simplify the assessment in favour of the customers, which may further reduce this to 27p.
  • if twice as many people apply for a refund, this may go down to 14p.

By February 2020 in the previous quarterly report, the scheme administrators were warning this could be less than 10p.

So about 5% (4.3p + 0.65p)  is a dismal outcome for customers.

Why won’t the FSCS help these customers?

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) covered people making PPI claims if their firm had gone bust.

But the FSCS doesn’t cover payday loans. This was a very poor decision by the FCA.

Customers of the Money Shop, Payday UK and Payday Express have been let down badly by the UK regulators. The lenders were allowed to carry on giving loans that breached the affordability rules for years. And now there is no backup compensation scheme for when a lender goes under.

    I’ve just received an e-mail detailing another payment will be made on the 14th January.
    It works out at around 15% of the previous payment, so if you received £200 in the previous payment, you will be receiving another £30.

      Hope this helps some of you on here. I’ve just recieved an email stating that my 2nd payment will be made on the 14th on Jan. There are more contact details on the email if payment hasn’t arrived on that date,to correct banking details if needed. It also states that this must be corrected by the 20th,as they will not be able to make any payment after the 25th of jan. I assume its possible that other people will have diffrent dates,but just thought I’d let people know that emails are starting to be sent out

      What does that final part mean about the 0.652 for every £1 of cash redress? Does this mean you are receiving another refund on top of the £27.68?

      • Sara (Debt Camel) says

        January 13, 2022 at 11:30 am

        No, the final payment of £27.68 is the further payment of 0.652p in the £

    I don’t understand this, regarding the second payment. Just received this email:

    We can confirm that we will pay you a further 0.652p for every £1 of cash redress.

    Applying this ratio, this is your calculation:

    Potential Redress Amount £ 736.69
    &nbsp &nbsp
    Additional cash payment to you £ 4.80

    Based on the above am I being refunded £478 PLUS the £4.80? 736.69 * 0.652 = £478. Or is this wishful thinking on my part?

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 12, 2022 at 5:44 pm

      the amount being paid if not 65.2p per pound, it is 100 times smaller – 0.652p per pound.

      £4.80 is what you will be paid.

  12. Alison says

    January 12, 2022 at 5:02 pm

    I just had an email about this and it said to the 2nd payment should be paid by the 20th of January and if not to contact them.

        Hi Sarah

        I received the same email above it is not quickquid that is the money shop

        But the value they are paying doesn’t equal the 0.65 to the pound they have quoted

        I though this process was closed what has happened ?

        Details of your final payment

        We can confirm that we will pay you a further 0.652p for every £1 of cash redress.

        • Sara (Debt Camel) says

          January 12, 2022 at 5:50 pm

          that is the right calculation. they are paying you 0.65p in the pound -a hundred times less than 65p in the £.

            Hi Sara,
            If the calculation. they are paying is correct then will the payout in March be 0.30p to 0.50p in the pound -a hundred times less than 30p to 50p in the £ ?

          • Sara (Debt Camel) says

            January 12, 2022 at 6:59 pm

            no QQ will be paying 30-50p in the pound (they expect)

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      If you didn’t receive the first payment in May/June last year you need to email scheme@themoneyshop.co.uk immediately with the Subject “NO FIRST PAYMENT RECEIVED”
      Give your:
      Name and phone number
      Claim reference number (in the email you have just had)
      Also your bank account details – sort code and account number.

      I don’t know what can be done at this point but if you don’t do this asap the answer will definitely be nothing.

        Mine says something like 3+ pounds and a potential redress of 500+. What does this mean I’m only getting 3 quid back. Of so that’s pointless

        • Sara (Debt Camel) says

          January 12, 2022 at 5:49 pm

          yes you will get about £3 back on £500.

      This is the second much smaller amount they said they would pay out (see https://debtcamel.co.uk/money-shop-scheme-second-small-refund/).

      It takes all the remaining money – not a lot – and distributes it. the Money Shop will then be liquidated the week after.

    By my calculations they owe me thousands !!

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

    just like everyone else, recieved a “second” payment letter today, never recieved a first payment, sent them an email.

    i gave my bank details VERY soon after the claims portal first went live and i’ve only ever lived at one house, smells fishy to me, almost scandalous

  34. Antony says

    January 12, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    still not recieved first payment, have sent them an email today, i gave my bank details the same week the scheme went live, same bank account, living at the same house, this story seems all too common, sounds scandalous

  35. Suzzyjen says

    January 12, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    Got an email that I will be getting 88.98 .Very good news on a dark miserable January evening it will minimise my overdraft of 120 quid. Thanks for the heads up

  36. DebbieG says

    January 12, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    Yes same here. As soon as I got the email about the scheme, I went online and completed all the info required.

    Haven’t received a penny to date. Complete con.

    £6368.75 redress amount. With the second payment, I have had about £280 actually paid. Happily still in debt thanks to Moneyshop and all the other unmentionables in this crooked market.

    • Av says

      January 12, 2022 at 9:48 pm

      Potential redress nearly £4300… The say im getting £28!! Thats absolutely crap

  39. Mark says

    January 12, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    I will get £2.56 back on a £396 loan. That was well worth the effort of making a claim for all to be returned or a percentage. I’m sure the people who dealt with all the claims took the majority, just another load of crooks taking money of the crooks who should’ve sent it our way. Bunch of vultures the lot of them

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 13, 2022 at 7:55 am

      The problem is that very large numbers of people had been missold loans over a long period. Blame the FCA as the regulator for allowing this to continue AND for not insisting that the lenders were well capitalised so there was more money available to pay compensation AND for not providing any backup scheme when a lender failed.

      • Mark says

        January 13, 2022 at 8:10 am

        And yet Money shop is allowed to continue to trade as a loan broker now too, rubs salt in the wounds that. People should definitely avoid brokers too

        • Sara (Debt Camel) says

          January 13, 2022 at 8:12 am

          This is a different firm. They bought the name from the scheme administrators.

          But yeah, avoid those broker leaches.

  40. Karl says

    January 13, 2022 at 1:09 am

    I don’t understand this at all.

    We can confirm that we will pay you a further 0.652p for every £1 of cash redress.
    Applying this ratio, this is your calculation:
    Potential Redress Amount £ 1309.71
    Additional cash payment to you £ 8.54

    Surely 0.652p for every £1 would equal
    853.93092???

    I have not received that at all

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 13, 2022 at 7:51 am

      The second payment is 0.65p in the £. This is 0.652%
      That is a hundred times smaller than 65p in the pound which would be 65%

  41. Lisa says

    January 13, 2022 at 3:08 am

    Just checked bank statement and I received first payment on 9th June for £71

  42. Edward Johnston says

    January 13, 2022 at 5:36 am

    Have also received the same email from ICL.

    However, the email clearly states that we are to receive 0.652p for every £1 of cash redress, not 0.652%!!!!

    The school that i went to taught me that that is two different calculations.

    My redress amount is £1,179.75.

    Therefore my payment amount should be £1,179.75 x 0.652 = £769.19

    I have been offered £7.69, which is 0.652% of my redress amount.

    Clear as mud.

    Have emailed them for clarification.

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

    • saver says

      January 13, 2022 at 11:38 am

      Hi
      they arnt even offering 1p to the pound they are paying 0.652p (which is less than 1p)

    • A regular reader says

      January 13, 2022 at 4:42 pm

      @ Edward..
      Money shop’s calculation is correct. £7.69 is 0.652p of every £1 of your original redress amount..
      Its just over half a penny for every £1 they owed you.

      FOR EVERYONE – Divide your redress amount by a 1000
      Then multiply it by 6.52 (which equals 0.652p or 0.652%)

      The answer will be the same figure money shop used to calculate the 2nd payment

  43. Lou says

    January 13, 2022 at 8:53 am

    Just seen they are only paying 4.3 to every pound for first payment was expecting £371 but got £16 didn’t realise till today I checked my bank and was paid that in June 2020 and would not have seen as only £16 lol , and then the excitement of a further £2.42!

    I would check your bank account may/June last year as the amount is so low probably missed it like I did

    Such a low amount for everyone

  44. Denise says

    January 13, 2022 at 12:54 pm

    Happy New Year to everyone….

    I just read an email that I got yesterday from The Money Shop….Oh dear!!!!!
    It seems that I am getting a percentage of a percentage…of a percentage.
    It boiled down to this….
    Potential Redress Amount £ 6643.26
    Additional cash payment to you £ 43.31
    A figure that was banded about last year was around the £128.00 mark. I honestly thought that I would get that amount…
    It appears that I, like so many of you, are in the same boat. The corner cutting has been intense. It’s as though they have culled the cash….
    My email also included this….

    “We are making a final payment to you of £ 43.31

    You will receive this payment on 14th January 2022

    IMPORTANT check you have received this.

    If you have not received this, you must let us know by 20th January 2022.

    Instant Cash Loans is closing. After 25th January 2022 we will not be able to make your payment.”

    I tried calling the number on the claims portal, but it only rang once…and then went dead….

    I do feel your pain…It seems such a drastic outcome for something that was so protracted.

    Do take care everyone…and thank you for reading…

  45. James Maclean says

    January 13, 2022 at 1:22 pm

    I have received my payment today the second payment.
    I have emailed several times as I never received a first payment from them. I am unsure how you can receive a second payment but not got the first.
    I suppose there is little to no hope if the money has already spent.
    Has anyone else has this issue??

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 14, 2022 at 9:07 am

      Have you checked your bank statements for last May and June to be sure it isn’t there?

      If you didn’t receive the first payment in May/June last year you need to email scheme@themoneyshop.co.uk IMMEDIATELY with the Subject “NO FIRST PAYMENT RECEIVED”

    January 14, 2022 at 10:24 am

    What is the redress figure and the traditional figure how much would I get between £1589.00 redress and adtiobal £10.31

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 14, 2022 at 11:09 am

      If your redress figure was £1589, the second payment you should get today or on Monday will be £10.31.

      I am not sure if that was what you are asking?

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 14, 2022 at 11:32 am

      yes, but this is in addition to the 4.3p they paid in May/June last year, so overall people have been paid 5%. Still very low!

  51. Rose says

    January 14, 2022 at 2:00 pm

    I didn’t receive an email about the additional payment – I received £127.30 last year (redress figure was £2953.53): last year, PRAC emailed me to say that ICL’s letter was unclear, and I *didn’t* have a balance with them (the debt had been sold to them, but I had since cleared it) – so I am not sure, as it was sold on, if I would be eligible, and this is why I haven’t received the email – or if it’s another reason.

    Is anyone else in this position, or have any insight?

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      January 14, 2022 at 2:09 pm

      I think you should have received an extra payment. You could email them and ask why you have not been told about it.

      I had the same email about being paid on the 18th Jan 2022. I emailed before this date to confirm my new bank details and got email back stating these had been updated. I never received payment yesterday and emailed like you did with all the details they asked us to, to the scheme email address and heard nothing back. I sent a chaser this morning stating I’m worried I won’t get money as you are closing on 25th jan 2022 and still heard nothing.

      I was after a telephone number too but I found on money shop website the following:

      ‘If you cannot find the answer to your question, please email us at scheme@themoneyshop.co.uk. Our phone lines are now closed.’

      By the above they don’t have phone lines now just all done by email.

      I hope you get payment and so do I, as we done what they have asked. So frustrating you can not call.

    Hi Kim

    Yes, it is really frustrating to not get an acknowledgment……

    I really hope we both get our money too……

    I have sent another chaser email too…Fingers crossed.

    I emailed them last year and had no response and have only just noticed this.

    Despite putting my claim in early, I have not received any correspondence or payment.

    What an absolute scam of a scheme!
