I find this unbelievably corrupt. Interest rates go up.. so does the loan. Interest rates go down,,, loan stays the same. Well done Barclays.

Barclays should hang there heads in shame, FirstPlus is there child, they charge extortionate interest rates, I think the Government would do something especially in this economic climate.

I made an official complaint to the Banking Ombudsman a few years ago about the extortionate interest rates on Firstplus loans. I am paying over 9% on a secured loan on my property. I have finally decided to sell the property. I was well aware of what I was taking on at the time but I honestly thought they would pass on rate reductions and be fair to their customers.

I feel ripped off. They seem to set their own rules and interest rates too. We've had enough, especially in this economic climate.

I have had this loan for years and it's never lowered it's interest rate, it needs to change in line with the Bank of England

The interest rates have been kept far too high for too long. They should be reduced to align with current rates. I have had no correspondence or statements since 2008.

First Plus have ripped off thousands of desperate people and they should review their rates and interest in light of the current climate society is facing!

I'm happy to be part of this petition and take part in any other campaign to get this company to reduce its interest rates.

first plus must reduce their interest rates in line with the boe rates, which ishow they increase them. They cannot keep using their customers who often have no where else to turn to pay for their coperate mistakes

Can not believe how rude the Barclays First Plus Staff are, they do not reply to emails sent regarding my Barclays First Plus Account asking that it it may be moved to another Barclays product. Barclays Bank have demonstrated all that is bad in the banking world by continuing to charge excessive interest rates.

After first plus wouldn't help me when i couldnt keep repayments i was forced to sell house and now still owe a high amount of money. When i got my redemption i was shocked at how little i had paid off and how unhelpful and rude first plus are.
