History of Solar Panel Mis-selling
Solar panel companies have been mis-selling the benefits of solar panels, having consumers believe that it was a way to save money on their electricity bills and earn money on their investment at the time by selling electricity back to the National Grid for a guaranteed amount, this is what is known as a “feeding tariff”.
Many companies misled their customers into believing that they would make these savings and make money however, these claims have proven to be, in many cases grossly exaggerated.
Many of the solar panel installations were purchased using loan finance or credit, leaving their customers with expensive monthly loan payments with no way of covering the cost of the installation and the purchase of the solar panels.
Following an investigation by the consumer group Which? In 2011, it was discovered that 9/12 companies selling solar panels gave inaccurate estimates about how much energy they would actually produce, and 7 out of 12 failed to survey the panel installation correctly leaving the panels in a shaded area which affected the panels ability to produce the promised amount of electricity.
This along with the aggressive nature in which the solar panels were sold as left many consumers in debt and having to repay substantial loans and finance.
PCP vehicle finance stands for, personal contract purchase and this is now by far the most popular method used by private individuals to purchase motor vehicles and has replaced the traditional hire purchase agreements.
There is a perception that by using the PCP method of financing, it is a more flexible way of purchasing a motor vehicle. Given that the requirement to input a large deposit as is sometimes necessary with hire purchase, this is not the case with PCP agreements. Deposits on PCP agreements can be very small and the payments can also be tailored to the buyers monthly affordability.
The difference is, with PCP agreements the buyer will never actually own the car unlike with hire purchase agreements where the buyer will eventually own the vehicle and in most cases with have equity left in the car at the end of the agreement.
Under a PCP agreement the buyer will have to return the vehicle at the end of the term unless, they elect to pay the balloon payments at the end of the agreed finance period.
