Patience with a basket case

published

After a tumultuous twelve months I was financial basket case at my wits end, the endless patience and optimism of Pepper staff made it possible for me to get it done. At the end my repayments are much less than I expected, I can look forward with optimism.

Worst company I’ve delt with a car loan.

published

I have had 6 car loans and pepper money it the worst I’ve had by far. No trouble with any other. Broke my leg last July and payments was taken over by insurance and nearly on a weekly basis I’d get phone calls about late payments. I’d say it’s been taken care of by insurance. They’d ask me to call them. I would. Theyd say it’s all up to date and I’d still get 3-4 calls a week from them. Explain every time. Wouldn’t write down any notes. Explain 2 days later. Had to change my bank details as they’d pull money from my account even though they were getting paid. Never going through these again.

They were easy to deal with

published

Customer service was excellent. We found pepper offered us a better rate than other places due to our situation. We were weary using an alternate lender from the big banks but definatly a good outcome, with great communication and easy online services.

Pepper have saved me, I was told by lenders not a chance but pepper delivered a product that suit my needs with a reasonable interest rate. Going through a div can be quite messy and failure by the other party to pay bills or credit cards left a mark on my file. Pepper were very thorough and open and honest from the beginning. Thank you pepper.

Pepper Money had the product that I needed and at the right time.
I did have an extra unexpected cost with this loan though.
Also the customer service has been great so far, so I am very satisfied.

Pepper money can’t help everyone

published

We have excellent credit, good proven income and wanted a low doc home loan and a 90% lvr construction loan but because our property is rural pepper money can’t help us. Even though it’s 10 minutes from a main town and has proven equity.

Would not recommend to anyone

published

Constuction loan!
All payments being paid late some 2 weeks after builders requirement. Final payment being held for 3- 5 days "processing time" causing delayed handover due to funds not being paid on time. Promised call backs and never received them. Took me waiting on hold and refuding to hang up till I spoke to someone.

Do not go with Pepper if you can avoid it. More head ache than its worth!!!!!

Recently recommended by our broker. The process went smoothly apart from Pepper sending us the documents instead of sending them to our broker (minor issue which did not cause any trouble). Happy so far!

Pepper Money came back with a lower interest rate, with a promise that they will review our account in 4 months and decide on a reviewed interest rate. Lets see what happens

Very unimpressed!

published

First loan payment I arranged for a change in the deduction date by 3 days to line up with my salary, and also for the credit on my account to be used as part payment. Neither of these things happened leaving us around $1000 out of budget and NO money over the next 3-4 days. We also have no redraw facility which was requested several times. There is no weekend service to attempt to resolve this either. Very unimpressed!

We refinanced our investment property with pepper money and it was from start to finish a simple and easy process, by far the best experience we have had to date. The customer service was impeccable and all questions were answered promptly. I highly recommend.

Will Pepper be passing the latest Oct 2022 rate cut onto their existing customers? Most lenders have passed 0.15% with some even up to 0.30 for investor interest only loans. Pepper has so far only announced some discounts for the NEW customers but what about your existing customers?

6 answers
Mary
Mary

Yes I am sure Pepper will cut onto their existing customers, They are a very fair company and I hold them in the utmost respect.

Kate
Kate

It doesn't appear so because they have only announced a rate cut for new customers. See https://www.savings.com.au/home-loans/rba-rate-cut-october/#pepper

Up to 24 basis points (0.24% points) applies to some loans for new customers
Announcement date: 01 October 2022 (for new customers), Effective date: 01 October 2022 (for new customers)

I also want to point out that with the July 2022 rate cut, Pepper only passed 20 basis points (0.20% points) of 25 basis points. Some other lenders eg St George Variable residential investment property loan IO offered even more than the RBA announcement (30 points), Westpac Variable residential investment property loan IO (30 points), Resimac 25 basis points (0.25% points).

No confirmation of cuts for existing customers yet

So if Pepper does not pass on this cut (0.25%) and along with only passing on some of the July cut (0.20% of the 0.25%, as a IO loan, that is a total 0.30% since July that Pepper are taking away from me as a customer. I find this extremely disappointing especially when you look at other lenders who has been proactive and prompt in their response to the recent cut. Every day Pepper delays an announcement and delay the effective date a cut comes into effect is more dollars in their pockets.

Pepper
Pepper Money A.Pepper

Hi Kate. Yes, Pepper has reduced its rates for existing customers by 0.15%. The effective date for this change is 18 October 2022. Please contact us on 130 650 931 if you have any questions.
With thanks,
Natalie
