I would have thought that you learned your lesson after losing £50 to yes loans
Any firm that charge you a fee to find you a loan are best avoided like the plague unless you want to find yourself out of pocket.

No decent broker or lender will ask for an up-front fee. Brokers get their commission from the lender, not from you.I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0

I wonder whether you ever heard anything back from them. Only yesterday (10 June) I applied and was accepted for £1000 loan, I paid the £29.99 and stated that I could not find a guarantor. They sent me paperwork for a guarantor. I have today all afternoon been emailing them for my depositback but no response. I intend now to contact Natwest Hornchurch questioning why they are letting this scam company operate from them and I shall report them to every authority I can find. Its not so much about the money, its how they have been allowed to get away with it so long.

It is so sad that week after week victims come one here with the same story of being conned by these sort of jokers. For heaven's sake people, think! Reputable brokers and loan companies NEVER ask for an up front fee!I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0

I know what you mean but when people are truly desperate common sense goes out of the window. These companies know this and know exactly how to prey on these people.If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything0
