Advice Please On Cash Finance Direct??

Can anyone help me.

I applied for a loan with though moneybackbank for which I was refused. However, this morning iv received a call from a company called Cash Finance Direct, who told me they specialise in loans for people who have been refused elsewhere. But the thing is they want me to call an 0905 number, but they claim to give you this money back after you have applied with them. Can anyone who knows anything about these guys please let me know I should call them or not?

Thanks

  • i had a similar dealing with wentworth direct finance, DO NOT PHONE THAT NUMBER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a premimium rate number charged at £1.50 per minute and they will keep you on for over 20 minutes and at the end of it will give you another number to call which is also a premimium number to go about getting your money back! a big waste of time and money and you get nothing in the end.
  • Agree with poster above. It would be cheaper for you to go to a moneylender!
    Don't touch with a bargepole, but I would be interested in finding out how they knew about your circumstances?

    See my post in the very begining of moneybackbank loan? (merged) . I warned about this ...
  • Do they actually pay any loans to applicants or is it all a con based on the premium number?
