If you search this board you will find lots of posts about this and similar companies that charge an up-front fee. The general consensus is that they are a rip-off, best avoided. They are not loan companies as such, but brokers who 'find' you a loan, usually at some eye-watering APR for a much smaller amount than you asked for. You then have a long struggle to get your money back.
Try your own bank, but to be honest if you're both on DSS then you are unlikely to get a loan at anything like a decent rate in the present climate. Best get a job and then save up.I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0
