Fraud, scam, thieve, so called intelligent business man has reached his destination, so called "business" is shutdown by government. Don’t know why people think that cheating people is genius work, in fact it’s nothing more than robbers who rob someone in their house or on the street.

It's amazing how people have been complaining about this company on this blog since 2008 yet no one (FSA, Financial Ombudsman, OFT) has taken any action!!!
It so happens that yesterday I applied for a £5,000 loan to buy a car and guess what? Today I've been accepted for a loan!
When I asked the guy if he was an employee of a company that looks for loans on my behalf (I felt I had to spell it out for him!) he said no no! So I said "for you to have approved a loan it means you've credit checked me?" and he goes "no, I haven't but the lender have!" but he'd just told me he wasn't a broker!!! Anyway he confirmed that the loan has been approved - they only needed my Visa number for "address verification" purposes... To reassure me he didn't want to take any money he even said he didn't want/need the security code on the back of my card!!! So I said ok, give me your FSA registration, your company name and call me back in an hour. He couldn't give me their FSA number as there were no managers left in the office (now I know it's because they don't have one!!!)... Anyway, I went straight to google and typed Direct Credit and this blog popped up! And thank God for that!!!
Now that I know who they are, I'll play around with this guy - like a cat with a mouse! I won't give him any details and I'll waste him as much time as I possibly can!!! I'll take your revenge guys!
As for my £5,000 loan, I think I'll just carry on saving (thank God I earn well tho I have a bad credit history due to partner's illness and stuff...). I'm still gonna hane to squeeze a few more miles off my good old Rover 75 until I've saved enough! lol
Peace and love to everybody x0 -
I recieved a text message from a guy called James asking me to call and implied a loan application was accepted. I had to call him on a premium number but fortunately had no credit and I was not aware at time it was premium number. My advice is no matter how desperate you are DO NOT reply to them and NEVER EVER pay up front nor disclose your bank account details to these people.0
