STAY AWAY from this ''company''.... they are nothing but scam artists, stupidly i fell for their scam and when i asked the guy on the phone if it was in their terms and conditions that it was ok to lie to their so called clients they said it was!!! the man on the phone actually hung up on me when i asked if it was a scam and told them exactly what i thought about sick sick people like them!!! i just wish i'd seen and read this forum before i stupidly threw my 47.50 at them, but i hope my stupidity will help others not to do the same thing!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM PATHWAY FINANCE... THEY WILL PROMISE U WHAT U NEED BUT TAKE UR MONEY AND LEAVE U IN A WORSE FINANCIAL SITUATION!!!

I eventually managed to speak to someone and asked what the situation was relating to their policy. Including the comments on the forums I have read.
I was answered honestly and calmly by the person I spoke to.
I was told that several people had lost their original fees as they became irate on the phone and cancelled their loans in a fit of madness.

This isn't a comment one way or another about the firm you are discussing but a general problem with how you're going about establishing their bona-fides.

It's a total waste of your breath to ask a company like this if they're legit. A legit company is going to say "yes" because they're, well... legit.

A bunch of scammers will say "yes" because, well they're scammers remember? They're not going to break down sobbing on the phone and confess all to the first curious customer who asks "'scuse me, are you scammers?"

This exercise doesn't do anything to move you any further forward. Be persuaded by facts and information from sources you really trust, not smooth talking company reps.

I, like before, web visited Monday and had Paperwork TODAY! Too good to be true my other half checked and found the delightful quotes here. So I shredded quickly. Then about 20 mins ago I had a call from an 0207 number saying it was Pathway and they were pleased to advise..............UI cut in with the fact that I had received paperwork, I was then asked to hold !! She came back with 'Our lenders provide good rates etc' so I advised I had read this forum, she just repeated the lenders have good rates so I said well in that case I will go direct, my problem is not the lenders but comments I have read - no more was said as SHE HUNG THE PHONE UP !!!!

It would appear that by the grace of (dare I say it) my own intelligence I decided to pay this site a quick visit. I had googled 'pathway finance review' 'customer review of pathway' etc and found nothing negative. I also received the letter today. which is super fast considering I completed the form late yesterday afternoon.
As desperate as I am I am apprehensive of any company asking for a broker fee. I know they are entittled but they get commision so alsways thought it a rip off. Previously I've tried YES who did refund my money, 3 months later!
Double refund?... very clever
Anyhoo after googling 'pathway finance scam' OMG google went nuts and nearly blew my laptop up.
Having read this, it's safe to say I will be giving them a wide berth.
Thanks to all the people (that don't work for pathway) that have posted here and saved me £64.50 (yep it must've gone up)

They must of put the cost up due to people getting wise to them courtesy of this forum..


on another note could those who have lost money to these shisters(sp) complain to the banking ombudsman as they are using a nat west account for "fraud" just a thought dont let them get away with it..:mad:

Well guys, as promised i have returned with some news.

"LEAVE THESE IDIOTS WELL ALONE"

They are a complete rip off............I have given them more than enough time and patience to sort the issues out and no reply. THEY Changed numbers several times, and am now unable to contact them.

I have reported them for fraud to the police and am also in the process of issuing them with a bancruptcy order. See where that leads.

STAY AWAY< STAY AWAY>

pathway finance are discusting excuses for human beings. i applied for a loan online to get my childminding buisness up and running and i recieved the contract signed it paid the fee n sent it back. what a suprise!! after reading everyone on heres posts i looked up there adresses and rang them and both adresses said this company are robbing con men who use there adressess for mail.. (all our bank details) illegally may i add! i rang the company and no answer. later that night i started to get very angry and rang repeatedly. at least !!!! them off a bit. then to my shock a message was left changing the number to 0871559222 .. so i ring and get maddam this maddam that.. he gave a number for a loan company that had accepted me for finance. slm loans.. i ring this company who to my suprise had never heard of pathway finance and haddent heard of me. at this point my blood was boiling all i want now is my money back. but guess what the number is a dead line now.. trading standards have been informed if any of you scum are reading this as we all know you enjoy a good read.. (lets face it you didnt act to suprised when i told you about the feed back about ur company) .. my solicitor will find u people and u will get time for all the people you have conned. u should be ashamed praying on vunerable people.

I recently did a google search for a loan for unemployed people as my best friend is getting married in NZ. I have no savings so thought i would see if i could get a loan.

I came across pathway finance and by the next day i had recieved the forms to fill out and return. The fee upfront is now £54.50. I then recieved a call from a london number who said that i was guaranteed this loan and they put in the letters i would receive DOUBLE my fee back as "peace of mind" for me. I was over the moon as never thought i'd be accepted - credit rating not great and on benefits - but now on discovering this feedback I am so glad i never paid the £54.50. I have tried to get them on the phone too and on the second number i was given there is now a recorded message telling me to call 118118 for the number as the one i was given no longer exists!!!

Still looking for a loan but it aint easy since I am unemployed! I doubt i will make my NZ trip now

Thank the lordy for this forum!!!
