    I don't know about it being a scam, but I would never pay an up front fee.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Just the name itself "Sure Thing Loans" should be enough to make you run a mile.

    I would be good money you will pay the £29.99 for your ASSURED LOAN before you find out there is no loan (and you get plagued by calls from loan sharks)

    these companies take your fee then sell your details to other loans brokers and lenders for around £30 a pop as a "lead". most dont even bother to actually try and get you a loan.

    Beware.

    JVF and co also known as surethingloan is a scam , I applied for £1000 paid the £20 which they say is a processing fee, why is the processing fee different for each applicant, !!! ? and got nothing and they do not reply after u have paid . and as u will know by now there is no contact number !!! I should have known it was not legit as they could have taken the processing fee from the loan. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THEM, I DONT KNOW HOW I GO ABOUT GETTING MY MONEY BACK < ANY IDEAS LET ME KNOW, as the letting clearly said it was a processing fee for transfering funds.

    Why on earth do nat west allow themselves to be used for this scam and not block all deposits to this account?

    As a 70% government owned bank I think they have some responsibility to stop this kind of thing and people offering unregulated loans in the UK which must be illegal?

    R.
    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.
  • We applied for a £5,000 with sure thing loans and they said it would take just 2 days. We needed the money urgent. We told them that . We paid a loan fee and then they took ages , over two weeks to get us the loan money into our account. I rekon we sent 50 emails to them .

    As I say we did get our loan but I want the fee back as they took longer than they said and we told them it was urgent. I have been told we dont stand a chance as we got the loan so that ****** me off :mad:
  • as they could not get me a loan how can i get this back please?
