I applied for a 6k loan from them and recieved an email with the repayments and notifying the funds will be available in 24-48 hours.To verify my bank account I have to transfer a £39.99 processing fee once I have done this they will email me the loan agreement for me to sign.If I then do not wish the loan they will refund my money.It all seems good but I wanted to check if anyone has had the same offer and was it genuine.thanks in advance.

    Plenty of advice on here regarding "Advance fee loans"

    It is a waste of time and money.

    You are no more likely to get your loan than I am to have a threesome with Jessica Alba and Cheryl Cole.

    Great username, I think you have just jizer'd your money against a wall.

    I had applied for a loan of £1k with STL and paid them £19.99 fee up front. They did send the loan papers but it turns out they wanted a Guarantor for the loan and asked for details of someone who more or less owned their house and earned more than £25k a year. I did not want any of my family knowing my business so I didn't fill the form out! I suspect many people are the same as me and pay the fee but don't take the loan. I think on the whole it's a con!
