    Thankyou OP - I hope it tracks with Quidco!
  • Just borrowed £80 for a month... luckily I didn't need to, but it's worth doing for the Quidco cashback! Not a bad way to make £45.

    Quidco..... ah bliss ;)

    Just checked and my payment is also tracking.

    Have to say though, that the payment is not 'immediately' in my account as it will take the bank three days to process, by which time I will have been paid. Lucky I am not desperate for the money!
  • You have to wonder what's in it for Payday UK. Surely they'd be better off raising the minimum loan amount so they at least cover the money offered as cashback.
  • I have just realised something odd- I applied for £80 (I am sure) but it is showing as £100 in my paydayuk account, so £125 paid back next month.

    Is it because all NEW loans have a £25 interest fee? (says this on their homepage) ...so if I borrowed again I could have £80, with £20 interest?

    I think everyone else should have a quick check to see if theirs is the same.
    Vanquis- Limit £1250, balance £0
    Capital One Classic- Limit £800, balance £0
    Natwest Current Account- £800 OD limit, approx £600 OD
    Loan- £3300, will be paid off by Dec 09
    Student Loan- paid off Dec 09 (That's £150 a month extra! Woohoo)
    Empire Catalogue Account- £750 limit, balance £30
  • On the homepage "Typical 1737% APR" :rotfl:. Would these do credit checks, ect. Might try it for the quidco.
    Total Debt - £0.00
    Debt Free Date - Apr 2008
    Lightbulb Moment - Jul 2006

    Look after then pennies and the pounds will look after themselves!

    They *hope* your going to take out further loans, extend the loan or miss payments to get the commission they have paid back.
    if you take out a £200 loan in the future thats their commission paid, then you will need one to get through the next month after youve paid the first one and so on

    It says £80 and shows a total of £100 if you add the two together.

    One thing I will say though is if you were in a rush for same day payment, people would be in a mess. To me sameday means same day transfer.

    Mine shows a £100 loan, with £25 interest payable on 24th August.

    Rubbish :( never mind eh. Should not have galloped through it, but I know I only typed in £80 in the first place.
