Loans Fiesta

  • just like you all i almost fell victim to loans fiesta, i found them through loanfinder who seem to be reputable as the other companies they have are credible but loanfinder should do checks on the companies they reccomend to protect innocent customers like you and me
    i got on the loansfiesta site and filled out a very quick online form ,an indian guy called back promising me the loan i required and said id recieve it in just 2 days, he asked for no documentation but alarm bells rang when he asked fo my bank card details over the phone- i thought it very weird particularly when i had no documents or written information about them - just like you all i trustingly gave my card details over the phone where they said they'd call back after 20 mins i became suspicious and googled them (GOOD OLD GOOGLE) and was shocked to find they are not a reputable company but what seems like a scam
    AS THE SAYING GOES WHEN SOMETHING SEEMS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT USUALLY IS immdately i rang up the bank to cancel my cards and realise how lucky i am if i had left it any longer- it could have been much worse.

    I and a group of other victims are going to serve notices to these bloody w a n k e r s:mad:
  • hi i'v recently received a call from these ppl. i was wondering if any one was given an account number? i'm not sure what to do i gave them my acc number to verify that i had a cash card, was that a good idea? i really dont know whether to belive them or not because i really need the money and my bank wont allow the borrowing. plus i'm at college full-time so my income is very low

    Have you read the posts above yours???

    Keep a look out on your bank account to see your money vanishing away...

    NEVER EVER EVER give people free access into your account by throwing all your bank details out to anyone who asks for it, madness.
  • i only gave them my acc number, which from what i'v been told by nationwide is they can only set up a direct debit. however this company loans fiesta called me back today and offered to send me out the paperwork, they gave there branch address, there direct telephone number, (which i called and brought me straight to the guy i was dealing with) and there account number and sort code.
    I dont want to seem like i'm fighting in there corner, because i know all well that these type of company's do go all out to scam anyone and everyone but i dont know what to think. They have given me all this information, am i one of the percentage of people that they help out and Actually lend me there money? any guidance would be great guy's if its advised to stay away then i will. However, i dont want to pass up the chance of lending a few grand when it could be staring me in the face.

    thanks
  • I applied for a loan, and this company got hold of my details, stupidly i agreed to pay a fee of £50 which as yet don't know if i have been charged (most probably have) as i was told i was 100% getting the money i needed. I then read all the comments on here. I keep getting an Indian man phone me. When i told him i wasn't proceeding with the loan he got quite angry and asked why i changed my mind in 48 hours.

    I told him it was a scam and that i just didn't need the money any more. He kept saying "you do need money" as i kept replying "i don't need the money". After this going on for a couple of minutes, I then told him i will go to the police if he tries to take any money from me then he just hung up.

    I'm so angry about this. The number he rings from is +2071060719, so if you see this number calling you, i'd advise you ignore and block the number in future.

    Never use a broker that charges an upfront 'processing fee'!

    It doesn't matter what the company name is, it's all the same. They do not have a loan waiting for you, all they do is get you to part with 50 -60 quid, then ignore you/fob you off.

    At best(!) you will get your details passed on to payday loan companies (*shudder*).

    Why on earth would you need to pay money to get a loan? Think about it.

    Good luck in getting your money back, but think of this as a harsh lesson.

    How fortunate that i stumbled acrooss this today,i was approached by this company only yesterday confirming a loan.they told me the funds would be in my account next friday and needed my card details(yeah i know) all i gave them was the long number no sort code or cvc so i don't know if makes any differeance,i even told the guy there was not enough money so whether it affects their ability to take funds i just don't know.I smelt a rat but through need and finally finding acceptance i fell into this trap and thankfully having read all this will just cancel the card monday morning.
    Like all the above i got a guy who was hard to understand but also 2 follow up calls from a harry johnson and john o'connor + some woman who i just could not understand her name.
    if it's any use the tel number i was given was 01923 888547 but all calls have come to my mobile as "unknown"

    Thanks guys for all the above and let's hope scams like this can be stopped.
  • Pleased to say bank stopped card immediately
  • :mad::mad: Hi guys,

    Ok so we're really kicking ourselves for being so n!ive. We've been shafted by Loans Fiesta too, right royally!

    After reading your posts, we are resigned to the fact that we won't get our £50 back. We have been given three different "English names", over the past 4 weeks, of advisers and managers at Loans Fiesta. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way a racist, but sometimes it's obvious that you are being lied to.

    I was given an address to write to to complain (other than the one on the terms and conditions) which is actually a mail box service in Watford.

    We have of course written to the address on the Ts & Cs for the refund, which we know we will not get.

    If anyone has made a complaint to the Office of Fair Trading or the like, we would be very appreciative of a name and telephone number of the advisor that you are dealing with, just so we can ensure that our own complaint is dealt with by someone aware of the B****rds that are LOANS FIESTA.

    As it happens when we made the payment to Loans Fiesta, our bank immediatley called us to say that the payment was being requested from a Company in India, we stupidly figured that maybe because it is a call centre (there are many successful well televised companies that use indian call centres too) that it would be ok. So luckily our bank are aware of our account status, as we have business accounts attached, and keep a very close eye. We have today informed them again that no money is to leave any of our accounts without our verbal consent for the time being.

    My partner is all for driving to Watford as I type..... good job I have the car keys. So if anyone has complained to the OFT and has details of their advisor etc, we will be making a similar complaint also.

    Thanks guys,

    Natalie & Ian, thankfully only 50 quid lighter
