    Decided that I would go check this company out as now I have my doubts but wasn't sure as the guy on the phone sounded very legit saying that I had passed to get a loan with them, they say that they pay the fee for the loan pack which I still have not yet received you are suppose to get it within 48hrs and you just repay them back on a certain day and they take the money from your account, I have been stung by companys before asking for a fee.
    And after reading a few of the posts on here I think I have made the right decision, I have had to cancel my card as this company tried to take the fee from it today and yet I told them that I didn't have the fee until tomorrow.
    Well they won't be getting any fee from me I think I saved myself £49.99 thankgod :)

    Crikey, they are getting clever now.

    How on Earth are we supposed to know if we are getting ripped off if they are now "sounding very legit"??

    What is going to happen if they have a colourful website or they PROMISE the loan??

    Canceling your card may not have helped if you already gave the number out and happily agreed that some stranger on the phone is welcome to take money out of your account.

    It's just a shame that loads of vunerable people are going to fall for this with them "sounding very legit".
    They probably won't get a colourful website as that means them paying out money thats why they don't have one now I expect, and as for promising the loan thats what they have already done to me.
    I am going to be giving a new account number altogether as I did it by credit card and it is not linked to my bank account. :)
  • I have a link for their website but can't seem to post it here as I am a newbie :eek:
