Who are QDL?

I just had a look through the lower my bills bit on Credit Expert to see what (if anything) it could suggest for me.

Anyway, I have had an email from Credit Expert saying they couldn't match anything to me and have passed my info to someone called QDL.

Has anyone dealt with them before? If so, how legit are they etc?

    Quick Decision Loans?

    The "Congratulations, application has been approved (not your actual loan though) all you need to do now is pay us a processing fee to proceed" brigade.

    As per Mabski's advice above. Don't even go there.....

    I'd suspected as much. Bit surprised that Credit Expert would get involved with a company like that to be honest.

    Having looked at your responses and taking your concerns into consideration I feel that it is only appropriate to respond.

    At Quick Decision Loans we aim to provide you with the best possible service and find you the loan that you are looking to take.

    When completing an application for the customer we assess the information provided against the criteria supplied by our lending panel which will determine the provisional decision. If the decision is positive we will inform you of the QDL decision and inform you that we will now send the application to the lender.

    The details are then sent to the lender for further review and it is at this point that a credit search will be performed by the lender. The information you have provided and the credit search will then determine if the lender is happy to provide you with the loan, what amount of loan you can have and also the APR they will charge.

    If any of the application information is incorrect or is missing vital information this will also have a bearing on the decision.

    If you are unable to have the loan or the loan offer is not acceptable you are entitled to a refund and this is mentioned before a fee is processed.

    To ensure that we are able to track, audit and offer you a quick and easy process in receiving your refund, we ask that you write to us at 3rd Floor Westmead house, Westmead, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 7LP. (95% of all refund requests are repaid with 7 working days)

    Yeah right. Do the sensible thing and never pay money to brokers.

    QDL = Rip off, fictional, compulsive liers, scam artists... dare i continue.

    Do not pay someone to do something you can do yourself for free.

    They will make promises of we will get you your loan by the end of the week, the paper work is on its way .... and lots of other bs to get you to part with your fee, then they will let that fee sit in there account gaining interest before they eventually say "sorry we were unable to help you, we will refund your fee minus the £5.00 we are actually legally allowed to charge, and thanks alot for the interest"

    do not go near them.

  • I looked at the credit expert thing too. Just out of curiousity.

    I only did it yesterday and i've had loads of missed calls from QDL already, just glad i'm not in when they ring!!

    I've no intention of using a company like this, no matter how desperate i get(and i've been desperate before, believe me!!).
  • "jen from QDL"

    Do you have permission from MSE to post on behalf of this company?
  • Looked at my credit report and clicked on the button that said to look for loans that would suit my credit situation.

    I've also got the email saying:

    "You will now receive a call from QDL who will help match you to the loan that is right for you. They have access to a wide range of products that could be right for your situation, and can provide you with further details you require."

    :eek:

    Does anyone know if they'll credit check me before I've spoken to them? I'm trying clear up my credit 'score' and I don't want a broker to ruin it!

    Does anyone know??

    they will not credit check you, they will try and get you to hand over your bank details or credit card details to "varify your id" this is a load of lies, they will debit a brokers fee, then they will not send you anything from any loan companies, and then in a month when you realise you have been scammed you will be back on here asking how to get your brokers fee back.

    do not talk to them.
