    What have YOU heard about them - why would you want to know about somebody else's comments which would be irrelevant to you?

    they are ask yourself

    were is the media publishing advertisments, (daily mirror,star ect) most loan companies have ads in the known papers

    these not much around about them online and from what i seen the other day someone did mention they do charge you a fee before you even get a loan,

    not worth all the hassle,

    I APPLIED FOR A LOAN AND A MAN CALLED CHARLIE BROWN SED HIS COMPANY PEOPLE WILL COME TO MY HOUSE TO GIVE THE 3000LOAN AND THEY SED THEY WILL TAKE A 55POUND RECIEPT OF ME FIRST, THEN GIVE THE 3000 LOAN to ME. THEN YESTERDAY THEY CALLED ME AND SED THEY WILL COME TO MY HOUSE AND THEY SED FIRST I NEED TO SEND THEM THE 55POUNDS THROUGH MONEYGRAM TO THERE ADDRESS. SO I DID IT THEN I RANG THEM, THEN THEY ASKED FOR THE REFERNCE NUMBER ( THE NUMBER ON THE RECIEPT THEY NEED TO TAKE THE MONEY OUT) I SED FIRST COME TO MY HOUSE THEN U CAN SEE THE NUMBER. THEY SED NO GIVE IT NOW SO WE KNOW THAT U ACTUALLY DID SEND THE MONEY. SO I STUPIDLY GAVE THEM IT. AND THEN THEY SED THEY WILL CHEK THE REFERNCE NUMBER AND CALL ME BACK IN 15MINS. THEY NEVER RANG BACK. THEN I GOT A FONE CALL OF CHARLIe BROWN , BUT HE LIED. THE GUY SED he was EDDIE AND that he was GOING TO BRING the MONEY TO my HOUSE TODAY AND that i WILL HAVE TO GIVE 149POUNDS SOLICTORS FEE TO him FIRST THROUGH MONEY GRAM.

    I think the fact that they said to send it to India would send alarm bells ringing IMHO
