Have a look at this compnaies offices on 2 Tudor Lane Cardiff on google street view, it is nothing more than a back alley in a slum area

these peopel will take £39.99 from u and will not refund it

it looks like they run it out of a terraced house

this company needs reporting to the police trading standards and the fraud squad

BE VERY AWARE OF THIS SO CALLED COMPANY ITS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAM

    I am pleased to say Cardiif Trading Standards have now allocated an Enforcement Officer to look into this compnay after i have informed them taht there trading address is a back alley in Cardiif, there other registered address is also in a very run down area

    Why do these people think they can get away with it, lets hope they are soon walking around Cardiff jail for a long time

    Also if you read this a nother quite legit compnay with te hsame name seem to be having trouble with their Cardiffs name sake

    So i suppose they have took the name of a decent compnay to disguise their scam

    Anyway this is the repsonse from the trading standards

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    In this instance on the basis of the information you have provided, I have decided to forward your case details on to our enforcement team for further review and assessment of whether there is sufficient evidence to pursue an investigation or any other action we may be able to take.

    end

    If anyone else has had problems with this company then do the same as me and contact Trading Standards in Cardiff the more info they have about this company the better

    An officer will review your case based on all the information available, if there is a need for further investigation an officer may contact you within the next 28 days.

    A quicker and easier resolution might be if we all stop giving our bank details to organisations you've never heard on a whim?

    Dont worry i have learnt a lesson from this, however i am also a fighter and will do my best to get these people put in the place were they belong.....HM Prison

    They asked me to send a bank statement before they would refund it, but don't worry i didn't

    REMEMBER FOLKS AVOID STAR LOANS OF 2 TUDOR LANE CARDIFF, UNLESS LIKE ME YOU WANT TO LOOSE £39.99

    I looked at their t&c's and like most other firms their excuse for keeping the extra fee is to pass your details onto a debt management service which in their eyes satisfies the need to keep the extra 44.50. I like the way they say we will charge a small fee of 49.50 as if there is a large fee of 49.50. It is so frustrating trying to find a loan of 2000 when the banks wont lend because you have a low credit score due to the fact you've never had a loan before or you haven't got a credit card already. If only loan companies were to look at why you have a low credit score instead of just going by numbers. personally my credit score is in the 560 bracket having never missed a payment on the few direct debits i have and a salary paid in every month and living within my overdraft.
    Even Aspire, which comes with the blessing of experian credit report have now resorted to using brokers who want a fee of between 45.00 and 50.00 to "try to acquire" a loan for you. Don't try to ring Aspire with the freephone number on their website because it doesn't exist.
    As I type this i have received yet another text from a firm called TFS loans, no doubt a few mins spent on google may well present another scam loan firm

    That number is meaningless.

    All lenders have their own internal methods of scoring your credit worthiness and they do not disclose them.

    Any score you buy from a CRA is just a way of lining their pockets.
