    Are they allowed to quote a premium rate number without also stating how much the call will cost?

    what a rip off....

    Another example of a company taking advantage of people that probably need every penny they have got the most.

    I would be very suspicious of a company whose contact number begins with 090.
    Is there an address on their letter? I have looked at the link at Stockport and this appears to be an 'Independent Financial Adviser' who would probably be on a 'commission basis'.
    Cash Finance Direct seems to be a 'franchise' internet 'work from home' company - I think you need to be careful here.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    They have just rang me from a withheld number, gave me the 090 number too and told me £1.50 a min but if i talk to them and decide to not take loan they will reimburse me the cost of the call! I kinda doubt that, asked me to ring in the next 15 mins also as he'd just passed my details on, very very pushy and I think a con!

    The same idiot of a guy rang me up and persuadd me to call that 090 number and that my loan is on the way. I speant £32 for that call and up till today I have not been reinbursed. It has been 5 8 months now. No one should trust them. They are lies and dubious cheats with fictitious motives and malicious deals. They never give you an address and they dont have any other number apart from the premium nulber. This is sick/. I just hate them.

    Cash Finance Direct is a company called Horizon Finance in Stockport.
    the page above is a link to claim back you high rate phone calls after you have been "refered" to their checking service.

    Use the information ... including a FREEPOST address!!

    Good Luck ... and don't get caught again

    I've just had a call from these jokers - confirming I've been pre-approved for a loan. I'm now writing to ask them who has applied for a loan in my name, or if they are cold calling why they have called a TPS registered person, and who they got my details from.

    If I ever do want a loan, they are now bottom of the list.

    We were desperate and called the 090 phone number for Horizon Finance - they were unable to help us with a loan so I went ahead and sent copies of the itemised phone bill to the Freepost address helpfully posted on this thread (thank you) and lo and behold we go a cheque for the full amount of £40.85 in a fortnight. Now we may have just struck lucky, but I thought it might be helpful to let you all know that it's worth trying to get your telephone costs back.
  • Hi,
    Out of circumstances i needed a quick loan of £500 so i contacted Cash Finance Direct, they assured me the loan would go through as soon as i called them on the 090 number. I did this then they asked me to call back on another 090 number. So yet again i called and all they did was say that there were two lenders interested who wanted to remain anonymous, when i tried to question what service they had actually given me the guy on the phone hung up!

    I'm so annoyed, as Cash Finance Direct knew that i'm on a low income with children, it disgusts me.

    Please do not use this company ever, learn by my costly mistake.
