  • Please tell me other people have read the email about the loans and are currently giggling away shouting 'no chance' at their computer :beer:
    There is absolutely no way, for any fee, I'd do this!!
    It was as bad as the 'I've just got out of prison' for the finding a job place

    I don't know about giggling. I went a shade of white just imagining what this would do to my bank account, credit rating etc. etc. OMG! Wouldn't even do it for £1000!

    I will! I have never done any work for this mob, not in all the years I have been signed up with them. Nothing to lose.

    If they treble the fee, I'll think about it. But the inconvenience of keeping your bank acc empty for 3 days - what about other debits. Plus the credit rating issues of course. And having to dodge calls for three days? yikes!

    Email sent. I asked if it was a hoax.
  • My reply was:

    My goodness. Even if you added on an extra 0 at the end of the fee i still would not apply. You are aware that this will effect somebody's credit rating. I think you should make sure this is on the email as i consider it quite serious.

    Good Luck, your gonna need it!


    Maybe if a few send an email because as bad as RE and Gap are they have never taken the Pi** this much!

    OK. I give up. Who are we talking about?
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    Weeg, dont be silly! This is financial suicide. If you want a loan, mortgage or remortgage within the next six years you cant have a defaulted payday loan on your CR. Even a payday loan in itself is frowned upon.

    I've sent a sniffy email too, advising them to add a disclaimer about the long term repercussions of accepting the shop and advised that it may be a matter for the FSA.

    No email for me but I'll take a wild guess. T** by any chance?
