    Sorry you children's dreams have been taken away by a stupid parent who can not handle money very well..
    What planet are you on were you think that borrowing money for a deposit was a good idea.
    please have a read and you will find out exactly what you need to do to get your money back as it on most pages..
    It really is about personal responsibility and a lot of you do not want to take any for the way you have acted or behaved .


    STOP GIVING YOUR BANK DETAILS TO ANYONE WHO ASKS.....
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
  • These people are the lowest form of low in my book, they prey on the vunarable with their lies & cheating.
    I approached them back at the beginning of June for a £2000 personal loan, just wish i'd have read on here first. Now some 4 months later I am still waiting for my refund of £49.50
    I have written to them on 6 occassions (all letters being sent recorded delivery) 2 letters were returned to me after they moved premises & I then obtained their contact details from the Financial Omnisbun & wrote a further 2 formal complaint letters & have still not received my money. They don't bother to even acknowledge my letters & if you do manage to get through & speak to anyone they say you'll get a call back which never happens. I was confirmed to me some 6 weeks ago when i managed to speak to someone that my letter requesting the refund had been received on 17 JUNE 2011 but they couldn't understand why it hadn't been done but I was promised it would be done that week but of course no it wasn't & when i queried it i was told "sorry we have system problems following our move" I can't even now get through on the phone to them as the number is not connecting.
    I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE EVERYONE LOOKING FOR A PERSONAL LOAN TO AVOID THESE CROOKS LIKE THE PLAGUE THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY & YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN
