We do not deal with loan sharks.

You do sell your data to up-front fee charging loan brokerages like UCC who, under the trading name of QDL (Quick Decision Loans) will charge your customers £59.99 for the pleasure of credit checking them multiple times and end up recommending a payday lender who offer tiny loans at 2000%+ APRs, a "service" which your customers could quite easily have done for themselves using Google.

Do us a favour and don't come on this forum and try to defend the indefensible. At least have some conviction for your profiteering and the shameless raping of your customer base.

This may be of some interest:

Here at Strawberry we like to think of ourselves as specialists in our field with good, friendly and honest advice for all our customers. One of our specialities is in trading consumer data. Keen to build and maintain strong relationships, we have close links with many major list providers within the direct marketing industry, something we are very proud of.

In other words, it's a Spamhaus.

Experian needs a long hard look at itself as i find the practice of passing information on for profit at the lower end of the market very squalid and on a level with the loan sharks.
I am sure that is a level they do not wish to be associated with but are, due to the way they are operating....
A bad name sticks for a very very long time and it looks like experian are walking down that path. To ruin a good name is the worst thing a business can do.

Stop whinging all of you its pathetic, you've applied to a sub prime credit card and GOT Refused. You've then get passed to an even lower sub prime finance broker, they're not loan sharks but provide a finance service to the bottom rung of the credit ladder. You are obvioulsy on this bottom rung.These brokers offer payday loans AND longer term unsecured loans to people who have been exclued form the main stream credit market. If people like you had repaid their credit correctly and on time, you and the credit market would not be in state they are in. But hey its always someone elses fault isnt it

Have you even bothered to read the thread or is that something that you find difficult?
