    Interested to know how Pink Cat managed to find nbsloans.

    Assuming it is these guys http://www.nbsloans.com/
    Website created 5 days ago! http://whois.domaintools.com/nbsloans.com
    Registrant using an aol.co.uk address
    No Terms and Conditions at all on the Website

    They use the Company No. 06605288 but that appears to belong to an NBS Fleet Audi Hire Company http://www.hireaudi.com/rs5-white/

    NBS appears to share the same VAT number as http://www.kwikpayday.co.uk/terms_conditions.html
    Once a client enters into an agreement with us and accepts our terms and conditions, we act as the client’s broker for a period of 6 months.

    I will be a typical broker who delivers the usual shizzle and takes money from people who can't afford it.

    How can it be only created 5 days ago,when it clearly says on it's website that -

    "Denise is from Leeds and has been a customer for a number of years."

    Are you suggesting that there maybe an element of skullduggery afoot ?

    Their Consumer Credit License seems to belong to Paydayexpress too.

    Still, at least Denise from Leeds is a happy customer lol :laugh: :laugh:


    EDIT: I always wondered how much a Consumer Credit License is. Seems it is £480 for a Sole Trader.
    Wouldn't take long to recoup that with a bunch of £70 broker fees

  • I'm looking for an unsecured loan and was asked to enter my account number and sort code at the end of an application with NBS. Before i did this I rang their contact number to investigate a bit further.

    I was on the phone for an hour and 10 mins before I hung up.

    Cut a long story short if you add that to the facts already highlighted above this, the word Scam comes to mind.

    Avoid like the plague!!!:mad:
  • thanks everyone, came across them just the other day - wondered why I hadn't seem them before
