    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:

    "0843 phone numbers cost up to five pence per minute at all times and certain ranges of 0843 phone numbers are charged at 3 to 5 pence."

    So 70mins at 3ppm = £2.10 and at 5ppm = £3.50.

    Not bad for doing nothing

    I guess we can put that down to an MSE Success story :j:j:j
  • well done everyone. another loan broker bites the dust.
  • Nope, afraid not. The website is up and running (looked this morning). I did some investigation after checking their 'credentials', or lack of. I thought I would apply & see what happened. They emailed me approval (having given slightly incorrect information) and said to transfer £35 as a refundable charge to cover any admin fees associated with transferring the money. I googled the account details given on the email. The details given in the email were of a Pre-Paid Eagle Mastercard - complete with 16 digit card number as the 'customer reference'. I contacted them to notify them of what was going on and they have apparently frozen the card.
