    I will recommend to you not to answer a text message. You will NOT get a loan from a text message...EVER.

    I have deleted the txt message and recontacted City asking them to remove my details from there system and then the advisor hung up the call not very proffessional.

    King elvis: this wasn't for a short term loan this was for a long term loan don't get me wrong that payday loans are good well some of them but as a long term commitment loan they can't get away with this as they are ripping people off.
