pay day loans?

hi guys.

i don't have great credit, and i'm after a pay day loan.

I've come accross 4 websites that will accept me but don't know who to go with;

- cashgenie.com
- 247payday.net
- yes loans
- unckle-buck.co.uk

Cashgenie.com offered me £200.00 but high interest rate, read some bad things about them online too.

247payday.net offered me £450.00 interest rate is the lowest, but did some research and can't find much about the company.

Yes loans offered me £1,000 but I don't need that much. but they said their interest rates are good.

Unluckbuck offered me £150.00 to pay back 240.00

i don't know what to do, is there any other borrowers that have good/low interest rates.

thanky ou in advance

    My right nut says they meant no such thing. They have offered to try to get you a loan for £1,000 if you pay them £69 first.
    They will then send your details onto Indian Loan Scammers and bottom feeders.

    Two things will happen;
    1. You will lose £69 and feel stupid
    2. You will lose the £69 and then another £600 or so and BE Stupid.


    Top marks for posting first, you have saved yourself £69 already (unless you have given Yes Loans your account details already).



    The interest rate is not particularly relevant for a PDL. You see what you borrow and you see how much you will repay...simple.

    The Interest rate is only relevant if you have the same hiccup thousands of people have by sheer chance, an unavoidable change of circumstances within the few days between grabbing and spending the cash, and repaying it.

    Only you know if you are going to repay it or not, you already know if you can now, if you are in ANY doubt at all, STOP going down this pitiful route before you end up deeep in the brown stuff.


    Uncle Buck looks crap - No Terms and Conditions - Registered as a Sole Trader - Avoid this one.

    247payday.net is simply hilarious - the site wants all your personal details on an unsecured page, woeful terms, site registration all in the USA, Creation date 15 June 2011

    cashgenie.com?? Are you for real?? I'm not even going to look into that one!!

    If you are going to payback, all are fine its when you cant they turn nasty. PAYDAY UK are not bad, go via quidco and its even cheaper as they give about £40 cashback
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Why not just try the usual, bottom of the barrel outfits like Wonga?

    Yeah I heard, dunno if it's true, that one of Wonga's Directors BMW's is running low on fuel.

    How terrible is that! better apply for a loan to help out.

    It runs on pure Pom Perignon 72 so I've heard :rotfl:

    He also had his sh*thouse modified to dispense £20 notes as paper, every roll has a customers face especially printed on each sheet so he can wipe his butt on them just one more time.
