    I am a director of WFI and I feel that all charges applied are fair and just.... if however, you do have any complaints please feel free to write them down and file in the brabantia in the corner of the kitchen.


    I am not sure that is possible , extensive research over the years has shown that only the directors of WFI are capable of operating Kitchen Brabantias , ( and for that matter Brabantias placed in any other room , bathroom ones being particularly hard for non directors to find )

    Being an operative of OH loans (GF division) I can state for a fact that failure to pay (or 'stick a ring on it') will result in your assets being stripped then slashed.

    Perhaps.

    It rather makes me wonder what attracts these gents to these loan companies and agents.

    It is possible in times of austerity to avoid this terrible consequence if at the time of taking the loan you were smart enough to take PPI (Penis Protection Insurance).

    I'd heard this was riddled with get out clauses and loopholes.

    And "sticking a ring on it" doesn't always work either, as it seems that the ring needs to be of quite significant value, much more than the initial loan to settle this debt...................

    As to how these agents operate - well it tends to be in packs, in locations with alcohol being served, and they use honeytrap techniques to lure you in and then exploit their lending potential when your in a moment of weakness, generally after stripping you of any accumulated assets you had in reserve!
  • You all seems to be forgetting the benefits of this type on loan, everything is on offer, plus you have unlimited use of all the facilities, at the drop of a trousers. Cooking and cleaning has also been thrown in as an optional extra. And we do provide headache pills on request.

    Generous access to our hidden in-house assets and a more than reasonable rate of return.

    ... Unless previously agreed 'flowers, chocolates and jewelry' deposits are not maintained.

    Although I accept your argument here, it is a widely known fact that should a director need to operate the Brabantia after repeated requests for said non director to, it will only lead to fees and interests being incurred onto the original loan, thus making the minimum payments increase further.

    As for the PPI insurance - not worth the paper it is written on... ;)

    Am also an operative of OH loans, and I can quite categorically state that too many loan requests made may result in dire consequences.

    Also it is strictly forbidden to complain about usage of any repayments.

    Loan requests may only be made at certain times of the month, requests made at any other time may result in violence.

    Defaulting will mean permanent withdrawal of further credit facilities and withdrawal of priviledges ;)

    Other payment methods will be considered. (I accept Clubcard vouchers ;))

    Thank you for your custom. :)

    I think it's the OP's own fault for not checking the T&Cs...

    But I also think that there's a 'system' where those who are already struggling with WFI loans DON'T tell those who have not yet succumbed to this form of finance EXACTLY what's involved. I think those users who have already availed themselves of WFI (and associated companies) are duty bound to pass on the message about these companies. Maybe someone should alert Martin to this problem?

    Mind you I might JUST be 'bitter' because I have had not one but TWO defaulters!
