Beware of Welcome Finance.
I want to share my experience with you so that you benefit from the information.
These lizards keep messaging me that I have been accepted for a loan (haven't even bloody applied after November...) and that I need to call them ASAP. well after the 5th message I did.
Firstly, they dont tell you their names, most disgraceful, I personally hate that the most... I asked the guy to remove me from the list. He started to explain how I got on the list. Talked for 5 minutes, I had enough, I said I wasnt interested about HOW I got on the list I just want to be removed. Things got really hot and loud, I lost my temper too, because he kept on interrupting me and talked to me with obviosu disrespect. Then he hung up on me.
I called back (of bloody course.) Got through to a lady called Sally. Did not interrupt me, let me finish what I want them put me on hold for ten minutes. On a 0845 number. Then another guy picked up to whom I had to explain the whole thing all over again. Refused to help. Refused to remove me. Offered I am welcome to contact the financial ombudsman. Talked offensively about my debt (which he cant even know about , but I suppose they know that all whose details been passed on to them have debt... anyhow).
But then at least these guy told me that the fact that I called back, automatically verified my number = encouraged the system to throw my number in the automated message-out list more often!! I was appauled. He said he cant remove me, I have to stop applying for loans. I said I stopped two months ago. He was "soo sorry" but he couldnt help.
So warning: dont ever, ever, EVER call any of these soul sucking loan broker companies because then your phone number will be thrown into an endless bowl of unsuspicious people's numbers and you will get these !!!!!! 45% loan plus £50 one-off fee offers all day.
I got three since hanging up with them which was about two hours ago.
:mad:
Anyone else had experience with them??

Yes I have had a loan with them and had not problems or issues at all. Whenever I phoned they were really helpful.
