    People collect these scummy loans like I used to collect football stickers and animal fact files.

    Is this a troll thread, I don't think there are actually 12 payday lenders out there that actually lend money rather than try and sell you a "membership" to obtain loans

    Quickquid
    Wonga
    Unclebuck
    Mini Credit
    Micro Credit
    safe Loans
    Pounds2Payday
    Toothfairy finance
    Speedy Loans
    Txt a loan
    Payday UK
    Payday Express

    Wow I was wrong, it looks like you have the full set.


    There's more, Wage Day advance etc etc.

    If you cannot borrow the amount then yes its your only course of action here, do not use anyone other than the 2 charity dmp's though, and make sure you close the account pronto or they will start trying to take the money out.

    Just to confirm what are the two charity DMPs?

    I am not sure as they need to ask whoever you owe the money to, so basicaly no guarantee of interest being frozen.

    Although neither company charge CCCS are the actual charity. PayPlan are a Ltd company and also don't charge for DMP's but sometimes try to sell you other products - which you are under no obligation or pressure to buy.

    Nobody can guarantee that a creditor will agree to freeze interest. All DMP companies/charities etc will ask the creditor to freeze interest but non can force them to do so.
