loans for everyone - stay clear

Hi All

Having poor credit I recently applied for a unsecured personal loan, I am now been bombarded by calls for just everyone, most of the brokers confirm a lender and want around £69.99 , which I will not pay for a loan.

However, I have just had an intresting call from a company called LOANS 4 EVERYONE

The caller 'Jenny' which i dont think is her name given her accent offered to debit 3k in my account within 20 minutes but to do this she asked me to go and get a UKash voucher for the first monthly payment of £104 and call here back with the number but I had to do this within 30 minutes so I could get the loan.

From what I understand with these vouchers there is no history its as good as cash.

I will not call them back as its a scam !! So my Advice never pay a broker fee up front and never use LOANS 4 EVERYONE

regards

kevin

    This is from their website........................

    There are lenders who are only concerned with someone's ability to pay now and in the future, and not with any problems in their past. These companies can help people who have been refused elsewhere, irrespective of their credit history.
    With more loan lenders entering the market for clients with bad credit, arrears, CCJs or other credit problems, there is more product choice for available than ever before.

    Yeah right! Although if you're talkin' payday lenders then I suppose they are being honest!!

    Notice the poor English? "there is more product choice for available than ever before"

    That gives me a mental picture of someone rushing around before the time expires, like something out of the krypton factor.

    I believe it was the alternative ending on Die Hard 3.

    It didn't research well with audiences. :(

    We had someone on here recently who had managed to muster and transfer about £800 in small chunks before realising it wasn't cosher.

    Some people simply deserve it.

    I would never deal with any company with a daft 'textspeak' name; good chance it will be shady.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
