I came across these by chance, they are rather idiotic!

A phone smashed when it fell a short distance on a carpet? Which idiot left it there in the first place? Why couldn't you just be honest with her I'm sure she would have appreciated it more than you applying for a payday loan with huge APR...

I'm sure the 50% saving you made on your unnecessary purchase will be wiped out by the interest payable on your £250!

If you're already down to £100 in your Internet Banking and need £50 of that until payday, how can you afford a £300 ticket (which may be a scam being on eBay anyway) for some music festival?!

If I had £250 I wouldn't need to make myself look like a fool sending a competition entry to your company (Although why do I get the feeling these videos are all made by workers of the company...)

These are getting more ridiculous by the minute! He had time to log on, apply for a loan, get the loan paid, arrange a cleaner, nip down to the ATM all before his parents got home? Compared to a few more minutes of scrubbing?!

Err...How about selling some of your rubber ducks instead to raise £250 rather than getting yourself into debt!

I'm sure it was the front of the mind of the millions of people who got stuck due to the Icelandic cloud disruption to get to the nearest Internet cafe to apply for a payday loan for some expensive extra spending money for their unexpected holiday extension rather than worrying about getting home...

Righttt...and when you get off the flight how are you gonna pay for food / pints / accomodation? Magic beans?

I dread to think who the winner of the competition was, I really do.

So many things wrong with this video! Firstly, a company wouldn't just change the pay policy at the click of their fingers, they would give at least a months notice to prevent such scenarios. Secondly, my bank at least offer the facility to apply for overdrafts online! And if you're getting declined for an overdraft for the sort of amount this company would offer, it seems a good sign you're financials are in trouble to begin with!
