Eighth Anniversary Combo Breaker
in Loans
Hi, has anyone heard of this company? My mum has applied for a loan through Promise Solutions and this is the company that they are using.

I can't find any reviews or anything online so thought I'd ask here.

Thanks.

    just by the name sounds like a broker
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I just looked at Equifinance, the site is typical of the "Yes Loans" template for broker scam websites.

    The T&C's link goes nowhere, nor the Sitemap links.

    Sounds like disaster is unfolding.

    It took a loook at Promise Solutions instead....

    Your Mum will know it's a scam when they ask her for their fee upfront (and don't fall for the claim that bank details are 'for verification only')!

    Equifinance are a secured loan 2nd charge lender that have recently launched. As far as i am aware they have no links to these "scam brokers" mentioned. I also believe that they can only be accessed via a finance broker, ie Promise who whilst as the other post does state they have a "fee charging" dm company side to their business, they do not charge upfront fees for sourcing a secured loan.

    Its spending you must change
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
