Look like many of these guys around

It seems there are quite a few people who are being stung by these scams and such likes, sign of the times I guess. People being desperate for money and would even give money (like £79 or whatever) to get a grand or so plus the ridiculously high interest. Same with pay day loans... scary times really! xxx

Oh, sorry ZX81 i didn't know if you meant write to them or like the FSA or something. And I just need to ask for my money back and to withdraw the application?

Yes. Just keep it short and to the point. ie I paid a fee on x date, I don't want this service, I'm cancelling, please return my money immediately. And date the letter and preferably send it recorded delivery.

No angry faces, made up legal phrases or empty threats of legal action. Don't write in green pen and don't use mulitiple exclamation marks.

Good luck.

Hehe ok I will make sure none of these are included in my letter. :mad:

The rate was actually pretty good that was quoted lol I've just had the paper work through for it now which I didn't think i'd get. They're convincing I'll tell you that.

Thanks

The fact you have to pay a fee first should be ringing big loud **** off sirens flashing red(for danger) to tell you it must be a con.

So despite the excellent advice given to you on this website you stupidly went ahead with a 'loan application' anyway. Frankly, you deserve to lose the fee - might teach you a valuable lesson.

Linky to previous thread...

You kind of wonder what the point in replying to threads is when the poster goes ahead and applies anyway.

Alright thanks for all the abuse! I thought this site was meant to help. Yes I get that I was stupid applying with these con artists, I was in need of dyer help and I applied before researching. They didn't explain the fee to me until the last minute.
Maybe don't bother replying to the thread if you don't like what's been put.

Thanks everyone else for your help.

You were given advice in the other thread so why disregard that advice, so do you think it was a waste of time for those who replied to the other thread.

Awesome thread
Jeez I'd never trust a domain with three hypens in it, never mind the '4'

And absolutely genius how OP was warned before and went ahead. Love it.

Also love how they put "I need to know if bad-credit-loans-4-you.co.uk are a legitimate company??" but the thread title is 'loan con artists'
LMFAO

Let those of you without sin cast the first stone.....

Jessie was desperate and desperate people do desperate things, sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees however well meaning any advice given is. Don't be too hard on yourself Jessie Lou, but do try and learn from it. You have my sympathy, even if you have no one elses.
