Stop the worry

Well you have their website, such as it is

Comp Reg No 5987727

Consumer Credit License no 595068

You may know better how to search on these sites. Keep me informed of findings if you don't mind. I have to log off now so I'll try and get back on tomorrow to view your thoughts.

Thanks again guys

I'm trying to find the Consumer Credit Licence register now to check that one.

It seems you can't search the register online. You have to ring the OFT on The Consumer Credit Public Register is maintained by the OFT. The OFT site says "The register documents traders that hold a licence and any action taken against them. It also details traders that have applied for a licence. Enquiries can be made to Consumer Credit Licensing on 020 7211 8608."

The direct.gov site says "The Consumer Credit Public Register lists everyone with an OFT licence as well as everyone who has applied for one or has had one taken away or suspended. It's free to get basic information from the register, including trading names and the activities for which a business is licensed.To search the public register, telephone 020 7211 8608 between 9.30am and 4pm Monday to Friday. If a lender isn't listed as having a current licence, don't borrow money from them."

I still wouldn't get involved with them though. Something doesn't feel right about it, & it's not just the amount of money being talked about either.

Pond life like this make me sick to my stomach, profiting out of other's misery! Hop over to the bankruptcy board, there are loads of people there who have been through this and will guide you every step of the way. Don't pay anyone a penny for this. I can't see how the OR would let this happen anyway, that's 3k which could have gone to your creditors.
