My husband has a bad credit rating and we've been trying to get a consolidation loan for ages. We've found a company that says he been accepted to recieve a loan. Thy're called Yes loans. We called them up for more details and theysaythey are a broker and the final decision lies with the lender. They've also asked for an admin fee of £49.50 and then they will forward the details to the actual lender who will give us the loan or not. What do you think the chances are of getting the loan?

    DON'T DO IT.
    I did and didn't get anywhere with them. I did get my money back though as they aren't allowed to charge you more than £5. Check out trading standards.
