    Hmmm, a bit confusing.

    It appears you were called back by "Cash Finance Direct Limited, trading as Horizon Finance". There's some info at http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01158242559.

    IIRC they were on Watchdog a while ago.

    Cash Finance Direct limited have actually posted on that page - so you could try contacting them -
    If you have any other queries or would like any further help, please contact our Customer Services department on our freephone number 0800 195 1980 (calls are free of charge from a BT landline number) or via email to customerservices@horizonfinance.co.uk

    £200 does not go far with kids and bills my friend, but thanks for the comment and reading my post.:D

    Agree I can easily spend £200 in a weekend with meals out etc even more if I'm going to the football.

    If you've got it then fine, your choice, as in the OPs case, if you haven't then don't.

    Cancelling the card might not stop them taking money.

    You need to check your account daily for a month or so to see if they take more.

    They get away with it because even though their terms and tactics are terrible, People still keep contacting them.

    You said they were abrupt and it sounded fishy yet continued.

    Who said anything about weekend bills. I said bills, they are more than that, but in any event, this thread is not about my personal finances or how I spend money, it is about Cash Finance Direct and their premium rate telephone scam.
