Hi all, I recently had 49.50 taken out of my account from these so called people!!! i was furious as i could not recall signing any forms! I rang them up on their so called customer helpline and spoke to a lady with a asian or indian accent!! I told her i was not happy as they took money out of my account and i wanted it back. She told me to get a bank statement and highlight where star loans had took the money out and send it to their so called address with a short note saying you want a refund. I have done that today so lets see if they give me my refund back. She said i would receive it through the post as a cheque. :mad::(

I would hazard a guess that you have been looking for loans and randomly entering your debit card details on sites that asked for it.
You might get lucky and they may refund you - or they could argue that you agreed to them taking the money.0 -
You must have entered your bank details in somewhere for this to happen.Trainee Building Surveyor

What an odd thing to do. If I spotted an unauthorised transaction on my statement I'd contact my bank and expect them to refund it.
I certainly wouldn't waste my time faffing around as you have.0 -
I bet you the sum of £49.50 that you have done the two things....
1. You have entered your bank details into a 'loan site' somewhere
2. You have checked the box that agrees with their T&C's (which probably say they are a loan broker and charge the fee)
Have you?0 -

Another interesting snippet nobody bothers reading
Please Note:We are not the lenders; we assist people to find a lender.
