Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could advise me of legit payday lenders other than :-
Wonga
Quickquid
PaydayUk
Googling this brings up lots of sites I don't trust and many are brokers, I wondered if the good people on this site know of any other actual companies such as the above?
Kind regards
Neo
Wonga
Quickquid

Why would you want to use any of these companies, let alone lots of them?0

There are lots of them out there - a trawl through this site will find people who have had loans with several of them all at once. However if you really are in that sort of mess now, taking out multiple payday loans is likely to make things as awful lot worse. Unless you know for certain (100% certain, not just hope!) that you have a lot of money coming in to pay them on time, AND there is no way you can get through without, then please don't do it. Don't become another statistic![STRIKE]Vanquis £2994.71[/STRIKE] [STRIKE] Aqua £1941.13[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Capital One £970.77[/STRIKE]

So basically you've run out of luck with the 3 most "legitimate" of the bad bunch and are now so desperate that you will try anyone.
I'll give it a week before you're back complaining you've been scammed.0 -

It would not be responsible advice to help someone repeatedly resort to PDLs.
(especially as your previous post about Wonga said "I am never going down this road again and advise against borrowing off these people" - take your own advice.)loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0 -
I think eightiesneo should try a few brokers. It might help balance the books.0

You said in October (after you'd paid off Wonga)
"I am never going down this road again and advise against borrowing off these people."

Take your own advice, please.
Head over to the debt-free board and post up your statement of affairs. They can help you reduce your outgoings so you actually live within your means.0 -

This would rather back up the not able to get a loan from the big three comments posted earlier by others.
In October they were in a payment plan with Wonga, so in the subsequent 6 month they've probably ended up in the same situation with the other 2.
Definitely look like they are living way beyond their means and a trip to the DFW board is their best solution.0 -

You might be better off looking at your finances OP. Would you have enough at the end of the month to keep up with the monthly repayments ?0

I wouldn't want to be taking any payday loan currently if reading a PDL site can be hijacked! just how safe would your info be? is it worth it?0
