confused.com by loan broker fee

My partner was charged loan broker fees by 3 separate companies, 2 of which have offered a full refund (Money Warehouse £35.99 and 1Loan/Moneygaga £39.99.) The third company, however, shows up on his bank statement as: FE FRONT END-HBL which, on googling, appears to be a bank in Pakistan who used something called a'front end payment process' to withdraw £40. Can anyone advise me on how to go about getting this refunded please? x

    What led you to a bank in Pakistan?

    If it did go to Pakistan forget about a refund, consider it money well spent for him to learn not to give out his bank card details to anyone and everyone

    You give out those details to pay for something, not to receive money
  • Thanks. I didn't think there would be much chance of reclaiming it when HBL turned out to be an Islamic banking company - I've no idea how he's managed that one. I think he's learned his lesson though lol
  • Never pay any money upfront to those sub prime loan sharkers.
    They are criminals, everyone of them.
    Avoid.

    I would advise against using them, however to call them mentioned above, unless they're unlicensed, could be seen as defamation.

  • Sorry replace "criminals" with "fraudsters".
    Ah, same thing.

    Give him a good slapping and tell him to stop sharing his card details with companies he's never heard of on the internet.
