Quidfinder is asking to send first installment upfront. Is it safe to go?

David_Ness

I was looking for a quick payday loan and came across Quidfinder. The rep is asking me for first installment upfront £120. Wondering whether it's safe? Has anyone here dealt with Quidfinder?

Don't touch them with a bargepole. They're not even a lender.

EDIT: If you've already signed up with them, then they may have already taken £67.88 from your account.

Sounds like an outright scam.

No lender asks for the first instalment to be paid upfront.

And OP if you are even considering companies like this you are going to find you get stung with many "broker fees" etc

I would suggest you spend an hour or 2 going through the last 100 threads on here and get wise to payday scams, fees etc

Don't do it, they'll take your money, then forward your details onto other brokers who'll take your money. You just have to read through these forums to realize the mess you'll end up in. The stories always end with no money loaned with hundreds lost.

Why wouldn't you just go to someone established and well known like Wonga if you're looking for a quick payday loan instead of just Googling for a random obscure lender?

If you really really really need a PDL you shouldn't pay anything upfront, LOL that sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

What is the loan for David ?

You tried your own bank ?

I wouldnt do it, you will regret doing it though and end up losing £120 or more until you get it back.

No lender will ask for a fee, what ever they say its for dont do it. Try the normal lending institutions.

If it really is short term then yes as been suggested Wonga is your best bet, just make sure you dop pay it back when you agree to do so.

If you have £120 in your bank you do not need a payday loan!

Nope

Go to a lender direct - you only have to read Martin's guide!

Paid up a Sunny loan 4 months no charges purely borrowed interest
£200 was borrowed and £275 was paid back
Received cash back and even education though their vids to lower future borrowing

Their interest over a month was pence over a £ because I tested it!!!

Very happy, it really worked, I'd recommend to anyone
Totally different position to when I first applied I'm no worse of for it and never had my details passed on! With payday finance always think of it as getting money for essentials like nappies from the DWP

Who says Wonga is the only 'ethical lender' on the market

No loan provider will want the first instalment up front, it doesn't make any sense. If you've got the money for it, you'd just borrow less. It can only be a scam.

After that there will be the release fee, then the tax fee, then the transaction fee...oh! what's the point? OP would have already done it.
