DODGY loan brokers!!!

  • I have read through ALL the above comments.
    I totally understand the lady who, while awaiting her
    benefits to be worked out and deposited, applied on-line
    for an apparent instalment loan.
    These loans are advertised, often generated in their
    numerous forms after a potential customer has searched
    for lending products.Youre NOT stupid in thinking from
    their ad.offering you YOUR searched for loan!
    You put in '£100 over 12 months' for example, in your
    search engine and within 5 mins you've got dozens
    of OFFERS for exactly that arrangement!!
    But in truth, they're NOT offering you anything.Theyre
    brokers such as Merlin and Rightloan4u etc.
    Thinking you are applying for the loan, you complete their form.
    They even advertise " No extra charges or fees!"
    The very last detail they ask you for after you have posted your
    Application, is your debit card details, including the security
    number.The small print then tells you that this is the
    admin charge for processing the loan, and will be debited
    from your account within the next 45/90 days.
    It varies from £49.99p to £69.99p. Whether or not you proceed
    with your loan processing, they will take the fee from your
    account within 3 days.All they provide YOU with is a bombardment
    of Loan/PDL companies, to whom you have to repeat the
    Application process all over again.
    With regards to Therightloan4u - they are not based in
    the UK. They have no licence. They are not a limited, registered
    or legitimate Company. They have a mailing only
    address in Manchester, paying a mail forwarding Company
    to forward their mail. If you email them they never give
    names or contact details. They promise to refund but delay by
    asking for bank details, IBAN numbers, etc.
    They still don't pay up. Basically it's a scam, and I have re-
    searched these 'companies' for a documentary and Fraud investigation
    for months. It's so widespread it's breath taking. People are
    being ripped off, the most vulnerable, low income
    people. The more people who complain on web sites like this,
    to the Police, Trading Standards and the Financial
    Conduct Authority - the sooner we can get rid of these
    thieves. They CAN be traced, and prosecuted and put out of
    business whether in the Philippines, Estonia, India or anywhere
    else.Try Credit Unions, your local Council or local
    Church.They CAN help you in most instances,
    especially if children are concerned. There are 1,000's
    of people bring ripped off so don't feel you're the
    only one or you are stupid.These fee sharks are clever
    and well organised and very convincing. Let's put an
    end to them!!!

    Umm although most of what you say is true, a quick search on therightloan4u says they are a registered company and have a CCL, under the parent.

    Complain to the police about what exactly ?
    Trading Standards and the Financial
    Conduct Authority - the sooner we can get rid of these
    thieves. They CAN be traced, and prosecuted and put out of
    business whether in the Philippines, Estonia, India or anywhere
    else.

    You sure the FCA take on individual cases ?

    Who would put them out of business in Philippines, Estonia or India ? The FCA nor TS have any jurisdiction there ?
    Try Credit Unions, your local Council or local
    Church.They CAN help you in most instances,
    especially if children are concerned.

    Credit unions could help if you have already been saving with them and maybe for a certyain period of time.
