Loans2go text offer

JamesSplott

Hi, I received a text message from loans2go today offering to reduce my balance by 75% if I settle my account this month. I was elated! The message stated my current balance and the amount I would need to repay by 30th Sept. It told me exactly how much I would save and instructed me to show their text message in branch. It advised me the offer was time limited and ends on 30.09.14. Now I have received a message saying that this was not intended for me and was an error - despite containing details of my current logbook loan - and I should disregard it. I suspect there is nothing I can do, but come someone please confirm if once the offer is made they can just withdraw and there is nothing I can do about it? Many thanks

Of course they can withdraw it. Companies, like people, make mistakes.

Until both sides sign on the dotted line (or the online equivalent) either side can back out of anything.

I too got the message.
Dear my first name,
this is a once in a life time offer. 75% wiped off my uotstanding balance IF I paid so much by the end of month!
I was elated!:rotfl:
I started making plans to get a loan somewhere to settle this debt.

Only for them to send another email saying it was a server error!!!:mad:

Have I got any grounds to stand on?
Supposing I claim I never recieved the subsequent text?

There must be a legal way out here! Help

The same grounds as the OP. The offer doesn't apply to you. It was sent in error.

You'd be lying and it wouldn't make any difference.

Why must there be?

Yes, there is. It's that you haven't got a leg to stand on.

Haven't you read the previous posts which tell you?

The two texts were sometime apart.
The first at 13.38pm
and the second that withdrew the offer was at 13.58

In 20 minutes one could have paid the amount offered!
Or would have borrowed from somewhere else in readiness to pay!

Cmmon, there must be a leg here to stand on!

You took out the loan and have debt. Pay it.

Well, did you?

If not, then you are legless!

Why? You haven't lost anything. You have only been mildly inconvenienced. The whole country needs to set itself free from this wretched compensation culture.
