Peachy Loans - AVOID Lender Tries To Trick You Into More Debt
Options
I recently applied for a £50 loan from Peachy Loans online.
After a long wait I was told they had found an alternative provider (quick quid) and I was diverted to a page where my loan amount had mysteriously been increased to £350 and with one click I would be signed up & locked in.
Im pretty disgusted at this tactic! I would advise everyone to avoid Peachy at all costs they are underhand.

Why not avoid loans altogether?
Our do you think borrowing a paltry 50 pounds at a huge interest rate is in some way acceptable?0 -
Same happened to me, I got declined by these to for £50 and £6 interest for 15 days and told by one of the many brokers who have since hurranged me that it's partly because this lender is deemed a broker themselves...
Same happened when pulled through to application I noticed asked for amount was then increased although wouldn't have stopped the decline, anyway I gave up experimenting quite quickly and went back to an old faithful but direct lender, getting a more varible repayment when there are 4 times someone may need to borrow, there is not always a bank for everyone though no doubt them with constant overdrafts are better thought of I bet, after all you repay one of these loans the only good thing is you may be helped next time...0 -
