I applied online for a loan with Wentworth Direct a couple of weeks ago. I heard nothing until I received a letter yesterday asking for a 'broker's processing fee' of £59. Further on in the letter it stated that "loan documents will be sent out if the credit agreement is arranged through the lenders". Since yesterday, I have received numerous calls saying the loan "is now in place" (their favourite quote) and quite ambiguous. I called up three times to speak to different people and they were more concerned with taking my card details than trying to reassure me that they're above-board. I spoke to one girl who, once I explained that I was recording the call, hung up on me. They are DESPERATE for your money, so don't bother. After three different conversations, I really wanted to know whey they hadn't even asked for any ID or payslips and they said that once the paperwork had been signed they would ask for all that. Strange that isn't it! Any other application I've made for anything in my life has always required your ID up front. I then received a call from a woman who tried to sound authoritative, but she failed miserably as when challenged on this whole situation, she was deliberately as vague as everyone else. STEER WELL CLEAR

Over the past couple of days, as I too have recieved a letter from Wentworth, I have done a huge amount of research and I've yet to read any positive comment regarding Wentworth. When you type the name into Google it comes up with "Scam" any company, when typed into Google" should not (you would like to think) be proceeded with "scam" at the end!

These guys are a bunch of wasters. Con men.
Do not go anywhere near them. Got a call from them this morning (been out looking for a loan online). I was in a rush and on the mobile. They said they had approved me and just need the £59 admin fee. Foolish, yet being in a rush I gave me card details. Only when I had a chance to sit down and think about it...it all came to light. They I searched on the internet and what do you know, found this site amoung many others with many bad stories.
I tried to call them back, but of course none of the numbers work. So I went off to my bank this afternoon and cleared the account out. I am sure they will call me back quick enough when they try get their £59 and cannot. Looking forward to their call :-)
Also there are a few other companies like this around, Yes Finance being another. Stay well clear.

I am also positive that any good comments you see about them are sent via employees...

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY...

I applied for a loan through them and I was told the loan was approved at an APR of 15.2%. I had to pay £59.00 as a 'Broker's Fee' and then found a few days later a letter and application form from Ralph Marlon Loans... What I did not realise previously was that RML were another BROKER... I did get a loan offer from a company called FLM (who I believe are part of the WDF family) at a variable APR OF 53%...

I have tried to call them on NUMEROUS occasions on an 0844 number and am ALWAYS placed 20 plus in the call queue and hours later I have not moved much more than position 15 or 16!!!

I have requested my broker's fee back and have promised to take the matter further if they do not comply...

IF I CAN SAVE ANYONE ELSE THIS HASSLE, I HAVE DONE SOMETHING AT LEAST... DO NOT ENTERTAIN WENTWORTH DIRECT FINANCE...

Hi, my name is Roger Ripoff and I am the owner of Roger Ripoff's Finance. If you send me £30 ( that's cheaper than anyone else) I will check if you are eligible to apply for a loan. I will then search all of our many many clients to find you the best deal I can.

Do you trust me? EVERYONE is eligible to apply for a loan...just that age, credit status, employed/unemployed may decide whether you get it or not. The many clients I use will also include Provident etc who will then charge you 200% interest and that's if i can be bothered ..the best deal I can.....but hey...I never lied.
