Everyday loans

Hi.
I applied for a loan this week from the above company. They have offered me 2.5k loan, but an interest rate of 71%.

I believe I have got 14 days to cancel, but would appreciate your thoughts on the company and the loan

Cheers
Mel

    Cancel cancel cancel. no need to discuss the company, just cancel.

    I also think you should cancel.

    From their site...

    "Everyday Loans Limited acts as a credit broker and only introduces to Everyday Lending Limited and one other carefully selected credit broker."

    You may find a broker fee being debited from your account if you have input your bank account or debit card details.

    Mel, whatever your situation may be, I can recommend https://www.stepchange.org - they are kind, patient and helpful, and 100% non-judgemental.


    Do cancel the loan if you can. No-one deserves to be stung by a 71% loan rate.


    Good luck to you - hope all turns out well. x

    Misleading.

    http://www.everyday-loans.co.uk/:
    Need a loan?

    We offer unsecured personal loans up to £12,500 for almost any purpose. You do not have to be a homeowner, we offer loans to tenants too. We won't charge you a fee to consider your application. We'll give you a conditional decision in minutes. We are a direct lender, we lend you the money.

    And, again, further down the page:
    We are a direct lender, we lend you the money.

    Then:
    Everyday Loans Limited acts as a credit broker and only introduces to Everyday Lending Limited and one other carefully selected credit broker. Everyday Loans Limited may receive a payment or other benefit from the credit broker it introduces to.

    So, despite what's mentioned earlier, Everyday Loans is a broker who introduces punters to a sister company or palms them off on to another broker.
  • Hi. This credit broker fee, how much would I likely be charged, but don't worry money going back. Assuming all I need to do is email them and say I wish to cancel. - but will I incur any charges

    If they are indeed a broker, they would have already taken about 70 from you.

    don't email for a refund, it isn't that simple..write a letter and post it to them.

    if they are a lender, phone them, email them AND write a letter to them saying you wish to cancel.
