Has Anyone Dealt With Care 4 Finance

Comments

  • I really am not encouraging anyone to join Care 4 Finance, I just thought someone would have experienced this company. I don't think that losing £100 is that much of a big deal. I'll check out the DFW board for more info.

    I wouldn't even go near that Care 4 finance.

    Save your £100 and use it to put towards your debt.

    This has got to be a wind-up! You need to borrow money so badly that you're prepared to use these thieves, yet £100 means nothing to you?

    Who's the mug who agreed to guarantee your loan from amigo?
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
  • Has anybody ever told you that the idea of going to a loan company for a loan means, at the beginning - they give YOU money, not you giving them money.

    IT IS A SCAM. If in doubt, repeat 'It is a scam' 100 times every five minutes until it sinks in.

    Care 4 Finance is an obvious scam.

    Their website is full of weirdly phrased sentences.

    The two postal address given are mail-drop offices.

    Their company number and consumer credit licence number just happen to be the same: 671064. As a company number it's not assigned; as a consumer credit licence number it's assigned to a different company.

    The mixed up language on the site mentions they lend money, then goes on to discuss guarantor loans.

    This website also claims it's owned by a pay day loan broker called TIDEYOUOVER LTD.
    This website https://www.care4finance.com ("Website'') is owned and provided by TIDEYOUOVER LTD.

    References to "you" and "your" in these Terms of Use are to a person who accesses and or uses the Website. References to "we" and "us" in these Terms of Use are to Care 4 Finance Limited.

    Care 4 Finance Limited is a company registered in the UK, Reg. No: 671064

    Reg. Address: Name& Registered Office: Ebenezer house 6a poole road Bournemouth Dorset BH2 5QJ

    Consumer Credit License Number 671064

    The sham company has an 0800 (and here) number. Lots of unhappy customers.

    Google suggests the number may have been used to offer scam IT technical support in the past.
  • Keep clear of these, last week I stupidly gave them an initial £160.00 then they asked for a further £250.00 its a scam also today Buyyourloans contacted me with the same offer
  • Did anyone actually get a loan payout with care 4 finance after paying the £100 PPL as I'm having dealings with them at the moment but then saw this thread so haven't gone ahead with it yet I mad them awear of my concerns they have to reassure me they are a proper company but being a single mum in benefit can not afford to lay out £100 for a loan I may not be payed, so to the gentleman that payed them £160 then was asked for more did u ever get the loan payout .

    No legit loan company is ever going to ask for any money upfront.

    If you use a legit broker (Normally for a large secured loan) there may be an arrangement fee/valuation fee payable, but this is taken out of the loan unless you specifically offer to pay it upfront.
    The instructions on the box said 'Requires Windows 7 or better'. So I installed LINUX :D:D

    Steer well clear, Anna, and well done for not going ahead with this. No legitimate loan company asks for payments up front, except in very specific circumstances such as mentioned by Gambler101. If you fall for this you will not see your money again and there will be no loan.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
