Something seems dodgy about this?

It seems impossible that this could be offered in this day and age
I don't think it can any longer. Lenders were lending very irresponsibly throughout the 2000s and Labour did nothing about it because it made the economy look good and gave people a happy feeling so they let it run. Hell my FIL got £120k of borrowing and he was 60 years old and had spent 2 decades living on disability benefits. You can guess how that turned out.
Things have tightened up immeasurably and I doubt this kind of thing would be allowed or if it did happen there would be ramifications down the line like the PPI scandal.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
