Savvy Benefits Card scam

2 things
lenders dont see your credit score, they see your history.
Why only £200, surely there were other options than a loan broker.
Oh and dont enter your card details on a loan brokers website.0 -
I don't see how it's any of your business why £200 and if she had any other means, that's just plain rude0

Thankyou for the email address
I had £34.98 Taken out of my account. Under the name Savvy cards. I emailed them to the effect a third party deducted that money without my permission. In two days I had the money refunded.
At the same time I had another amount £34.99 under the name YESSAL. I cant find any company off that name ,but suspect its connected to Savvy cards ,has anyone heard of this name
Any help appreciated

I browse lots of websites.
None of them get my credit card details until I'm ready to do business with them.
Have I misunderstood how these websites mentioned here work?0 -
Some people shouldn't be using the internet. For goodness sake READ and understand what you are signing up to.0

I've just had a look at the Savvy Benefits Card website.
On the Home page, if you scroll down it very clearly states:
I'm not sure how the OP (back in Feb 2019) got to this website after applying for a loan.Interested in becoming a member?
You can with a one off sign up fee of £34.99 and a monthly recurring billing amount of £19.99
Pop in your details and you can get started right away.
I'd never enter my bank and card details when applying for anything.
TBH, if I read the words 'membership' on any website, I'd be running for the hills (with my undisclosed financial details firmly in my pocket).0 -
Hi Yes2333323 or what ever is another scam the yes catalogue in association with savvy billed my card months after browsing .
Sorry but that can not happen.
Can you explain how your card would get charged IF all you did was browse the website ?
Did you by any chance enter your card details ?
Did you buy anything ?0
