Skyline direct

Options
Hi I applied for a skyline direct loan they phoned me today and said they would call tomorrow
Does this mean I'm getting the loan

Anyone had any experiences with them

  • Not yet - they probably phoned to check that the number you gave is a live number.
    Tomorrow you will be grilled by someone who will want to know why somebody is so desperate for a loan that they are prepared to pay 330% for it!
  • They said on the phone I had been approved for 150 and an agent would come my house tomorrow I thought when they done this they were giving you the loan

    Good grief, are you that desperate for £150 that you are willing to pay £7.50 a week for the next 30?

    I would try and sell some stuff or down value your mobile phone rather than signing up to these loan sharks. They will be offering you more money than you can afford to repay in a few weeks and be back about mis-selling of doorstep loans.

    It is less than a month since you had your cash advance from Vanquis on your new card

    and now you are reduced to borrowing small amounts from a doorstep lender

    You really need to address the cause of your financial problems as high interest cash borrowing from Vanquis and Skyline will only make things worse in the long term
