Updraft Loan
May have the opportunity to obtain an UPDRAFT Personal Loan which would enable me to clear all my Credit Cards and the horrendous interest charges that go with them.
UPDRAFT have a Trust Pilot rating of 4.9 out of 5 and the reviews are very good. I have completed the various stages of the application without a problem, however to fully complete and verify my application prior to making an offer they require me to link my Bank Account so they can access and confirm I am who I am and confirm my outgoings etc.
To do this I have to input my bank login details.....is this advisable? They are regulated with the FCA

Bank login in details - ok, login plus password, no way Jose.

They just ask for a link to open banking. No issues with this (except giving away details you may not want to). Used them before, they are fine, not the cheapest that they like to claim, communication is slow from them but if getting the loan helps then go for it.1

Much better idea for you, have a wander over to the DFW board, and we can advise on shifting the debt without further consolidation loans, which incidentally never tend to work out how you envisage.mick15 said:May have the opportunity to obtain an UPDRAFT Personal Loan which would enable me to clear all my Credit Cards and the horrendous interest charges that go with them.

I see these people advertising on youtube (no idea why but then again YT has a weird mix of adverts for me like help to buy loans which I am too old for!) and it's just consolidation nonsense sold like Ocean Finance back in the day for people to get spare cash by signing their money away for years and years

People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Yeah it's heavily marketed on social media and is no different to any other consolidation loan. Their app is easy to navigate so they appeal to people that way and market themselves on being cheaper than other credit cards and overdrafts. Whilst potentially true, it's no different to other providers. They have a high acceptance rate but you pay for that through it's rates.Nasqueron said:I see these people advertising on youtube (no idea why but then again YT has a weird mix of adverts for me like help to buy loans which I am too old for!) and it's just consolidation nonsense sold like Ocean Finance back in the day for people to get spare cash by signing their money away for years and years1 -
Their rates may high but not as high as some some credit cards0

If you want to use them, then apply, just a warning they're not good value and borrowing to pay debt is never a good idea unless you can address the underlying reasons why you got into debt and avoid getting back into debtmick15 said:Their rates may high but not as high as some some credit cardsSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
