    I have applied to lots of companies for a unsecured loan, i have bad credit but can afford the payments, and was contacted by someone from 48hr finance, who said that they could definately get me a loan of 5,000.
    I was told on tuesday to send 250 for the first months instalment to an address in india, by moneygram at the post office. I was told that after i had done this and they confirmed that it had been sent, a representative would call at my home with the credit agreements and the money, an appointment was made for 12pm, no-one came, at 3pm they called me back and said we called you what happened, I said no-way i have been in all afternoon waiting sat by the phone and no-one has called, he said it will cost you 100.00 to get the representative to re-visit you, this again had to be paid by moneygram to india. After doing this i was then told by a supervisor who rang me from 48hr finance that, the last payment of 50.00 had to be paid for the tax, then the appointment would be made and a representative would call, i was really cross, but was told that if i didnt send the money the other money that i already sent would be lost i was also told that i would get back the previous 100.00 for the re-visit by the representative, so like a complete moron i sent another 50.00, he never rang back, that was at 2.30 on friday7th, i have phoned there offices on 0203 239 2276 and left several messages they promise to get the guy who was dealing with my loan to ring me so far he has not rung.
    Some people may think that i deserve to lose my money for being so gullible but when some one says that they can help you when everybody else has said no you get a little desperate.
    I think that i have lost all my money and am now worse off than i was before.
    Caller: british finance from 48 hr finance

  • ^^ If you send me a bank transfer of £250 I will sort this all out for you.

    Seriously, turn you PC off and make sure an adult is always with you.

    someone reassure me this is a troll post!!!!

    Did you know that Gullible is not a recognised word in the Oxford English Dictionary??


    In all seriousness though why on earth do people think they need to make upfront payments for loans? Surely the idea is for them to give you money and not the other way around, if anything I would expect any broker to take their fees out of the actual loan or place their interest on top of whatever money you are borrowing.

    Yes, I'm afraid so. It is truly said that a fool and his money are soon parted, but is is very sad when this sort of thing happens to people who are already vulnerable. Never, ever pay any sort of upfront fee for a loan, and especially not by moneygram to someone in India!
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    hi I have also had a call from 'British Fiance' AKA 48hr finance yesterday about 6.15pm Inever applied to this company for a loan however they said I had been accepted for a 2000 loan and that a rep would come to my house today in the evening, they also said that NO upfront fees would be asked for. They gave me this number for customer services 02032392276 this number belongs to a very nice man who has nothing to do with 48hr they also gave me 02030264127 on this number a man called 'Charlie' said that my loan would be transferred to my account if I were to pay the first 75 installment via a money gram after reading this forum I told him that they were robbers lairs fraudsters and his reply to me was to 'just go and f..k off' he repeated this several times and i kindly returned the compliment. Now for anyone who has sent payment you have a case of fraud I
    have spoken to the police and was given a website which I am sure will help it is 'WWW.ACTIONFRAUD.ORG.UK 03001232040 this is a goverment help[ line for people who have been scammed the rep who I spoke to said that the police can only get involved if you are out of pocket so anyone who has give a call.

    Please post a reply so we can all work together to get these people closed down.
