Scam its a scam charge you for a service they can NOT provide there is no mention of any fees until after details have been given
100% SCAM!!!
I accepted their T&C's knowing that they will charge £49 for their services but I was lead to believe that they were a lender, which they are not.
After accepting their T&C's they said I was accepted for a loan and I thought happy days but they then told me that lenders will be in contact with me to offer me loans. Absolutely a scam! Charged me £49 for doing what exactly?
DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS, YOU CAN GET FREE QUOTES FROM OTHER SITES---unless you would prefer to get scammed out of £49-69 then by all means this site is exactly what you're looking for!

I’m am so angry with this company! They have taken £49 and I didn’t even complete my application because I came here to check reviews, I’ve emailed them twice over a week and no reply, tried to call them and they just say to email them?! I do not understand how they are able to get away with this! I am still currently waiting for a reply and will shortly be sending more emails!
