Extremely poor user interface, especially for those vulnerable to technology. Only states they are not a direct lender at the end in small print, then hit with a £79 fee out of nowhere. I live with 2... See more

Like many others on this

Like many others on this, they took £79 out of my account. I'd never even been on their website. 48 emails later and a solicitor now involved and am slowly making progress. Anyone wanting to join the litigation, DM me on Twitter. @chris_burns79

Castle assited me in getting a loan when I was refused elsewhere. When I first applied to them they warned me that their firm had been cloned so be careful not to use a clone firm. Can't thank them enough for all their help.

I had a mammouth task finding a loan.My credit rating was bad and was being refused everywhere. I used castle for help. OK their rates were higher than a high street bank, but upon applying had quite a few loan offers. I know my credit was not perfect so i accepted the loan offer I was given.

Took £79 out of my bank today and left me with no money for food for my family. I did not authorise this. I have not had a loan from this company or used their services which even if I did I would not agree to pay them £79. If they state it in their small print then it is very small print as i did not see it. No telephone number to contact them on just an enquiries email address. Fuming.
