Scammers

Scammers. Had to report them for fraud to get my money back off my bank. Just ignore your e mails and take £79 for NOTHING. No loan agreed. Preying on vulnerable people. Should be shut down.

As agreed in our terms and conditions…

As agreed in our terms and conditions and under section 155 of the 1974 Consumer Credit Act we have a period of 6 months to fulfil our obligation in finding you a suitable loan. A refund is applicable if a loan is not forthcoming within that 6 month period........ if like me like me they took £79 out your account this is a terms and conditions so you will get your money back like I did in the end

This must be the biggest SCAMMING set up i have had the misfortune of dealing with.I knew instantly ,this company was not for me ,but not before , i had agreed to their terms.I emailed/telephone instantly to cancel my application.First telephone contact is a recorded message , secondly the email reply ,was just an automated reply, sent to every email i sent ,6 in total.The thieves have since , gone ahead and taken my money , and totally ignored my telephone and email cancellation requests !! I have now taken advice and ,as i know i wont get my money returned, i am going to every organisation i can , to report them and have them cease trading.I hope others thinking of using these scammers ,reads all the reviews and see a small minority of positive ones ,to the large amount of negative ones.CASTLE FINANCE DIRECT , avoid like the plague !!!!

Thanks Castle Finance

Having bad credit I was turned down three times before using the Castle website. I applied and had four loan offers. I took the right loan for me. It did't take long to pay into my account.

It was long shot for me looking for a loan online as I had been refused a loan from my own bank. I found Castle Finance online and applied to them. I didn't think anything would result from the loan application, but it happened and the loan came about and got paid.

I had £79 taken from my bank account and did not take any loan as i decided could not afford one. I have emailed them asking for a refund but have been ignored. They are conning people out of money for nothing would rate them 0 stars if i could.
