Company details

  1. Non-bank financial service

Information provided by various external sources

Despite being classified as a payday lender, we do not like to think of ourselves in that way. We are a new loan financing company in the UK focused on ethical approach to payday loans by offering short term loans from £50-£200 (new customers) with maturities between 2-4 months and in some cases up to 1 year. Our annual interest rate is 154%, which is about 1/2 of the FCA legal limit. At Credio we do not charge any late payment fees or extra interest, as we do not believe it is a right way to respond to customers who are clearly facing financial difficulties.

Terrible Company

Very poor customer service. Initially when I first took out a loan with them they were very good. But when I took a complaint out against them for irresponsible lending they have been very lacklustre.

I now have an FOS decision for them to refund me and yet they are ignoring that and refuse to e-mail me back now! You cant ring them as number just goes to some message.

They did ring me when the FOS decision had been made to say did I fancy paying back the interest of last loan. I had to say to them that FOS had awarded me refund of interest for numerous loans so you owe me...... That was from a mobile number of 07889 449045

STAY AWAY FROM CREDIO.. SERIOUS TROUBLE

I would give them a zero star rating but 1 star is the lowest. they don't deserve 1 star.
nightmare company. they put a default on my account after months of me trying to contact them to arrange payment and getting no respnse. I even looked up the names of directors and found one of them on linked in who doesn't work there anymore. I emailed him and he emailed the main director direct for me. I opened a complaint with the financial ombudsman who also did not get any response from them. when I did finally get a response and settle my account with them they agreed to remove the default on my credit file as the ombudsman were telling them it shouldn't be on there. 6 months later and I'm recieving emails from them asking me to change my card details as they can't take a payment! this company should be shutdown they are nothing but a bunch of thieving scam artists.

Received this email from them after I made a complaint about irresponsible lending. No company should be allowed to trade with this customer experience.

Dear xxx,

At this moment we do not have enough manpower to deal with complaints from defaulted borrowers. It's people like you who are ruining our business when not paying back they're due but complaining about everything, starting from weather and finishing with complains about irresponsible lending. Something a 6 year old would say if you ask my personal opinion.

If you have any further questions, comments or concerns, please email to

Kind regards,

Stay clear of this company - I am not sure who is handling their email queue but my goodness this is surely not allowed

Same as the review below

Same as the review below, No contact Well over a year, was on a DM with StepChange, Credio started to send back payments, tried to ring them even email to have no reply, then all of a sudden I receive an email stating that my loan is now over due and in default and they will be pursuing a CCJ against me

No contact for nearly a year!

I took out a loan well over 18 months ago! I then entered into a debt management Plan. Credio accepted some payments then started to return them. I spent months calling and emailing asking why. But as other state you never get a response and the phone only goes to a voice message service. Over a year later I started to get emails stating there taking out a CCJ because they have had no payment in the last 14 days. (Tho it's been well over a year since they last accepted a payment from stepchange) Yet they are the ones who returned it! I have no way of contacting them and they never get back to me. So I'm worried and in limbo over these emails.

Update! They emailed me yesterday! About this review, nothing to do with my issues! Just wanted a loan ID to provide proof I've used them! Deal with my complaints please! Not just trying to hide bad reviews! This is crazy! a bad review and they get in touch within 12hrs! Everthing else they ignore.

Update 2. Sep 2018! Nearly a year later and still nothing! I opened a complaint with the financial ombudsmans service. But you guessed it they haven’t heard anything back at all from credio! They ruled in my favour and ordered a debt write off and compensation. I’m now in the process of taking legal action and will keep you updated.

Update 3. After credio ignore the financial ombudsman services ruling, I brought my complaint to the financial conduct authority who after hearing all of my experiences with this company and how they have just ignored me and the FOS, are now looking closely into my complaint.

Is this a real company?....

I applied for a loan. Completed the application, and received an email confirmation. That was it! Nothing else! No follow up email or phone call, and no loan! What has happened to honest payday loan companies? Complete waste of my time, and such a shame

UPDATE: Just been emailed by trustpilot sating credio have flagged my review as one sided i did not include my customer service experience.

OK so my experience is THIS COMPANY IS SUSPICIOUS i am still waiting to speak to someone at credio they havent replied to any of my emails so all in all customer service DOES NOT EXIST

the 1st response from Credio i have had is indirectly via trustpilot just now about my review which i stand by, Credio took all my personal details and that was that heard nothing since, this is the same story repeated over and over all over google search

Finally got justice!

Has taken me since April, a FOS final decision and almost legal action but they FINALLY paid up. After doing an offer where you get £5 back for each payment made via PayPal they made up so many lies about the "computing person being off sick" or "payment is in process" I went to the ombudsman and they even ignored them! It took the ombudsman beating them with a stick and me preparing to start legal action for them finally to make payment as per the ombudsman decision. Do not under any circumstances deal with this company.
