My loan helped me out at a really difficult time. The process was really straightforward and the staff very helpful. Five star service.
My only problem initially who was finding a reputable Tradesman who was prepared to measure up and have UPVC windows and doors made without payment or a substantial amount being paid upfront. I was not in a position to do this and many companies would not proceed on this basis.
I was lucky that I found a reputable Sole Trader who was a relative of a friend of mine who was prepared to vouch for me. I can see this as a potential stumbling block for other people and needs looking into.

Great organisation
Great organisation! After nearly 20 years of living in a cold house, every morning I wake up and feel so grateful that my house is warm. This is thanks to lendology. They helped me get the loan I needed to get a heat pump. Now my house is warm and my bills are less. They were supportive, efficient and I would really recommend them.
