2 years using this company

2 years using this company, no problems. Applied today, had email AND text to say money on its way, went to town and made a purchase, recieved a further email saying loan had been declined !! AND had the bloody cheek to direct me to a company to find out why it was declined, who then charged me £19.95 for the privilege!! DISGRACEFUL!!!

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your feedback.

In order to lend responsibly, we conduct a large amount of checks before paying out a loan, and sometimes a loan can be declined much later in the application process.

You can find out about your credit file for free via sites such as Noddle (www.noddle.co.uk) and Clear Score (www.clearscore.com). If you have been charged for this service without agreeing to pay a fee, you should be able to contact your bank in order to have the money refunded.

Thanks,

Hannah

These reviews prior to this one are 100% Fake! This company is disgraceful and should be shut down. Cyber bullies and keyboard warriors. They must be trained in intimidation tactics before they are set loose in the pen.

Thank you very much!

Excellent service,

I had an unexpected expense that I didn’t budget for, but thanks 🙏 to you’ll,? I can cover that expense without incurring any fees.
Once again, as the Tom Jenkins song goes, from Author Charles Dickens 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol.

Tom Jenkins Sing’s.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me
I may sound Double-Dutch
But my delight is such
I feel as if a losing war’s been won for me
And if I had a flag I’d hang my flag out
To add a sort of final victory touch
But since I left my flag at home
I’ll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very, much!

Company.
Thank you very, very, very much!

Tom Jenkins.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That’s the nicest thing that anyone’ ever done for me
It sounds a bit bizarre
But things the way they are
I feel as if another life’s begun for me

Company.
And If I had a cannon I would fire it
To add a sort of celebration touch
But since I left my cannon at home
I’ll simply have to say

Scrooge.
Thank you very, very, very much!

Company.
Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me
It isn’t everyday
Good fortune comes my way
I never thought the future would be fun for me
And If I had a bugle I would blow it
To add a sort of ‘ow’s-your-father touch
But since I left my bugle at home
I’ll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much

Scrooge.
No, my friends, it is I who should be thankful to you!

Company.
And so say all of us

Thank you very, very much
(Tom Jenkins: Thank you very much)
Thank you very much
( Tom Jenkins: That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me)
Thank you very, very much
(Tom Jenkins: The future looks all wright)
Thank you very much
(Tom Jenkins: In fact it looks so bright)
Thank you very much
(Tom Jenkins: I feel as if they’re polishing the sun for me)
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
Thank you very, very, very, very much

And If I had a drum I’d have to bang it!
To add a sort of rumty-tumty touch
But since I left my drum at home
I’ll simply have to say
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!

Yours Sincerely

Barry G. Gittens

Piggy Bank.

Very good lending service, only lends what you can afford to pay back.
They also make the Checks they need to do before they can realease your Funds.
This the Second time I've used Piggy Bank, I would recommend if you find yourself, needing a loan.
