PostHeaderIcon I have been ripped off by a loan company. What can I do?

I was trying to find a loan company through one of online free quote services.
After submitting my details one of agents had contacted me asked for more details among other card details, just so they know where to transfer money, but after receiving the details she mentioned quite high fee for securing a small loan, so I said, I quit, and asked her to disregard my phone call and remove my details.

12 days later I have received a text thanking me for opening an account with them. I gave them a call explaining I did not agreed to anything, but they said I gave them my card details (but does that mean they are free to charge me for whatever they want?) after a while they hang up, and now as soon as they hear my voice they hang up all the time.

What can I do, is there any hope and way to get the fee back (in UK)?
I meant loan broker…
Othniel – thanks for your answer, have contacted bank, blocked card and asked to stop the payment. Should be ok… thanks again…

Dispute the charges with your credit card company. Since you did not receive any goods or services the credit card company will not pay the loan company.

In the future do not try to do business as important as a loan application through an unknown internet company. Only deal with reputable lenders, if there are any left but that’s a whole different topic.

Go to your local bank, credit union or the lender that you have used in the past.

PostHeaderIcon 18 Year Old – Getting a Loan in the UK?

Hello there,

My partner and I would like to set up a small time business in retail, I myself am 18 years old, my partner is 19. We are both currently unemployed.

We looked into starting our own business as a way forward, an alternative to a job, something WE have control over, our earnings will be governed not by someone else, but by our ability at what we do.

We have both been born into families that have a history of business managers and the like, so we’ve had some good knowledge from the start, hence why were oh so determined to succeed.

We are looking to secure a loan of £5000 (GBP) from the bank of our choice (Barclays most likely), with as little interest as possible.

We have a full, completed business plan that has been reviewed and given praise.

We are wholey confident in our plan and ourselves. Now we ask the question, What is the possibility of us securing a loan of £5000 from the bank, with little to offer them in terms of collateral, will a solid business plan and pitch be enough to sway their view?

Need pretty swift responses people, 10 Points to the most convincing answer.

Thanks in advance.

odds are it’s not going to happen. First requirement of a loan examination is the ability to repay the loan. YOu do not have that.

Take the business plan to the commercial loan department for review. If it’s as good as you say, they will be falling down to lend you the cash.
