Provident's Latest offer

sillygirl1 · 15th October 2007, 16:54

Provident sent me an email offer of a debit card with £300 loaded onto it for a payment of £9 a month for 56 months, total apr 183.2% - is this extortionate credit or what?

Needless to say I won't be taking up their offer - they seem to have had my email from a refusal I sent to Vanquis after they sent me another similar offer.

Wasn't sure if I could post the link but that's definately it... I pity the people who might find this attractive. I've dealt with Provident once and never again....

It's actually £9 a week!

The apr% is still 183.2% !

Hmmmmm, both the cards and the loans have gone up from around 176% APR to the new level. They must have realised the earlier dividend wasn't living up to thier dire reputation, and did something about it.

This 'take a dump on the poor' outfit are top of my list for retribution after quaffing a £400 deposit (quite literally) and mis-pricing a vehicle I purchased via Yes Car Credit.

They really should be given trophies engraved with 'Best attempt at pretending to have morals'

Hey I'm not mad anymore

I have plans in place to get even!

Eye for an eye

Aha, thats part of my wicked Provident revenge plan

I haven't hun, no. The whole moving thing fell through, but I'm glad because I've got a new job and need to be nearer there. Staying put for now and saving the pennies.

Trouble moi?

Get the ironing done lol

Now I wouldn't want to go off topic, so....

Provident suck.
