I just thought I would let everyone know who might have had problems with Cash Genie in the past.

Lots of adverts on TV now for Sunny payday loans. Beware, this is affiliated with Cash Genie.

CCA License Number 0594425 is for Think Finance (Uk) Ltd

Doing a search of the CCA register, shows a familiar name: Peter John Tuvey

Doing a search on Peter Tuvey, shows he has directorships for the following:

Ariste Holdings Limited (Previously known as Cash Genie): Book value: £4.7 million

Twyford Developments Limited

and 6 others.

Interestingly enough, apparently Ariste Holdings limited has a parent company called Change Capital, Inc. Change Capital, Inc is registered in Texas, USA.

Well spotted - seems to be a common thing these days with 'new' lenders appearing with supposed 'improved' T&C's. I've seen loads of horror stories on here with payday lenders tricks to recoup money via debit cards. These lot sound great, but I would be careful out there.

As for me, I've referred all my PDL debts to Christians Against Poverty who are handling them all for me. Just a couple of complaints ongoing, but progress is being made with them.

Regarding the Texas connection,there is also a connection to Ezcorp which are based in Texas.By what I can make out,is that Change Capital is a subsidiary of Ezcorp.

Mark Kucherither who is a director of Ariste Holdings,is also employed by Ezcorp,who are also in Texas.They do unsecured loans and have pawn shops.

Regarding Cash Genie,Ezcorp own them.This from their own web site.

EZCORP owns controlling interests in Prestaciones Finmart, S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM, E.N.R. (doing business under the name "Crediamigo"), a leading provider of payroll deduction loans in Mexico; in Artiste Holding Limited (doing business under the name "Cash Genie"), a leading provider of online loans in the U.K.;

Also anyone had previous dealings with 1 month Loan this is now called Sunny, same trading address.

Just had a letter from 1 Month Loan which is over 3 years old and they are offering a 60% discount. Same address as Sunny. Also back of the envelope said Think Finance so another one to beware!!
