Hey guys - Sorry been busy!

I gave up with them and my bank (Halifax) treated the transactions as fraud and i got a refund a week or so ago from the bank. So I'm happy.. My bank deffo treated this as a fraudulent transaction though..

Good Luck!

It seems to have worked, although I'm not holding my breath. I've been contacted by a "manager" who assures me this was a mistake and that i would recieve my money back within 48 hours.

We'll see!

Ooh.. May have goten somewhere.. I did a whois on the domain name (Whois Search - Domain name whois) and called the number for the domain contact (0208 number) and spoke to a lady who said they were a different legal entitiy to them but she would try and get hold of somebody to call me back.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks, Katpuss.

I've signed the forms that i recieved from my bank just waiting to see what happens, does anyone know what the likely outcome is? I've got a baby due in 5 weeks, i could use the money back!

I've tried emailing the company numerous times and calling them but no reply.

Thanks,

Michael

I hate to give you some bad news but here goes..

I applied with these people on the 11th August and was accepted, signed the agreement and everything was set. I waited 3 days for the money to be deposited. I called them a few times and was told that they were having banking issues and the money should be with me by the end of the following week. They use BACS so the money would never be in the account on the same day, so this is a lie, i asked and was told BACS was the only payment option they have.

I called on Wednesday last week to ask where the money was and was told that the money should be in by the end of the week. I didnt realise that i was also due to repay my loan on payday which was Friday last week.

I figured since i hadn't got the money from them i'd be fine. However, it has come to my attention that they have taken money from my account, even though i've never recieved the money from them!

They have taken two payments from my account, one for £175 and one for £52. There have also been other payments but they were declined because there wasn't any more money left in the account. Since i transferred the money out of my account into my savings account. I have asked my bank to treat these payments as fraudulent and have started the process of reclaiming this money.

Now that its bank holiday I can't call them until Tuesday.

I'm soo peeved off, this is a joke.

Thanks,

Michael
