A few weeks ago I was on the net looking for a loan. Every where I went I kept getting redirected to loanfinder uk. I kept closing their page down untill i got anoid and i thought I'd have a look. On the front page it says nothing about charges or broker fees. I filled in all the information and when it came to the last section asking to confirm it notes a "one off" broker fee of £47.87. N0w my partner had paid a broker fee before with someone else and got scammed, she never recieved a loan but was charged 4 or 5 times at £47.87. Remembering this I decided against going any further so i clicked cancell and closed the site down. This morning I went to get my wages and noticed I was short nearly £50. My bank account is new and I havent made any direct debits so I was very confused. So i went home and phoned the bank. They said that £47.87 had been taken by Loanfinder UK. Still confused I asked how they took it and apparantly I autherised it this morning. It looks like they where watching my account till some money went in. I told the bank I had not autherised any direct debits so they stopped it and arranged for my money to be taken back. I should get it before the end of the day. I have managed to find the website and tried to log on to it, i didnt know any of the details like username or password so I clicked forgot and entered my email, i then recieved and email back with a username and password but the site still wouldnt let me on. So they obviously had my details and just wouldnt let me see what was going on. So i left them a message on thier complaints link, basicaly saying that I never agreed to them taking money and they stole it. I informed them that my bank is taking it back and stopped the direct debit and that if any more money goes from my account i will be taking legal action. If any one would like the company address I managed to get it from my bank, it follows: Postnet Ltd, 1st floor, Grandville Chamber, Richmond Hill, Bournmouth, BH2 6BJ. I hope that more people try and do something so that they get shut down. Good luck to anyone else in the situation. PADD
