I applied for a loan with Wentworth Finance. They told me I could definitely have the loan I requested and asked for a £53 upfront fee to arrange it. I gave them my card details but asked them not to take the money for a week. I recieved another call from a loan company and when I mentioned Wentworth the advisor told me to get the £53 payment cancelled as soon as possible as Wentworth were known for scamming people and that they were a broker not a loan company so could not possibly guarantee me any sort of loan. I immediately rang them and had to ring back three times as was put on hold for ages, hung up on and finally given a fake 'head office' number. I have now had to cancel my bank card so they cannot take a payment. I will be reporting them to trading standards and to the office of fair trading as this fraudulent behaviour cannot be allowed to continue.
