I applied for short term loans via search engines, and some how came across loans Direct. On my initial search I was never made aware of any membership fee. As i was after a short term loan all my applications required my debit card details to allow the companies to take payment on the due date. I was led to think that Loans Direct needed my details to process a loan and not to take a fee! The fee came out my account within minutes of me giving them details. I had to wait for my bank to see the transaction before I could think who had taken the £69:75 from my account. I contacted loans direct straight away and was told to email them with my request to cancel. I was then told to write and send a cancellation request to them. Then finally I recieved an email stating that my refund was £46:46 as Loans Direct were taking their set up fee of £19:95 and £1:05 per day of use I had of the website! The email only allowed me to accept their offer of continue with my membership. There was no option to reject the offer. I called the "customer services" number and spoke to a gentleman who eventually told me all refunds are processed through head office. I asked for their number...I was told head office do not have a contact number? I asked to speak to a manager, I was told they have no managers. I asked him to help me and I was told all refunds are processed via head office. I asked him to get head office to call me and i was told that proberbly would not happen. Eventually I adviced him of my job role. I am a fully FSA registered business manager and I told him i would report him and loand direct.net to the FOS, FSA and to the office of fair trading who supply them with their consumer credit licence. He told me at that point he was terminated my call. I have accepted the refund of £46:46 as I am now aware i can accept it under protest. I am writing to OFt and FOS to report Loans Direct. If my complaint is upheld by FOS, it will cost Loans Direct £535 in a fee they MUST pay to the FOS regardless of the outcome of the complaint. ALSO be aware that I did a company search on this company and they are always changing directors, The last one being in June 2013. I will be writing to him directly although I feel he may be just a name thats put on companies house to just fullfil the role but that we will see in time

"hello gary ogden",
This is an american / u. S. Complaints board / forum.
Although there are thousands of complaints from people in the uk on here they are probably 99% from people who like you do not realise that posting a complaint about a company or an occurance in the uk on here is ridiculous !
Sorry to be so blunt about this - but what good do you think posting your complaint about not receiving your `product` from the steroid company in the uk will do on here ?

I recently separated from my husband and am on ssp so that money was my food money to feed my children now I have nothing thanks to these lying decieptful people.
