To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Amazing !!!!!!

Oh wow, what can I say...... They are brilliant!!!!!! They needed two wage slips, but because I have just started a new job and only had a single payslip to hand, they waited two days until my next pay day. Nothing was too much for them, their advisors that I spoke too were polite and helpful. It took them a few hours to review my application and once accepted the money was in my bank account within a few hours.
The application was super easy,
Supplying the evidence they wanted was a sinch.
If they need to speak to me, they called me.
Seriously they are amazing. If you don't believe me give them a try yourself. You won't be disappointed.
