quick and no fuss

Applied on my phone during my lunch break and had an answer before I got back to my desk. Money landed the next morning, no problems at all. Repayments are set up by direct debit so I don't have to think about it.

got the basic plan

Got the basic plan on the app last month and it's been fine. Sign up took a couple of minutes and the app is easy enough to use. Nothing has gone wrong so far. Would buy again.

good value for the money

Paid a bit less than I expected for the full package, which is what sold me. I booked on the website and got my confirmation within a few minutes. Everything was delivered on the day they said and the person I spoke to was helpful about the timings. Didn't have to chase anyone. Good value, I'll be back.

App kept logging me out

Signed up on the app for a short term loan and the first few tries kept logging me out before I could upload my payslip. Had to email them in the end and it took two days to get a reply. Money did land fine once it was approved, just a bit of a slog getting there.

Needed it for uni

Needed a bit of cash for my deposit and this was the quickest I could find. Filled in the form in like ten minutes, got a yes straight away. Money hit my account the next morning, no drama at all. Definitely doing it again if I need to.

The monthly top up plan

I've had the monthly top up plan for about six years and it's still going strong. Every month the money lands in my account the same day it's due. I've never had to chase anyone or wait on hold. The app is easy enough to use once you find the right menu. Been a loyal customer and see no reason to change.

Still the best option for us

Been using this for years now and it has never let us down. The renewal went through without any fuss and the payment reminders arrive on time. Customer service has always been quick when we've needed them. Would not switch.

Cheaper than the other place

Compared it with the place I usually use and this came in cheaper for the same thing. Ordering was simple enough once I found the right page. My only gripe is that the confirmation took a while to arrive and I had to check my spam folder. Otherwise happy with it.

Best of the lot i looked at

Looked at three others first and this one came out on top. Booking was quick and the confirmation email came straight away. Everything turned up when it was meant to and the staff were friendly when I rang with a question. Would use again.

Quicker than my old lender

Compared it with my old lender and this was way quicker to apply, took about ten minutes on my phone on the bus. Money hit my account the next working day which was the main thing. Repayments come out on the date they said they would, no grief so far. Had a bit of a wobble with the app timing out once but I got through it on the second go.

cheaper than going direct

Looked at the bank's own option first and this was about a fiver a month less for the same cover. Signing up took maybe ten minutes on the site and the confirmation email came straight away. Nothing to complain about, just wish the reminder emails weren't so frequent.

Good value for a short term loan

Went for the 12 month term because the shorter one was too steep for my budget. The total cost was clearly shown before I signed, which I appreciated. My only real gripe is that the payslip upload took a few goes and I had to email them when it kept failing. Once approved it was sorted and the money arrived the same afternoon.

needed a quick fix

Needed something sorted before the weekend and this was the one I went with after checking a few sites. Set it up on the laptop in under ten minutes. The only slight annoyance was that the account page is a bit clunky and took me a while to find where to change things. Didn't affect what I needed though.

Sorted in the end

Took ages to get a proper answer from anyone. Sent a message on the site and it was nearly three days before anyone replied, which was frustrating when I had a deadline. Once they did reply it was sorted fairly quickly and the staff were polite. The service itself was alright in the end but the wait was a pain. I'd probably use them again but I'd want to sort out what I need before I start.

Best of the ones i tried

Tried two other sites first and this one worked out cheaper once the fees were added up. The quote was clear and the whole thing was done on my phone. Good stuff.

Needed a loan for the boiler

I needed the funds to cover the boiler replacement, as the old one had finally given up in the cold snap. The application was straightforward enough, although I did need to ring them once as the online form did not accept my postcode. The decision came through within a day and the money arrived in my account shortly after. I have been making the monthly payments without any bother since, and the statements are clear.

the fees were the first thing I noticed

The first thing that caught my eye was the arrangement fee, which I hadn't expected from the advert. I did read the terms but they're long and not easy to follow. When I rang to ask about it I waited almost forty minutes before anyone answered. I'm sure it's all above board but it left me feeling a bit uneasy about the whole thing.

The free trial thing

The free trial was the bit that got me, no card needed to start. Signed up on my phone in about two minutes. It's been really easy so far, nothing weird. Yeah would do it again.

Sorted my car insurance renewal

Renewed my car cover through the site and the quote came in a bit under what I was paying last year. I know insurance quotes around a lot so I checked the policy wording against my old one and it matched. Documents came by email straight away. Wish the renewal reminder had come a little earlier, but otherwise fine.

needed a loan for the van

Needed finance to cover a repair on the van and this seemed to suit my situation. I know the market well so I checked the representative APR against the others and it held up. Application took about fifteen minutes and approval came back the same afternoon. The only niggle was the payment date, which I'd have liked to pick myself rather than being set for me.
