YES Loans - lies, lies, lies 
Couldn't make complaint or cancel application!
Published by LouLou

Default YES Loans - lies, lies, lies
 
 

Oh my GOD! I can't belive how bad Yes Loans are, I am in shock.

11am - Applied for a loan online
1130 - Got an email asking me to call them as they wanted more details to process my application
1145 - called Yes Loans and was told Great News! I had been successful in my loan application and was quoted monthly repayments of £209 on a 9K loan. I was delighted, and paid a 59 debit card administration charge for setting the loan up and was informed documents would be on their way.
12noon- Hmm... every get the feeling this is too good to be true? Well I did so I called them back to ask a few questions saying I couldn't wait until docs came through post, just wanted to check APR amount was it fixed? It was then I was told A) I had not been approved for a loan B) they were searching companies and what I had been quoted was a typical amount C) They were looking at WELCOME FINANCE (Like I want a loan with those crooks)
I felt utterly sick and asked to make a complaint, this is where the fun started. I was passed no less than 10 times around the call centre, all the staff refusing to cancel my application or to log my complaint, they all kept saying I was through to the wrong department. As I type this I am again sat in a queue for atleast 30 mins waiting to get through to someone. No one will log my complaint and no one will cancel my application. I ask to speak to a manager and they REFUSE to put me through to someone or even take a message for a manager to call me back!

Having just spoken to someone who was supposed to deal with my complaint I have now been told I cann't cancel my application over the phone, I can't log my complaint over the phone and I have to write in. They are not regulated and can do what they like! I also explained at no point have I agreed to credit searches from other lenders, he said well it's probably too late to stop that now they will have already taken place.

I asked what their complaints processes was, they said they didn't have set timescales and would reply shortly.

I am sooo angry and the lack of control I have of this situation and I soppose more angry at being duped! Any suggestions, can they do what they have done??

Lou

Hi LouLou

Also get in touch with your bank and ask them to stop the payment as it was made on false presentation by this company. You will find that they are always getting asked this. You will probably not get it cancelled but you can see that you have logged a complaint.

Did you pay it by debit card or credit card?

Just to add my two cents about these crooks. I have been trying to get my £59 back for nearly two months now. Nobody will talk to me and they have now told me they are refusing to answer my e-mails. Called again today to give them one last chance and they are closed for maintenance for a day. I have probably spent the £59 on phone calls to these

It's all in the asking.

Tell them that if a refund is not on your card in 7 working days then you will Issue Court proceedings.

Title letter

'Letter before Action'

If in 7 days they have not complied, ISSUE COURT PROCEEDINGS.

No If's or but's.

They include a clause in their terms and conditions (which they conveniently neglected to send to me when I was similarly delighted by their 'loan offer' a couple of years ago) which says that you will only receive a refund after six months if they haven't managed to match you with a loan provider. And even then they take a cut of the original charge for administration.

Vultures.

You cant take them to court when they have call recordings of you AGREEING to the loan, at no point do they guarantee the loan they say and you do have to listen very carefully,

"you have been accepted for a loan by them" which basically means they you a) have a heart beat b)working in the uk c)earn more than £600pm etc

have you guys not seen these loans coys on TV??? you might get your money back but it wont be back for a very long time. they have been investigated by both the OFT and FSA but personal loans are not regulated its just thecredit cunsmuer act which does not do much in these cases.

my advise is if you in a position where you have that bad a credit rating that you cant get a payday loan then your not going to get a loan anywhere!!!!!!!
And its probably for the best,

hope this helps

They are only allowed to charge you the maximum of £5.

Write to them, stating that you are not happy with the service provided and that you do not wish for them to search for loans for the next 6 months. State you only paid the £59 as they told you they could get you a loan and as they cannot, you would like a refund. State that you are happy for them to take the maximum £5 and that you expect a refund of the remaining £54 within 7 days.

Failure to refund will leave you with no alternative but to instiagate legal action.

It worked for me - they are only entitled to charge a maximum of £5 and despite what they say about no refunds - don't listen to them. You will get nowhere at all on the phone with them. Make sure letter is sent recorded delivery.

Best wishes.

Wish i had read this forum before hand. I called Yes loans on 19th November for a loan quote. The rate they quoted was good. they asked for bank card to pay admin fee which i did but told them i do not get paid untill following day. and we were undecided if we wanted the loan anyway. Talked it through with my husband who said in the end we dont need it. I called them back 2 hours later and told them dont want the loan dont take any money and they promised they wouldnt. 5 days later they took it. after numerous promises of callbacks from supervisors i wrote this letter to them. What do you think?

Dear Sir

I am writing to you in complaint about Yes Loans stealing from me.
I called Yes Loans on the 19th November 2008 for a loan. I got accepted and was asked for my credit card details to pay an admin fee of £59.95. I explained to the advisor that I had no money in my account till the following day as I didn’t get paid until the 20th of each month. He still tried to put the payment through and it got declined. I told the advisor again I didn’t get paid until the following day. I also said I would call back on the 20th November with a decision on whether I wanted the loan and if I did I would make payment then.
2 hours after the original call on the 19th November I decided I did not want the loan and called Yes Loans and explained I didn’t want to take a loan with you. I also asked the advisor to delete all my card details and asked Yes loans not to take out an admin fee. I was assured the money would not be taken.
On checking my bank statements for November 2008 I noticed that on or around the 25th of that month you infact took out the admin fee after promising you would not take it and after strict instructions I didn’t want the loan. I called your company straight away in December when I noticed and spoke to many people. After getting through to a supervisor I was promised a call back within 48 to 72 hours after the tapes had been listened to. I never received the call. I called again a week later and again was told the tapes would have to be listened to. I explained that this should have happened over a week ago. Again I was fobbed off.
I have since contacted your company on a regular basis and you keep lying to me. My last call to you was on the 22nd January 2009 and again you told me you will listen to the tape.
I have made numerous calls to you about refunding my money but you don’t return my calls. I have emailed you to get a reply 48 hours later saying your email system does not work. You just state that you will listen to the tape when I call. What your company has done is theft. You were told not to take the money. You promised not to take it but did. That is illegal.
I have now put this matter to the financial ombudsman, my bank and solicitor.
This is the action I am taking now. Due to the fact I have had money stolen by your company and been inconvenienced I am going to making charges to you for phone calls, you keeping my money and writing this letter. The charges I am applying to you are the following:
1 x £20 charge for this letter
1 x £10 charge for numerous phone calls to you
Also I am charging you £10 pounds for every 2 weeks you have held my money illegally. This totals 8 weeks so a charge of £40 pounds for holding my money and not refunding when I have questioned why you have not returned my calls or cash. This brings the total to £129.95 which includes costs to me and the admin fee you stole.

If you want to dispute this matter for the total amount then that is your choice but I will pursue you through the small claims court. I am giving you 10 working days notice to acknowledge this letter and refund me my money . The charges are fair as lenders charge customers who make late payments and when they chase a debt. This is what I am doing to you, chasing a debt . I expect an answer and cheque by the 6th February 2009. If I don’t get anything from you then I will write another letter and put another charge of £20 onto the total of the bill every week after 6th February 2009. You have had long enough to sort this matter out.
This letter is being sent to the customer complaints department and the chairman of Yes Loans.
To clear this matter up quickly I suggest you respond soonest.
Sincerely,
Zoe Marie Fenn

Hi:
Just to confirm and agreed what a complete utter bunch of crooks the company called Yes loans are. I won't repeat most of what has already been said, but like an idiot, I too fell for their advertisment and won't go over old ground again, but would like to add the following points.
Why is it that having recieved so much negative feedback are these crooks recommended or given as a legitament loan company on a link on yahoo homepage? and how can they call themselves a loan company when they are a glorified broker?
As an individual who is probably now going to sort out a debt plan with a reputable company I have found or observered how the whole sordid business of people like Yes Loans operate. It's tragic that when you are going through a rough financal patch (In my case I'm self employed and business is seasonal so I needed a small loan to see myself through the next few months and have an average credit score) companies like Yes Loans are hovering about like vultures. They know you are possible bordering on the desparate and running out of financal possibilities. They know exactly which buttons to push and you are so relieved you give them a bit of money thinking that at least for the moment you have sorted yourself out. Am afraid that all you have to do is put it all down to experience and spread the word about this company of criminals, and yes. forget about ever getting that £59.50 back.
In one way Yes Loans did me a favour. It made me realise that I had hit rock bottom financially as I had started useing tossers like Yes Loans and the next step was to go to Vic the local loan shark and end up having heavies come round at four in the morning for their weekly payment. So, instead I saw sense and now through a legitimate and helpful debt advice centre am planning how to sort my money out, or lack of it.
So, keep telling people about your experience with Yes Loans, but to hit all these crooks take a hard look at yourself and if you know that things are out of control take heart and talk to an honest and friendly organisation like National Debtline or many others available and at least you will be well on the way of getting yourselve sorted out and never having to approach people like Yes Loans.

Sorry I can't add anything helpfull, but I know how you feel.

I got caught in the same trap.

But for some reason my admin payment didn't go through over the phone so they said they would try again in a few days. Whilst waiting I searched the internet for more info about them because I too began to realise it may be too good to be true. I found page after page of people telling their stories about them. It was then that I realised that they were brokers and it's a more than common trick they play.
I phoned them back and asked them not to process the payment again and they agreed. So I was one of a very few lucky ones.

They did go ahead and sign me up for health insurance because the paperwork came through from the insurance company. So I phoned them to explain. Thankfully they didn't mind me not going ahead with it and the man I spoke to when told of my story with YES Loans was...

'Oh, them again. Yeah they do that all the time'
