You do have to fax stuff in & they do perform credit checks.
Talk about robbery, charging
Talk about robbery, charging 2339% interest is nothing short of robbery, it time companies like this were banned.

Useless. They claim not to do credit checks yet I meet all of their criteria, my debit card passed the debit card test & my bank statements were clean yet I got declined. I kept calling & calling them & kept getting fobbed off & finally, they said that even though I "met all of their criteria," they declined me because I didn't meet their "business rules!" I'M SORRY, WHAT? I'd stay clear people. Not very good at all.
I applied for a loan once
I applied for a loan once work check had been done and credit agreement faxed money was transferred to account within an hour in total less than 12 hours from applying. Good service and no docs required.
I was asked for bank
I was asked for bank statements, they were happy with onlines though - freephone number to call them to finalise and dos were electronically signed by email - not too hard
