    I have used them for my wedding and for getting a car.
    no big interest fees and flexible repayments without any
    extra hidden costs.

    Don't just look at the APR many of these company's have a set up fee increasing your first payment and a final payment fee also? These additional amounts will not be applied to your APR which means that they may have an attractive rate the the total amount to be paid is higher than you first anticipate.

    I am in the enviable position at my stage of life that I don't need to borrow money but when I did, I checked the small print, every little detail. big amounts like a mortgage etc, keep it moving, for the best interest rate and don't get sucked in with the headline rate, they are seldom what they seem. Same principle for smaller loans, and if you can't get 0% check you can finish the loan early without penalty. If your not sure, walk, there are other lenders and everything is negotiable.

    I feel very sorry for folk that get sucked into the ruck of payday loans at rates a loan shark would be proud to write business at.

    I would suggest going through a bank. I test rates are very low. I personally would rather use a place I know that one of these lesser known online lenders.


    Saying that I know nothing about them

    All the best with what every u get mate
