I dealt with the Doncaster branch and they offered me an APR of 45% which meant paying back nearly £8000 on a £3k loan (this was over 3 years). After some consideration I decided that the APR was just too high. Libby, who works at the Doncaster branch asked me what APR I would be happy with but they couldn't offer me a loan at that amount. I decided that paying nearly £5k interest was too much and although it will be tight, paying things of the old fashioned way. I was told that they could review the APR after 9 months but I was put off this by the reviews on this website of empty promises. However, I have no issues with the friendliness of the staff.

High interest rate however I feel that the loan will be beneficial in the short term to enable me to then increase my credit scoring by clearing debts and allowing me too move onto a high street lender. The process to take the loan was very quick and easy to complete and the money was in my account within 3 days of applying for the loan. I feel the optional extra of life insurance for the loan was inappropriate in view of the amount of the loan, as it was a consolidation loan and as I also had Life cover in place. Overall I would recommend Everday Loans to someone in a similar position to myself.

I needed a loan initially of £5k to clear my two credit cards and two catalogues as all i was doing was making the minimum payment each month which covered just about the interest and nothing else.
I have bad credit rating due to having my debts six years ago debt consolidatd. Even though these have now been paid it still leaves a bad credit rating on my account.
I tried applying for a loan with the normal banks etc but no one would accept me.
I thought I would try everyday loans as there was no up front admin fee. They asked me to fax over my last 3 months of bank statements and payslips and once I did this they phoned me up a couple of hour later to say that my loan application had been approved.
They asked me to come in for a meeting to finalise the application, I did ask whether it could be done through the post as I worked full time but they said that they could only finalise the application by having a meeting. They was helpful and said that I could come in the evening after work so I arrange to have a meeting at the Ilford branch.
However, prior to this meeting I realise that I had under estimated my debts and that I actually needed a loan for 6K!
The guy I saw was really chirpy and easygoing and as soon as I saw him I had mentioned that really I needed a loan for £6k not £5. He said no problem as my application had been approved for £6.5k.
He went though on his computer what debts I wanted to pay and the remainder of £300 he asked whether I wanted this debt paid directly into my bank account. They were going to pay my credit cards and catalogs directly to them.
I have taken the loan over 3 1/2 years at £251.23. This works out to a 70% interst rate. I know its really high and I did expect it as I had read reviews on this company. But this was the only company who accepted my application straight away.
My debts were paid and I have now started paying my loan repaymnets.
I would recommended this company if you are really desperate and dont mind paying a high interst rate.

My loan with Everyday Loans www.everyday-loans.co.uk is a secured loan that was sorted out relatively quickly, I was happy with the communication initially during the application process. However since we started making repayments they have never taken the direct debit out on the same day of the month yet!! I have never been informed of a change of dates either, that said, when I complained it was sorted out straight away & I was offered a refund of any bank charges that I may get as a consequence of they errors. My local branch does have a new manager now that has promised improvements is all aspects of customer care!!
Overall I dont have any problems with this company, yes they are an adverse company with higher APR's, but they are up front
with everything. I would suggest that anyone with adverse credit gives them a shot.

Simple interest is used by banks:
Here is the difference: if a bank would charge you 45% interest on a loan (banks use simple interest) you would pay £3000 +45% = £4350 over 36 months
Small brokerage loan companies: - They operate by charging interest on interest; this is known as compound.
Small loan companies would charge you more etc £3000+45% = £4350 plus interest charged on top of interest = 8,289.98 including their broker charges
