“Poor website”

★★★☆☆

written by Bowmanxa184 on 18/06/2018

Nothing wrong with the principle and the speed is fine. The question section needs significant work. Not really usable for a mobile and I’m sure an easy fix. With so many other competitiors in this field a frustrated person could move on and would be unlikely to recommend to a friend. No option for a login and no declaration of the intention to store or use your personal details which goes against GDPR. However the payment is “swift” and accurate with a nice statement reminding you to pay early to save on interest.

“Don't repay early!”

★★★☆☆

written by Brizoh71_UK on 01/10/2015

I've had two loans with Lending Stream, both of which I've repaid early in order to avoid interest. Even though they encourage you to do so, they don't seem to like you actually doing it as I've been declined since then, even though my credit rating according to Call Credit has improved. Maybe it is down to them using a different agency outside the CC/Equifax/Experian triumverate, but to me it appears I'm not the type of customer they want as I'm probably not as profitable as they would otherwise like. If you want to keep borrowing of this crowd, don't settle early.

“payday expensive but clear”

★★★☆☆

written by Ward317 on 25/07/2014

the use of the product is clear my print out was quite jumbled but ok it showed me clearly I could save money by paying quicker, but still wish it was cheaper. would I recommend yourselves to friend or family maybe no to borrow with you is a personal and the risks are if you default the penalty is high, I would not want to be responsible to that degree.

“Service is good but the cost is not!”

★★★☆☆

written by Borrowitz on 23/07/2014

The service is very quick and efficient. The problem as you are aware lies in the punitive interest rates, which forces customers to use you as a lender of last resort. Because the mainstream banks have made it more difficult for those with poor credit history to borrow money from them, you have come in to fill that gap in the market, which is well and good. However the extortionist interest rates are not likely to endear you with your customers, or to ensure customer loyalty in the medium to long term. What we see is an element of greediness and 'get rich quick' mentality on your part, which is most unfortunate.

“expensive but handy”

★★★☆☆

written by Dalton374 on 28/06/2014

Althiugh the interest is high the ability to pay in instalments is useful and being able to top up is good especially if like me when one thing breaks everything else goes wrong at the same time. It helps to see exactly what your expected to pay each month befire committing. I would recommend for emergency cash. I hope if more people use this they could bribg the interest rate down as people who will use this company will ve in financial difficulty to start with.

“Payment Dates?”

★★★☆☆

written by fozd on 22/04/2014

Despite putting in the 28th of each month, you still put payments down for the 27th. You charge me late payments and i incur bank charges as well. this will happen on this loan and has happened on last 4 loans with you. What is the point in asking for salary paymant date when you do not take notice of it anyway?????

“Could be better!!!”

★★★☆☆

written by LauraDGreen on 31/03/2014

I paid my loan off early with a hope of maybe borrowing a bit more next time due to good history etc but they approved me for less than the original loan. Should have just kept my money and repaid it when it was due now I have less than what I need in the first place!

“Good, quick service: BUT....”

★★★☆☆

written by MacGregormm400 on 27/03/2014

OK... So I know that interest, interest, interest. I must be a fool to use any Pay Day Loan service. Needs must though. It's the only option, not only for me but others too. Now for the big "BUT"... Your going to ruin a sim card. Seriously, you will get lots of texts from other lenders. Embarrassing and a real nuisance at best. Borderline harassment and troublesome at worst. My advice is to use a burner sim card, like on an old phone that you only switch on once every day. TL:DR Ignoring interest.(don't judge me) Service is good. Not discrete. (will get lots of texts from other loan providers)

“Good service and easy to use website but very expensive”

★★★☆☆

written by gmParks82 on 23/03/2014

As the title suggests, they have a very user friendly website and are easy to use. Everything you need to know is easy to find when you log in. I expect the credit profile they lend to is extremely poor, as my credit history is bad but I am improving. The interest charged is very high so if you have a better credit status there are cheaper options!

“my loan application”

★★★☆☆

written by on 11/02/2014

just applied for a loan, and received it ok, as a regular user of lending stream the process was quick and straightforward as always, my only issue, is as a regular user with no missed payments, and a history of paying back my loans particularly early, i was extremely surprised and a little dismayed when i asked for 240gbp and was only offered 180gbp, both amounts of which are a great deal lower than what i've borrowed previously.

“Reasonable Process”

★★★☆☆

written by olgasixty on 31/01/2014

My only criticism is you don't provide for details of a second employment, which makes a persons situation incomplete.

It will go up overtime, once you have showed your a good customer. maybe not straight away, my best solution get them all paid off before borrowing again and always remember if your borrowing money to pay off other debts then you definitely need help and contact stepchange it a debt charity they dont charge any fees and will help put your mind at rest. :)
