    Hi im just looking for the name of a loan company in a hurry. They offer loans from 100 to 1000Euro and they call to your door each week to collect the money. Ive seen them advertised on Dublin bus but i cant remember the name of the company. Can somebody please tell me??

    Thanks,

    It could be Friends First that you are looking for but they charge huge interest rates and to be honest you could probably get a loan much cheaper in a Credit Union or Bank.

    Sounds like loan sharking.

    Try the credit union, or if its something important, try getting an advance from work.

    keep away from provident , it seems so handy they call to the door every week for the money , the interest is HUGH , and as soon as you get near to clearing the debt off , they are throwing money at you again and it never finishes , join a credit union and you can get a loan in 13 weeks , or if you are really stuck go into the manager of the credit union and tell him your situation , 9 out of 10 times he will sort you out .

    please follow the advice of going to a credit union. Any of those Providence type-crowds will end up in you being worse off in the future.

    All sage words posted above. At least now companies are banned from sending out unsolicited loan offers. I dont know how many times mbna have phoned and wrote to me offering loans. are provident the ones with an address in Swords and charge about 27% interest?

    Really? I'm sure I got one of those 'pre-approved' application forms from BOI yesterday. I can't check as it went straight in the shredder.

    Example: Loan amount: €500, 51 weekly repayments of €15
    Total amount payable €765. Typical 150.3% APR
    direct quote from their website
    thats how bad they are
