Reviews and Complaints

I knew this was a scam, I paid up front fee, 5 month ago, for a supposedly 1000 pound loan, told at 1st it would take only 2 weeks b4 I would receive the money from a lender who was suppose to of contacted me, surprise surprise no one did, so I contacted city financial and they told me oh your credit is bad so they put me on to this experion credit company, which they never did, cos I checked with experion and paid for a credit report to which, I sent on to city financial, but the thing was I had so many delays, weeks months go by without getting anywhere, now 2 weeks ago I contacted them, they told me once again to wait for a lender to contact me, well 2 weeks on, been trying to ring them all this week, no reply what a surprise, they like many others have taken us for a ride, they should be bought to court and put out of business for good .

I myself paid £69 was told the money would be in my bank a £1000 within three to four days this was great for me as i was flying to turkey in 5 days and needed the money for extra spends id paid the £69 on the 17th of october. Cane back off holiday on the 29th of october. Still no money. Called them on the 29th oct and asked the man to chase it up. He said he would email yhe company and tell them to call me if they domt call you by 6pm please give customer service a call back. Nobody called think iv been skamed seems all of us have all paid a fee and received nothing. No body said i finally got my loan its all never got their loans so sad they carnt be brought to justice so not fair.

I feel like a total idiot, I did the same yesterday, they asked me to pay a £69 fee upfront for a loan for £2000, and like a fool I gave my bank details, they said they would email me the contract that afternoon. I received no contract via email so contacted them, I was rudely hung up on several times and then realised if this was a legit company they would not behave that way, I contacted my bank straight away to cancel any pending payments and to cancel my card, luckily for me this has worked and no money has been taken out of my account, so I urge anyone who is going through this to cancel all bank cards as they can take money out whenever they like. Also would just like to ask did everyone sign the contract and post back to them before money was taken out of there account? I have now received the contract but will not be signing it, on the contract it asked for a signature allowing them £79 and that's all, it doesn't say anything about money they are going to lend you. Nothing but a scam and I feel so stupid giving them information.

Oh my I feel such a fool paid £79 yesterday to a lovely lady called kitty who assured me I would receive my money in 3-5 days I have now spent my rent money as believed everything she said and now realise I have been ripped off how can these people get away with it iam now in a worse place then when I started shall be contacting them tomoz but will probably end up with nothing will contact my bank as well it is a disgrace p

again wish I read all this first. I paid £79 pounds and promised a loan. 3-5days. Well still nothing and other companies are texting saying they can give me a loan and I need to ring to process. :( Surely I have processed with City financial. I am so angry as that was my last money. I have contacted my bank who have said I have to wait 6 months. Before I can Claim it back.

Ok I've been scammed too. Feel like a fool writing this and should have read up on this so called company beforehand. Oh we'll, we live end learn by our mistakes. Same script as all the other posts on here, more or less identical. There must be something to do about companies like this ripping people off. I'm going to write and try to get my money back and am reporting to the FSA and the ombudsmen. These people need stopping.

Liars and robbers they.promised me a loan for £1000 to help me with funeral expenses, to be paid into my bank by Thursday no cash appeared, rang to ask them to cancel my loan an get my £65 returned, he said he couldnt do it but his supervisor would ring me back in the next five minutes, 5 days later still no response. PLEASE do not use these highway robbers, they should be a law against this scam of making money Be warned!

whos for bombarding these idiots with emails: enquiries@city-financial.net

Their scam and fraud is continuing. They even text me today from number +[protected] telling me that my loan application for £ 1500 is ready for finalising and asked me to call on [protected]. I know it is scam and that is why I do not attend any phone call until I know the person calling me and I do not entertain any such texts. I have now registered myself with TPS (telephone preference service) and it will soon stop all these unwanted calls and texts. Mohammad

Hi guys got some interesting news that might help. Any one heard of chargeback? ive taken this expaination from a forum i was looking at. Chargeback is a little known scheme which gives you a chance of getting your money back from your bank if you bought faulty goods, a service wasn't provided, or the company you bought something from went bust and your goods weren't delivered.

It works in a similar way to Section 75, which is a legal protection if you buy something on a credit card making the credit provider jointly liable with the retailer if things go wrong. But while Section 75 only works for credit card purchases over £100, and other credit agreements,
Hope this helps someone im going to give it a go ATB
