Castle Finance Direct taking money

This company have taken money from my account but I did not give them permission. They have not found me a loan so they have taken money for a service I've not received or gained from. This has now left me in total financial difficulties as it took my last £79 from my bank that was there for food for my children and myself. Been emailing them but no reply and they don't have a phone number to contact them.

Castle Finance Direct taking £79 from my bank

I did an application on your website and haven't gone any further than that with any loan.
You have taken my last £79 out of my bank when the reason I applied for a loan was because I had no money!
How can you take money from me for literally doing nothing?
You have no contact number, an automated service on email.
Your a scam and I think your disgusting!
I want all my information you hold on me deleted and I forbid you to pass any of my details to any third parties!
Anthony grant clayton and rita clayton your both dirty scammers!

Castle Finance Direct castle finance broker

I used this company to get help with a loan but I didn't go ahead with it and the one they set me up with wasn't any good anyway. I cancelled it with the loan company which is amigo and have tried to contact these on a number of occasions with no luck, to get a refund for the £79 pound fee since it hasn't been over 14 days yet. There just ignoring all messages and there is no phone number to call up.

Castle Finance Direct are independent licensed credit brokers and not lenders

Typical Representative Loan Example. £1500 repayable over 36 months. Payments would be £65.33 a month.
Total repayable would be £2430.88 including interest plus £79 admin fee.

Representative APR 32% *
APRs can vary between 20% to 70%

Castle Finance Direct robbing me of £79

I'm so annoyed that they could Rob me of my money, someone has taken my details and used them to apply for a loan which I had no intentions of doing, I wasn't contacted or didn't recieve a letter confirming this or they didn't do anything just take the money without my consent, I have bills to pay and mouths to feed this company needs to clearly be shut down and I would like to recieve my money back as this is theft and clearly fake identification I hope the company gets what's coming to them I have to work hard for my money and if this isn't dealt with as soon as possible I'll be getting the authorities involved

Castle Finance Direct administration fee

I have tried and tried to contact yourselves today regarding a payment taken from my account, I did not authorise this and it has left me with nothing! I need to speak with someone as my bank advised. How can a company not have a telephone number it's ridiculous! I need this cancelled ASAP so my money can be returned to myself. I'm extremely angry that I can't get in touch with someone to resolve this issue. Do not use castle finance direct!

Castle Finance Direct they took money for the form and refused to refund

I filled the form on the website of Castle Finance Direct. I thought to apply for the loan on this website, but after I filled the form and indicated my personal info, these jerks took money from me. I sent them tons of emails and told to refund, but the rep replied only several days ago and told that they didn’t return money. Total scam, so stay away from them.The worst company ever, so avoid these ### and post comments about your experience with them.

This company has also taken my £79.00 out of my account without my consent. I rang a number I had for them and it is just a voice stating email them asking for a refund and it will be with you within 7 working days. Nothing has appeared. I contacted my bank last week and they said they needed a authorisation number from them to stop the payment but you cannot get any response from the company at all. If all these people are being robbed by this company why isn't someone doing something about the company like closing them down.
I have waited the 7 Days to get my refund so I will go back to my bank again and see if they can help otherwise it will be the financial ombudsman but I dont hold out much hope.

they are one big scam, as above they say you will be accepted for loan and only when you accept(without reading terms and conditions)do they say you will be charged the £79 fee!once i realised what they were about i got in touch with my bank raising my concerns and telling them they had took payment without authorisation, money was taken out fri, got the money back from my bank tues!just dont believe that they will set you up with a loan with bad credit because all the lenders i applied to refused my loan anyway as they carried out a credit search!

I am SO glad, I read this: I wanted to take out a LOAN, and the whole £79 up front thing seemed a bit strange, and I literally NEARLY did it, and I am SO glad I didn't, its a complete CON. They take your £79, sell your info to other lenders, and you get a hundred or so emails and texts a day, they are (excuse my language) DODGY AS [censor]! AVOID!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE SCAMMERS

I was contacted on May 31st, via telephone by a mail presenting as Richard from Castle Finance Direct, Richard advised I had been approved for a loan I applied for. He stated that the money would be transferred to my account within the hour, and I would need to pay the first month installment of 118.00. Richard provided me with the banking details and then advised that I transfer the money. I transferred the 118.00, and then I received phone call advising that I needed to transfer another 199.00, at that point I stated, no I want my original transferred amount back because this seems like a scam. At that time, the rep denied ever receiving the 118 transfer. I emailed the rep three times attaching a screen shot, the rep still denied I sent the funds, and called me a liar. I advised the company that they would be reported at which time, Richard yelled if I report them, I will never get my money back. He then said that he never received any money and I better not call his company again or he will have me put in jail. I immediately, went to Epsom Police station and spoke with Officer Wills. Officer Wills heard the calls between myself and Richard because I had the calls on speaker. Richard yelled for me to get my money back from the police and leave him alone. I then showed Officer Wills my email, which attached the screen shot of the transaction, Officer Will verified what she saw, and I transmitted the email again. Richard placed me on hold and never returned to the phone. Officer Wills suggested I hang up and call back, when I called back Richard refused to give me the address to the company and disconnected the call.

Castle Finance Direct fraud

I used services of the company Castle Finance Direct, but they are fraud and stay away from them. They promised to arrange lenders for me. They took fee, which was about $ 80. I think they did nothing. After several weeks, I asked for refund and they promised to provide it. I waited couple of weeks, but nothing. I wonder if there are other people, who had the same experience. Can you write comments about your situation, please?
