Worst Company Ever !!!

Still constantly getting pestered by this pain of a company. Do you EVER listen to what people tell you, or do you just like to pester people for the fun of it ???

Really the worst company I have ever dealt with, told them hundreds of times, sorry I cant pay, do they acknowledge you - NO !!!

Do they reply - NO !!!

What do they do, email, text, SMS every ten minutes to say you should pay this bill, really bad company - do not get involved with them

Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback.

We're always here to help if you're unable to make a repayment - there are a number of options we have available to put a solution in place.

It can take a few days for us to get back to you if you're corresponding by email, so it can be a good idea to call on freephone 08002061560 for a faster resolution.

Please get in touch if you wish to discuss your account further.

Thanks,

Hannah

Break their agreements !!

Got excepted for a loan and got sent the agreement and dates. To me that’s a contract . Then I get a message saying it’s declined. This company has broke their agreement and can’t be bothered to reply to their email. Don’t waste your time ! Can I also add I had an email saying my money was in its way. Does that sound like a decline !!!! Full of rubbish !

Hi Jen,

Thanks for your feedback.

Although you do sign a loan agreement, the loan application is not complete until we have completed various checks. Your loan decision may not be reached until later in the application process.

Please get in touch if you'd like for us to provide you with more information about our loan applications.

Thanks,

Hannah

Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback.

We go through a lot of checks with each loan application, and sometimes will decline an application later in the process.

If you'd like to discuss this further, you can email applications@piggy-bank.co.uk or call us on freephone 08002061560.

Thanks,

Hannah

Irresponsible lending and poor complaints handling

I has been nearly 2 weeks since I accepted and offer of redress from PiggyBank for a partially upheld complaint on irresonsible lending. I sent my bank details to them 12 days ago, I then had to send them again 6 days ago and have had no response since and the redress has not been sent to me. It is unacceptable that it has taken nearly 2 weeks for this to be settled after they have admitted irresponsible lending. To say I am unhappy is an understatement.

Hi Kayleigh,

Thanks for your feedback.

As I'm sure you're aware, the complaints procedure can take some time, and these emails are looked at in chronological order, in order to ensure that we are treating each customer fairly.

You can find out more about this process here - https://www.piggy-bank.co.uk/customer-complaints-handling-process/

You can also call us on freephone 08002061560. As emails correspondence can be slower, we'd recommend calling for a faster resolution.

Thanks,

Hannah

One loan shows twice on credit report

Somehow my outstanding loan shows on my credit file twice? One is up to date and the other is showing as overdue.
Bit cheeky as there was only the 1 loan and this is affecting my score.
