I very much doubt ill take them up on the offer though as i need more than £500 and i think their interest rate was something obscene like 110%. </p> http://www.cheaploans.co.uk/forum/topic/case-studies-required-have-you-been-caught-out#post-126 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:33:17 +0000 victoriarichards 126@http://www.cheaploans.co.uk/forum/ <p>Hi there, </p> <p>I work for the FT and we are hoping to talk to people who have responded to letters that claim to offer an instant loan (companies such as 'Provident', for example, with the lure of 'cash for christmas'), but then charge extremely high rates of interest, or charge premium rates for calls but don't actually come up with the loan. I'd really be interested in hearing more about your experiences so if you could please get in touch over email <a href="mailto:victoria.richards@ft.com">victoria.richards@ft.com</a> that would be great. Many thanks. </p>
