Quick Quid - Avoid!!!!

[JumpTheGun]

Used Payday loans for a couple of years, I find them handy and a way of managing my finances, never had a problem.

 

Recently updated my bank, so contacted QuickQuid to update my details. They took my card information, which was ok and I paid my latest amount in full as usual. I then asked to update the associated bank account as well, a normal everyday thing I would have thought.

 

All of a sudden they want ID, Bank Statements, you name it. When asked why they were happy to take my new bank card and payment, but not the bank account number they claimed it was "two seperate systems" and "it's what the system is requesting". No valid reason for this was offered despite me politely requesting.

 

Understandably I told them I would blacken their name and they could stick their request where the sun doesn't shine. Avoid, avoid, avoid. If this is how a firm treats it's long standing customers (I have never missed a single payment ever), then I would advise EVERYONE to avoid them.

Title should read PDLs ... avoid.

Yes, maybe it should, but I don't have any problem with them personally, because I have been able to manage mine with no problem whatsoever. I understand I may be in a minority! But what I fail to understand is why they are making such a song and dance about updating my bank account details, when they had my card details off me already. Why should I have to prove who I am, when they have had my personal details on their systems for 2 years and never had a single late payment or incident in that time. I'm utterly bewildered, and wont be using them any more.

You might not. Tens of thousands of others do. PDL's need to be banned, or at the very least have proper regulations put in place to stop their borderline criminal business practices.
