Pixie Loan’s Fraud Watch

Here at Pixie Loans we do everything we can to ensure that the privacy of our applicants is secure and safe. We take the privacy of our customers very seriously and we have put this page together with information, guidance, a few helpful hints and tips to ensure your information is safe and you are not a victim of fraud.

Fraud can sometimes be very difficult to spot, some fraudsters take the name of genuine companies and pose as them. These fraudsters will then make cold calls to their victims promising loan details that don’t really exist. The fraudsters will then invite the victim to part with the cash through voucher schemes like UKASH VOUCHERS and promising that a loan will certainly follow. Please be well aware of these types of scams.

Note: No one from Pixie Loans or any financial partner will ever contact you and request to send money or ask you to buy any products prior to receiving your loan.

If you think you have been a victim of a fraud then there are some very helpful steps you can take to protect yourself and resolve the situation you may be in.

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF CONSOLIDATING EXISTING BORROWING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE EXTENDING THE TERMS OF THE DEBT AND INCREASING THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU REPAY.

Credit is available to 18 years and over. All loans are subject to status. A short-term, payday loan should be used for short-term financial needs only, not as a long-term financial solution. Never borrow an amount that cannot be repaid on your next pay period date. Missing repayments may have a negative effect on your credit rating and make it more difficult for you to obtain credit in the future.

The operator of this website is not a lender or short term loan provider and does not make loan or credit decisions. We are a credit broker, providing loan matching services and help connect consumers interested in obtaining short-term payday loans, installment loans, guarantor loans and secured loans in amounts between £100 and £5,000 with participating lenders or brokers in our network.

We do not charge you any fees to use our websites, services or products. Any commission received by us is paid by participating lenders or brokers if you choose one of their products or for referring you to them.

If you are matched with a participating lender or broker, you may be charged a fee directly by the participating lender or broker. Please be sure to read their terms and conditions before proceeding with any loan arrangement.

We work exclusively with a selected group of lenders and brokers to offer you a range of credit and loan products. We may receive a percentage of the loan amount as a commission from a loan provider or broker if you take out one of their products and/or we may receive a fee for introducing you to them.

You can request details of these commissions or fees, by emailing us. We will then provide you with the precise amount of the commission or fee or, where that amount is not known, the likely amount. Please note that the lender or broker we direct you to may not offer the cheapest loan that is available to meet your needs.
