not a fair company

I had my child benefit directly paid to them. I also made extra payments whenever I could also, even though I didnt need to. I thought by doing this they would see I am reliable and be able to give me a second loan once I had paid off my first. They declined me. I think its wrong to accept all the interest on top, accept early payments when they dont plan on giving a second one after proving yourself to be reliable. I also have my personal child benefit money directly to them so was shocked when I was turned down after being so sensible and trying to pay them off sooner. Highly dissapointed. They mentioned how there lending policies may of changed but I just didnt think it was fair at all. When I first signed up some members of their team were struggling to send people the right form in order to change the child benefit account details and helped a lady out with that also, who was very grateful that i helped. So just feels like a slap in the face Read more Read less

    Straightforward, easy to understand terms

    Easy application process online before speaking to an advisor who explained the process in simple and easy to understand terms. Straightforward from start to finish.

I have used boom multiple times now when I've found myself in abit of a pickle and need some financial help, they have great customer service and super quick responses. I will definitely be using boom again if I ever find myself needing help financially, especially considering how good value they are and with a family loan it also helps to save abit of money for when your all paid off!
