Agreed a loan and then, after both myself and company signed on it, they backed out in the final checks phase - SURELY YOU SHOULD DO THE "FINAL" CHECKS BEFORE YOU OFFER A CONTRACT TO SIGN !!! They were slow and ultimately rubbish. Avoid them. Reviewed on: 8th October 2025

Easy, upfront loan agreement

I was pre-approved for this loan on a comparison site. I went through the application process and was offered the full amount and at the APR I was pre-approved for, which hadn't happened with other lenders. I was able to review the offer before accepting it, which again hadn't happened with other lenders and involved ringing them to cancel and return the money. I've logged into the 'My Loan' portal and it all looks very easy to navigate with options to make extra payments outside of the direct debit payments. I would only like to suggest they have a section to change the direct debit, as the account I needed the money in, isn't the one I want to repay the loan from. Reviewed on: 26th September 2024

Easy process and Hastings offered pre-approved

It was an easy process and Hastings offered loan from Comparison website as ‘pre-approved.’ Straightforward process to apply. Money within 3 days was fine. Reviewed on: 25th September 2024

I was in great need, so I used experien to search for eligible loans. I went with the first few recommendations at it was an eye sore. The interest were killing and the process was hard. I had to give access to all my credit card accounts, earnings, savings etc. I then saw Hastings as the last suggestion, and decided to give it a try. My mind was blown! The application was the easiest I have ever seen! They gave me the loan WITHOUT harassing calls, or demands to upload all sorts. Their AI is top notch! The best part is the interest. The interest over 3 years is about £1500! What?! That is even cheaper than a credit card. The most affordable rates that the common man can afford. I am just happy I found them. I can only pray they remain like that. Reviewed on: 24th September 2024
