Review of the Hastings Direct, Personal loans:

Saved the day when my own bank let me down

I am a key worker and need a new car to get to work. My own bank a Spanish one beginning with letter S gave me the impression I was getting a loan at 3.1% I have a great credit rating and own my own house with no mortgage. When the loan was processed they actually changed the rate to 13.4 which put the monthly payments out of my reach. I had to go back to the car dealer and let him down. My dealer suggested I use Moneysupermarket.com to search for a better rate. Hastings Direct quoted me a rate of 5.1% and what they said didn't change. I can afford the monthly payments now and go to see the new car tomorrow. Felt relieved. Application was very straightforward and I would recommend. Reviewed on: 19th July 2022
