Review of the Hastings Direct, Personal Loans:

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

They are just using your informstion.they terrible company i have ever seen.do not trust them at all Reviewed on: 14th January 2024

A bit slow on initial process

Applied for a loan that was triple lock guaranteed via clear score so assumed it would be instant. Had to chase following day before they closed and they said they wanted to know what the loan was for, once they had this information I was approved immediately but then the money took 3 days to get to my bank. Previous loans from alternative companies have been instant via bacs Reviewed on: 15th November 2023

Very good company

When I did the application for a loan they make a decision straight away I’m very impressed with you guys keep up the great work and thank you Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

Thank the Lord for Easy Loan Application's

Firstly, I have an excellent credit rating. I was mucked about by both Tesco and Sainsbury's for a low car loan of 2.5k. Then I applied to Hastings. Bingo, 3 minutes later they are sending cash to my bank. Brilliant, thanks! Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

It was a great experience and recommend them. Reviewed on: 18th October 2023

Quick process and got advertised rate

Went through Experian and came through as pre approved loanfilled in few details and was approved immediately with the advertised rate money in bank in 2 days Reviewed on: 15th September 2023

The WORST customer experience journey, ever

Don't use them for you P/L - They are the worst company EVER to deal with - 1 week to even look at the app, accept you, sign the docs and the money is on it's way.... only then to request further info, and decline you. From a customer experience point, this is absolutely you could ever ever wish for! Disgraceful!! Reviewed on: 13th September 2023
