Hastings Direct Personal Loans reviews (119)

Fantastic service

Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. Highly recommended, thank you Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Dated service

I would say they do what you really need, ie give you the money fairly promptly too which is a plus, however, there is no online/app access to view the state of the loan which is normally a given these days. If you want to make an additional payment or check the outstanding balance you have to go through the rigmarole of calling them. It feels like they are actively discouraging you from paying it off early. Hopefully this will be improved in the future. Reviewed on: 20th July 2022

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

Easy to apply and fair rates

Applying was easy, straight forward and rates offered were better than the banks. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2022

Straight forward process

Everything was as expected. No surprises. I'm pleased with the loan amount and interest rates were very competitive. My rate was illustrated before I applied and that was the rate I got, so very pleased. Reviewed on: 1st July 2022

Easy Application Process, Better Ongoing Management Required

The loan application process was easy, quickly dealt with and the funds made available within a very short time. I think beginning to end it only took me three days and I had funds in my account. What Hastings need to improve on is providing customers with an on line portal or an app whereby we can track our loans personally. When you visits the website there is no option to do this and the only access provided is via email which relies on people providing a response whereas with an on line account as so many loan companies have now, you can get a fairly instant answer and manage your account efficiently Reviewed on: 26th June 2022
