The company that treats valued customers badly If you pay off your loans on time and without missing any payments they don’t loan to you again simple as that. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2025

Review of the Lending Stream, Short-term loan:

Awful Customer Service & Complaints Department

1
Lending stream offered me unaffordable loans. I made a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman who upheld my complaint. As part of putting things right, the Financial Ombudsman told Lending Stream they must remove adverse information from my credit report. This ruling was made in early 2020. Fast forward to 2022, the adverse information is still on my credit report. I contacted the complaints department and was told this would be rectified and would take 30 - 45 days. Fast forward again another 50 days and this information is still on my credit report. When I contact customer services they are no use. They claim the complaints department does not have a telephone number and can only be contacted via email. They claim they cannot transfer my call to their supervisor/manager. I was told by one agent that a supervisor/manager would call me back, and surprise surprise I never received a call back. I asked yet another agent what professional/trade bodies this company is a part of and they told me they weren't a member of any. Their website says differently. The agent could not confirm nor deny whether they were a member. If I don't receive a satisfactory response from this company I will have no choice but to raise my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman again, and I will also raise complaints to the Information Commissioners Office and any trade bodies this company might be a part of.

I have only had good experiences with lending stream, they are fair with their lending and won’t let you take too many out at one time which is great as it avoids a person getting into too much debt. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2025
