Review of the London Capital Credit Union, Loans:

Extremely Disappointing Experience

1
Extremely Disappointing Experience – Felt Ignored and Dismissed I’m genuinely shocked and disappointed by my experience with London Capital Credit Union. I submitted a thorough loan application, including full documentation proving my affordability – permanent full-time employment at £45k per year, regular savings, and a profitable business. Despite this, I was declined without any clear explanation or meaningful engagement with the documents I provided. Every follow-up was met with vague, copy-pasted responses that showed little care or attention to my actual situation. Even after escalating, I was told my application didn’t evidence affordability – despite showing I could comfortably meet repayments within my salary alone. This process has been confusing, frustrating, and frankly quite distressing. As a member who has been saving with them, I expected a supportive and human approach – not cold bureaucracy. I no longer feel that this credit union operates in the spirit of supporting its members or providing fair access to financial products. Would not recommend based on my experience – especially to anyone hoping for a thoughtful or responsive service. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was so happy when London Capital Credit Union approved my loan. I’m on a low income, and banks kept rejecting me because of my poor credit history. I needed the money urgently, and if your income is low, it’s almost impossible to get a loan — or you end up with extremely high interest rates, sometimes up to 100%. London Capital treated me with respect, offered fair terms, and gave me real peace of mind. I’m truly grateful and would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation Reviewed on: 13th July 2025
