Helped increase my score and also helped me save up some money Reviewed on: 4th April 2024

Keeping my savings hostage

2
Advertised as a free way to improve your credit score whilst saving money. Fast forward 12 months, did my credit score go up, hard to tell as clear score changed how they score your credit. What about my savings? Well I've now got to pay £30 to get my £550 back from them because I won't sign up for a TSB bank account. Steer well clear of this company. Reviewed on: 25th July 2022

LoqBox is a good saving tool.

3
I used LoqBox to try and build my credit score. Despite saving with them for a year, my credit score didn’t change. I took out one of their packages which promises a 50-point increase or 5% interest on your savings, this cost £10pm. It is not worth it. Should you choose to build with LoqBox, don’t take out one of the packages. Reviewed on: 18th July 2022

They are refusing to give my money back

They are refusing to give my money back. I requested to close the account Friday morning at around 6am, we are now Monday at 16:32 and the online assistants keep saying to wait until the end of the next working day. This IS the end of the working day. When I pointed this out they cut me off from online chat. WHERE IS MY MONEY???? Reviewed on: 4th July 2022

The best palace to increase your score

Loqbox is the placd where you can start dreaming about your financial. Reviewed on: 29th June 2022

Don't do it

1
I started saving £50 per month, but they were also taking £2.50 per week. That's £130 for the year, £130 for themselves. Then when I cancelled after 1 month I only got £20 of my £50. Not really helping people who are trying to build credit. Basically making money off people who are struggling with credit issues. Reviewed on: 28th June 2022

Madness

1
You "save" with these crooks, they give no interest, they claim to improve your credit score, something they have no control over, they report you to credit agencies if you don't save Every month, they take half your savings for some 50 point promise scam, then charge you to return your money! You couldn't make it up! Reviewed on: 9th June 2022

Helps to build your credit score

I was with them for a year, there was a bug where the money didn't go to the new account, but this was resolved the same day i informed Loqbox Yes, if you want to use an existing account, they charge you £30, so why not just open a new account through them? Reviewed on: 6th June 2022

AVOID AT ALL COST

2
I signed up Loqbox for a year and saved £30 per month but at the end of the year I only got £220 back despite them saying you get all your money back!! They stated that I had signed up for the 50 points promise (that you don't get anyway) that costs £10 per month. It's cheaper to save the same amount in a local credit union at least you don't lose any money saving. They tried to tie me for another loqbox savings with another 50 promise. As far as I am concerned they've broken their 50 points promise and hidden the fact it actually costs you £10 per month for the so called promise. The FACT you DON'T GET ALL your money back in savings leaves a foul taste in the mouth for me. AVOID AT ALL COSTS Use your local credit union least you can save weekly/monthly and you get ALL your money back. They also can give you small locost loans that DON'T rip you off. I WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING LOQBOX TO ANYONE ☹️☹️☹️ Reviewed on: 5th May 2022

Scam - AVOID

1
Do not use this company. Read the other reviews - the company hides information on sign-up, their offering is not worth it. I even signed up to LOQBOX SPEND, only to find out you can't SPEND anything. It's a joke. AVOID. Reviewed on: 30th April 2022

£30 charge for your own savings!

1
They fail to explain anywhere in the signing up process that you WILL be charged £30 at least, to get your saving returned to you. Apparently its in the policy manual (that no one reads). Absolute SCAM, and for it to be recommended by Clearscore made me think it would be legit. DO NOT USE unless you're happy loosing at least £30 just to receive your hard earned money back. Not Good!
