Review of the Santander, Loan:

View on product page

Misleading interest rates!

I applied for a loan with Santander to consolidate some other debts I have. My Experian credit score is 999 (Excellent). Equifax and TransUnion scores are also in the excellent band, so I thought I'd have a high probability of receiving the advertised 5.9% APR. I submitted my application, which was accepted - but at the astronomical rate of 18.9% APR!!! This is almost credit card levels of interest, and was far higher than the current loans I have. As such, I have NOT taken them up on this outrageous offer. I've now got a hard search on my credit file which is not good. It seems Santander are taking advantage of people. If someone with an excellent credit score is being offered this rate, I'd hate to imagine what others would get. Their website states up to 26.9% could be offered. Daylight robbery if you ask me!
