Tees Credit Union

Rubbish. Told me they would take repayments from child benefit money which was totally fine with me, they'd take the whole amount and put the spare into a saving account. Great. They then back tracked and evaluated my application on my overall income instead and rejected me.

OK, I so much want to be positive here. I truly believe the idea of a local credit union that understands the needs of the community around it should be supported in any way possible. Although this place advertises itself as an alternative to loan sharks, claiming to offer loans at far lower interest rates. However, this is dependant on whether you are accepted or not. In my case, I used to own my own business. My shop would make several hundred pounds a day. That was until I had a stroke ten years ago. Now things are a lot different. I don't have to disposable income I once had. However, I have made sure I paid any debt in full, on time (usually earlier). Because of this I have a perfect 32 year payment history of credit. Combined with being a member for around 8 months, saving with them every month, I thought I'd be an ideal customer. When a family emergency occurred, we thought we'd apply for a loan. During the process, they got my date of birth wrong and then took two weeks to decide I wasn't eligible for the loan. Well, that's their decision, but what it does show is that no matter how well you've maintained repayments over the years, and no matter what you've been through in the process, you still can't rely on them to help you out in an emergency. It also really doesn't help when the lady dealing with your complaint admits they made a mistake but can't do anything about it now. I guess the only people you can rely on are the doorstep lenders.

Brilliant! applied for a family loan earlier this year. Fast application and have also saved money while paying it back, withdrawal of my savings was in my bank same day. Very happy with the service and will continue to use
