Information grabbers

Information grabbers - takes all your details such as payslips / banking statements / bank account / card details on an approved signed loan then the company counter offers with half the money and 5x the length of agreement to try and reap in extortionate interest

Don’t waste your time seems very dodgy

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your application was provisionally accepted by Fernovo. They offer a maximum loan term of 6 months. If they have offered a lower amount, it is likely after completing an affordability assessment, which is an FCA requirement.
