Step One Finance Limited Avis 9

I faced major challenges with this company, because of their customer support, but I have to praise meazontrël_ who was crucial in assisting me.

Poor. Judging on someone's mental health

Can't withdraw my profits for weeks and no customer service to assist and re tri𝚎/ vis-ta was available to assist me!

Awful company..they employ underwriters only to disregard there recommendations.
They also took a week to decide that they wasn't going to approve my loan..

Currently in a high level worth of debt with payments totalling £1,500 a month, due to current LTV restrictions, FluentMoney found StepOne finance as a suitable lender, who would offer 95% LTV which equated to a £17,400 second charge/secured loan at £200 a month.

If successful this would have cleared £650 a month in payments so I would have been £450 a month better off, which I could have used to pay off the rest of my debt quicker.

However, due to the Director of lending at StepOne rejecting the application due to their concerns of my “affordability” in paying back the debt. I find it really contradicting that their websites boasts “traditional values of fairness, transparency and responsibility”.

I’m trying to get myself out of debt and I feel like I haven’t been given a fair outcome. I provided all the information, documents etc they asked for, waited days for their slow responses just to be told NO!!

Thanks a bunch.

We were told that because our credit score is ok and we have never missed any payments that we should not have a problem.
It is not Fluents fault but maybe they should have not made it sound like we had a fighting chance just to be told no by Step One.
Chris and Jordan from Fluent looked after us and they were good but in the end we did not stand a chance with Step One

Please do not take any financial products from this company. If you should fall into difficulty, it will ensure that it takes everything you own.

It used very manipulative tactics to persuade me to take out a secured loan on my home. It tricked me into not reporting to the Ombudsman. It is now trying to take my home from me, in the knowledge that I am unwell. Please be careful. Make good choices. Do not be forced into taking out any secured loan.
