Greetings all, I’ve come across some pertinent information regarding those dodgy loan shark operators that seem to be plaguing us all with unsolicited texts. Check out these websites: - www.theonlinepeopleuk.co.uk - www.mrborrower.co.uk - www.fasteasyandonlineuk.co.uk - getaloanfaster - www.securethatloan.com/ The individual orchestrating this avalanche of spam messages goes by the name of Martin Nolan, and you can reach him at 0845 524 0162. The company he’s associated with goes by Sandhurst Associates, located at: Advantage Business Centre, 132-134 Great Ancoats St, Manchester, Lancashire, M4 6DE Additionally, I’d stumbled upon this information via Yahoo. The number is reportedly linked to a firm named getaloanfaster. They peddle data on individuals who have been turned down for loans and rake in a commission for any customers they can nab through that data. The proper registration address for Sandhurst Associates is 139 Red Bank Road, Bispham, Blackpool FY2 9HZ, which also happens to be where their accountants, Stanley Wilkinson & Co, are based. If you wish to reach the accountants, their number is 01253 350700. If you’re interested in their data purchasing operations, Sandhurst Associates can be contacted at 0845 413 0570. They’ve only recently established themselves since July and the directors involved are Alex James, David Maude, and Paul Livesey. Curiously, they seem to be absent from the Financial Services Authority’s register. As for the directors associated with getaloanfaster/Sandhurst Associates, they include: - www.securethatloan.com/ - www.securethatloan.com/ Those directors are: Sally Maude, Sandra James, Linda Stewart, Paul Livesey, Alex James, David Maude, and Paul Livesey again. I also found a link to Paul Livesey’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Livsey/613997023 And here’s an advertisement linked to him: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=196912700857&v=info I strongly encourage folks to drop them a message and express your frustrations about those constant texts. It must be infuriating, especially when you reply with ‘stop’ only for them to store your number as active, subsequently bombarding you with messages from other numbers, later selling your ‘active’ info to yet another party. # bob @ 2011-11-09 21:46 Your comment is awaiting moderation. Well, look at that: www.securethatloan.com MARTIN NOLAN Silverstone Innovation Centre, Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, NN12 8GX, United Kingdom +44.8703505044 It appears Secure That Loan, previously known as Get A Loan Fast, operates as a loan broker based in Manchester, UK. They’ve been hawking their services via SMS. A UK blogger, James Wiseman, conducted a thorough investigation into their practices, revealing that they employ multiple identities to funnel traffic to their main website, securethatloan.com, and even own www.securethatloan.co.uk. Their various phone numbers have been listed for contacting or sending texts, a lengthy list indeed: 07521599876 / +44 7521599876 --> and many more… It must be noted that these companies don’t actually extend loans themselves; rather, they act as intermediaries that charge hefty fees. The APRs are typically well above the standard lending rates, and the lenders they scramble to find for you impose a myriad of terms and conditions. Oh, and regarding the opt-out text ‘STOP’ they ask you to send, be aware that it usually incurs a fee of at least £1.50 plus your standard SMS charge. While some might eventually cease the barrage of messages after you opt-out, others will persist, and they’ll go on to peddle your information to other subsidiary firms, perpetuating the hassle. I myself have received upwards of 50 messages from these online leeches. Trust me, the best course of action is to refrain from engaging - do not respond or make calls! This will only muddy the waters as they will mark your number as active, thereby selling it off to additional companies. It’s utterly disturbing, and given I never opted out originally while registering with the TPS, I’m unable to enforce that now. Do not engage, do not call, and absolutely do not reply to their texts! www.financialwebreviews.com/20110805149/loan-lenders/secure-that-loan www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=196912700857&v=info And lo and behold, it gets better! There's supposedly a customer ‘review’ on their site from someone who ‘allegedly’ secured a loan. (If you glance at the link on the right side, there’s a hazard icon labelled with “info.” Clicking on it reveals, “This review has been generated from a computer sharing the same IP address as one used by the Company.”) “I needed a loan to consolidate all my debts into one manageable payment. I liaised with Paul, who assisted me in determining what I could repay. I had a charging order on my property, for which he helped me obtain a settlement figure, and he also informed the lender that I would be paying this off. They accepted this condition as long as it was paid directly, which I had no qualms with. Cheers for all the support, I will recommend you to anyone I come across.” Posted: 27 Jan 2010 Andrea Thompson, Manchester Bravo, Andrea, what a glowing review! www.freeindex.co.uk/profile%28secure-that-loan%29_204713.htm
