Had a few loans with cash genie and never had any problems. The only reason any company would take funds from your account is if you signed a consumer credit agreement normally online. IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ THERE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEY WOULD SEE THAT EVERY SINGLE LOAN THEY HAVE EVER TAKEN OUT HAS A DEBT AUTHORITY SECTION WHICH SAYS THE COMPANY CAN TAKE FUNDS WHEN YOU GO OVERDUE.
Do you really think pay day loans would still be going on if they where acting illegally? Think about it really.

I had exactly the same thing happen to me with cash genie. I borrowed £150 they took £15 off this so i could get my loan the same day. On my payday I phoned them up and paid in full and they still took six payment's of £156 in one day. I reported this to my bank and they contacted the fraud department who refunded me. I did have to close my bank account due to this and will never ever used them again.

When I actually phoned cash genie they where very unhelpful. do not use.

I've taken out three loans with Cash Genie over the space of 7 months, each time for £150 due to unforeseen expenses and I have to say I have never had a problem with them. Customer service was very friendly and helpful and I never had any problems with them paying off the loans.
Would recommend them.

me an my partner took a loan out 4 150 quid dey only give us 130 dey took money out of our bank in jan 150 quid, i didnt mind but i split with my partner an today dey got my bank card details and took 180 quid out and were rude an even checked my facebook, the loan aint in my name i have 2 kids an now today i have no money to supply 4 dem

My partner and I took a loan out with them for £150. When I unexpectedly became pregnant and had to leave work we rang them and arranged a payment plan. A few months later we applied for a small loan with another company everyday payday to top our rent they refused us but still shared personal information with cash genie, which then with no warning cleared my account completely of £450!!! Leaving me with nothing to pay my rent! When I rang and explained I was heavily pregnant and facing homelessness they were extremely arrogant and basically said they didn't care! And told me blatant lies that my partner had agreed to this when I know 1million percent that he did not!! Do not use this company.

With reference to your comment about applying for another payday loan with everyday payday.....they are Cash Genie in disguise!

I would not recommend cash genie for a payday loan as my husband had 25 transaction taken out of his bank in one day don't know where they get there rates from they give you 100 pounds and take 450 out of your bank without your say saw we are in contact with bank as this is fraud and should not be able to go into your account and take this money waiting to hear from fraud section at our bank

Used cash genie for loan, missed one payment by a couple of days as working abroad, they did manage to take the money by making small withdraws from my bank which was not a problem, rung them as soon as I got home customer service where great cancelled charges and rolled account which is what I asked them to do more than helpful and polite. I would recommend them but like any loan company they want and you have to pay them back

The £20 same day fee is a bank fee I believe, and not related to their company. Anytime I've tried to get money in same day I too have been charged £20.

I took a small loan out with Cash Genie last Summer for £120 as I was going on holiday and felt it would be adequate/sufficient cover if I needed any additional funding whilst I was away.

I missed my first payment with Cash Genie and I was therefore hit with a charge which I felt was fair enough. I decided to rollover my payday at the cost of interest but requested that the full amount to be taken on the next payday which was agreed.

Months down the line, I noticed that they hadn't took the full payment and had continued to charge me at the rollover rate instead. I rang them up and spoke to a member of customer services who said he'd noticed they'd dropped a clanger and would ask his supervisor to see if I could just pay the remaining amount of the original loan. I spoke to the same person twice and he never got back to me.

I emailed Cash Genie using the address based on their website numerous times to explain the situation. However, as like before, they continued to just take the interest. I closed down my bank account to stop them taking any further payments which resulted in them hassling me with calls, texts and emails.

I rang Cash Genie and spoke to a different member of customer service who despite being quite understanding put me through to one of the managers. He showed no consideration or understanding towards the situation I found myself in. He made me an offer just to pay the original amount plus normal rate of interest which I found offensive given the fact it was an error on their behalf. After I turned down his offer, he was quite rude, abrupt and threatened me with court action.

I spoke to someone called Joanne Connor Bauptisa, who after a long conversation with I reluctantly agreed to pay £20 over the course of six months despite the fact Cash Genie had already recieved the full amount by just taking interest from me over the months. She said she would send out a letter to confirm the agreement we had made and would also attach the company's bank details so that I could make a manual payment each month.

Needless to say I didn't receive any letter, I've since rang to speak to Joanne and emailed her to which I've had no response. I've done the same with other members of the collection team and none of them have bothered to reply. Instead, they've continued to send me text messages and have also sent a couple of letters just to mount up the interest and charges.

Having read reviews on this company (not just here, but elsewhere too) I've perhaps been a bit lucky that they haven't ate into the money in my bank account. However I do sympathize with those who have had the misfortune of dealing with this company.

I'm already looking to get the financial ombudsman and trading standards involved in my own case. If anyone has any other suggestions then I would be keen to know.

I too have been stung by charges-asked for 75pounds got 55pounds saying 20pounds for bank fee then i they say i owe 92pounds but i want to know why all of a sudden is that there website is no longer accessible? Do i have to stop my card?

It's been up and running all week. They may have been down for maintennance, but they're not open on a Sunday anyway so it makes sense for them to run maintennance on that day.

BYE CASH GENIE

after finding out the full extent of what your company does, it is now my mission in life to pressure whoever it takes to get the laws changed to stop you preying on the disadvantaged.

my daughter is one. 150 pond cost her almost 500 within a month, as she had no overdraft facility but you get round this with cheque guarantee card and take 50 pound every 5 mins, a further 300 pound was added in charges by bank.

She now has to get a loan so the 150, or 130 after your 20 pound same day fee, will now cost her 44 pound a month for the next 2 yrs!!!!!!

I am confident you will be stopped and if i can accelaerate that in any way i will

please ignore all positive comments here,they are obviously posted by the company themselves.such posts have been removed from other forums!

I had a number of loans with this company which were all paid back on time however the final loan I had with this company unfortunately went unpaid due to me losing my job before the repayment could come out of my account. I attempted on a number of occasions to set up a repayment plan but they were not interested ignoring my communications with them. I am currently on benefit while I look for another job and without warning they took 7 payments of £10 out of my account without my authorisation and have left me now without a penny to feed myself for the next two weeks !! They are ok all the time you are paying them their £25 on the £100 each month but as soon as you have any difficulties they add on £100's in charges!!

Have had several loans with cash genie theyve been helpful, quick service and nice on phone. dont know what the fuss is all about!! everyone who posts bad stuff has gone overdrawn i reckon, when do they learn?!? cash genie blog is interesting too!

Not too bad, it was my 3rd payday kloan and it was all veyr similair to the last 1 i had.

it was quick but apart from that, fine.

fiona

Cash Genie are the only payday loan company ive come across who are nice on the phone. they speak to me on a personal level and am more than happy to go with them again!!

Thank u CG x

Took money out of my account without asking (illegal). Rude on the phone, the manager was worse!!

Watch this space, no, actually watch 'Watch Dog' they'll be on there in the coming weeks.

TH***ES, THE LOT OF THEM!!!

Cash Genie did annoy me when they needed to see my debit card but i suppose it was my fault for not having at least 50p in it for them to do their check.

Still have a loan with them and the rolloer option is helping over xmas.

I used this company twice before and repaid in full both times.

I do not believe in rolling loans over however it can help certain people.

Hi,

Just to let you know Cash Genie are no called CGUK.

I just phoned Cash Genie (Intime Finance) up to ask why they have taken £337.32 out of my account within 1 day within 29 different transactions, I explained to them that I was willing to sort this out with them as i know i owe them but for them to take out all the money i had for xmas was wrong very wrong and when asked why they said because we had to and its not my christmas they are ruining it is the one of my little girl !!! and they said that is not their problem - total disrespectful and I will never use them or reccommend them to others ever again

Ihave just had 375 quid taken out of my acount by this company - i had a loan off them ans have been trying to pay them back but instead of speaking to me they took out 20 different payments of 10.65 within 1 day - i am struggling at the mo and was illing to sort this out but now they have taking all the money i had for xmas - so thanks

All these bitchy posts are about them taking out a payday loan...

Now a payday loan is a quick loan fix until you next get paid!

Surely you know if you can pay back your quick fix loan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Short story is..... companies like this are expensive... Yes... BUT they are only there for a short term cash flow problem! If you cannot afford to pay them back within the maximum of 30 days then don't take the loan!!!!

i've been done the same way too, when my hours were seriously cut at work i arranged(or so i thought) to pay back my loan with CGUK each month at a rate i could afford! However they have been ransacking my account whenever they feel like it, taking whatever they feel like, making me penniless! when i rang to ask why they were the rudest people i had ever spoken to! and the manager was worse!!! ive had to cancel my debit card to stop these illegal transactions! im furious with people who come onto these forums and start preeching!!!!! what right do you have you stupid person! crawl back into whichever sad pit you climb into at night. it's NOT fair when people take money WITHOUT authorization or warning!

The same thing happened to me this morning, where they took £40 pounds from my account. I did take out a loan with cash genie but now I'm on a Debt Managment program.Cash Genie is being paid by my Debt Managment company but now they've passed over my accoun to this intime finance which I can't seem to find on the internet.Now my bank can't do anything about it because these people have got my card details. People be careful and don't take out payday loans from any of these phoney companies. They only want to take from you and put you in more debt.

i thought i would comment AGAIN as i commented in the past regarding my account having problams...im now commenting to show them praise as they refunded me and my loan has been repaid in full...if u feel theres a problam just get in touch and im sure they will try there best to satisfy your needs..thank you cash genie.

Do not use this company they took money out of my bank via a different debit card they got the details from their sister company paydayiseveryday who I never had a loan from. They left me and my children with no money also the staffs are very rude

I have fallen behind with my repayment and they are threatening to contact my Employer to ask for the money to be taken directly out of my wages. They also attempt to take money out of my bank account. I would gladley come to some sort of re-payment agreement, but now I am reluctant, after reading that they will empty my bank account. Maybe I should just let the Courts decide on how I should re-pay the £200 (which has now become over £400) due to vast interest rates and late fees being applied. Any suggestions? Oh and by the tone of some of the replies stated on this page, I believe that the "guests" may be, in fact employees of Intime Finance, because this is the same attitude and tone they take when speaking to them.

why did u go to these kind of company in the first place, all pay day companies are ripp off if you have a debit card you could have apply for a loan or overdraft from the bank, if you cant pay it let them go to the court and you explain to the judge the interest rate they are charging most likely you will get away with it.

Even though the interest rates are high.. these companies are not illegal and in most cases the companies do have an agreement signed by the user. So the cases in all likelihood will stand and unless you do not have a valid reason.. it is most wise to pay the money you owe to these people.

i took out a loan with cash genie of which i have missed payments, but also paid as much money as i can to try and pay my loan off. i have today received a bank statement advising i now owe the bank £800 due to cash genie trying to take money a minimum of 6 times a day EVERYDAY that isnt there. his is totally unacceptable and i will be reporting this.

I had the same situation I had agreed to pay £20 a week and gave them bank details to take this money. Yesterday they proceeded to empty my bank account by 5.30am yesterday and were extremely rude when I rang to complain. I have had to cancel my bank card to avoid this happening again.

I recently learned that they changed their company name to Cash Genie UK.

ive have just been to my bank and this company have taken over £300 from my account 2 transactions of £10 and then over the next 2 days they took over 6 payments of £50...ive just been on the phone to natwest who fraud team will be in contact with this company and also they have informed the police.....!!!!

hi please can you tell me the outcome natwest have informed the fraud team for me also, techniucally this is theft is it not.? thanks

They did relower 2 thimes my relower day is today,wanted pay full and they have charged me again for the relower.Do not use them

NOT reccommend

Why is it that the only people on here that moan are people that take out loans think it dont matter about paying it back when they should and then cry lik litte girlz. I have nver found anyone that crys like a little girl if they borrow and pay back on time. Rishi you cry becuase you tried to rob and got caught

Guys.. no personal attacks here please.. And I think the point Rishi wanted to make was that they broke a promise made to him. Of course lenders are entitled to collect their money but that should be done with some dignity. Also, users here are recommended to make their own decisions about going with a lender or not and not rely too much on any generalization as pointed out by some commenters here..

I was on holiday in tenerife and run outta money, try gettin thru to your bank abroad for an overdraft, grrrr. I found cashgeni applied and had £200 in my bank in an hour. wicked service

I have used CashGenie 4 times so far, each time I borrow an amount I can afford to repay and repay the loan. I would reccommend CashGenie to anyone

I have always got along well with CashGenie, I borrow money, pay it back on time and get a credit increase.

I took out a loan of 200 pounds with cash genie 3 months ago, i missed 2 payments and they sent loads of letters asking for payment, in currently going to court for bancrupsy and spoke to there sales team and agreed a payment of 40 pounds i owed them 430 pounds then the next day they took out 240 pounds without permission and now dont have enough for bancrupsy or court. I spoke to them and they said they are autherised to take the money and they have scrapped the intrest charges and closed the account. im not impressed leaving me in the mess with court coming up shortly i will let the court know about this re-payment of theres.

You moron its called a payday loan because you pay it back on payday not 3 months later, you cannot get a loan from a bank because your a terrible risk, if you cannot afford £200 on payday you need to re-think your life, and stop borrowing money!

I work within the finance industry and I'm sorry but I had to alaugh at some of these stories. I borrowed money to go bankrupt and they took their money back. I owed Genie money and they took it back and now i'm angry?? Why did you not just pay it back when you where supposed too?

i DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE PEOPLE ATALL...THEY DNT APPRICIATE THET FACT WE HAVE TO LIVE...I HAD A LOAN OF 100 POUNDS AN MISSED A FEW PAYMENTS WHICH ADDED CHARGES AN INTREST TO MY ACCOUNT..WHICH CAME UP TO 290..YES 290 OFF A 100 POUNDS LOAN...I DIDNT HAVE ANY MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT WHICH I TOLD THEM...AND STILL THEY WENT AHEAD AND TOOK FRM MY BANKLEAVE IT IN ARREARS PLUS THE LAON STILL WASNT PAID..I THEN CLLED UP TO SEE WAHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE MAN SIMPLY SAID..THERES NUTHING HE CAN DO..HE LITERALLY SAID AN I QUOTE '' WE HAVE GOT OUR MONEY NOW SO ITS NOT MY PROBLEM'' I FEEL THESE PEOPLE HAVE ARE DODGY AND DONT EVEERRRR USE THEM..IM STILL SUFFERING AND SO IS MY SON BECAUSE OF THERE INCONSIDERATION.X

I would advise people not to use this Company. I was having a few problems when the payment date was due and they contacted my employer and told them I had broken the law by obtaining money through deceipt. They also bombarded me with telephone calls at home, at work, and also harrassed another person who was working with me and told the person that I owed them money. It caused me to have a nervous breakdown. They also operate under the name.
