About Mini Credit

Mini Credit can lend you between £100 and £400 from between 1 and 30 days. You can borrow up to £1500 once you have shown you can successfully pay back the smaller amount.

You can apply online, over the phone or by text (if you are an existing customer). To apply online, you need to complete their online application form. After, they will credit check you and verify your bank account by debiting £0.01. You will then be provisionally approved or rejected for the loan. They will send you a designated PIN number to your mobile upon receiving your application. They promise to give you a final decision within 15 minutes of receiving your application. You can then use the PIN number to log-in to access your electronic loan agreement which you will need to sign. The money can be transferred to you on the same day but you must complete the application process and sign your loan agreement by 4pm.

The charge for credit for this loan is £25 per £100 borrowed per month, which is one of the more expensive options on the payday market. Their speed to payout is quite quick so could be a good option if you need money quickly. If you do not pay your loan back when you say you will, there could be a lot of charges added onto your loan. Also, they have been known to be unreasonable with regard to setting up a payment plan if you are going to fall behind on your payments. People, in this case, have cancelled their cards so MiniCredit don't have access to their funds then they have to negotiate a plan with you, otherwise they don't get their money. There are a lot of customers who say that their application was approved, paid the £1 fee and then were declined at the last minute. However, most of the reviews form people who have received the money are overall, quite good.

Early Settlement Fee - £5.50

Other Fees

Card Fee to check validity - £0.01

 speed to payout  

I use these guys often now and so far no complaints. The common sense thing to do is don't apply if you can't repay! I always ensure 100% I can repay and check again before I apply. Instant payout is good (it is actually instant) so for that reason I stopped using payday uk and switched to these guys. The webiste is easy and quick to navigate and yeah...

I too have fallen foul of Minicredit. My £150 loan - minus £20 now stands at £765 after just 4months. Hopefully I will not end up as a concrete tower in some new motorway bridge!

I have been threatened with doorstep collectors. But you must be made aware that these collectors have no power whatsever. They cannot enter your premises, they cannot take any goods or even threaten to take items. This could only happen after a court victory in Minicredits favour - and I cannot see that happening. I have invited to them to take me to court, whether that happens only time will tell, but I am not unduly worried as personally I don't think they would have a leg to stand on if all the facts were presented by me.

A good site to visit is consumeractiongroup.co.uk, there is so much information on the site, it is free and they have a letters library section for any of us to use.

what ever you do do not use this company. how they are even still allowed to operate is beyond me. miss one payment 25 quid charge, day 2 50 quid charge. one week later 100 quid charge for debt collectors to come to your home. which is illegal unless you have been to court once, agreed to pay said amount then failed to. they will badger you for money but will not respond to your emails adding further debt to your loan. sttttttay away.
