To be honest I was astonished they said yes ...... I'm self employed and work in the construction buisness and a month ago I landed a 58week contract. But had to have a week off with a bad back and the weather and bank holiday I was struggling to pay everything...... I needed £1000 quick to get the donkey off the back so to speak..... Frustrating was I had £750 trapped in PayPal until the 15th of April..... Anyway until a month or so ago my credit score was 958 but a few missed payments of one week has put me down to fair and 752!!. I applied for a small loan a couple of weeks back and got a no ..... Then Sunday lunchtime in desperation I tried Satsuma expecting the NO......actually it was the nicest Sunday afternoon hammering down with rain and wind!!!!......Satsuma looked at my predicament could see that the affordability was there and kindly excepted my application..... I earn a good salary so I can afford the premium that comes with these loans .... Thanks Satsuma....... You helped me when I needed it !!!!....... Top Company !!!
