Kingston Financial - What are the common complaints against them?

this guy called my phone name alex waston he said he was coming to my job and take farhter action if i dont pay the money i payed my 289 back so whats the problem

I applied for a Loan last week from kingston financial last week 8/2010 they called me and told me the money would be in my account the next day. the money was not and still have not been deposit into my account. what I need to do they have all my personal information?

I requested a loan from Kingston financial 2 days ago the guy who calked was already unfriendly while verifying my information cause he acted like I was practically stealing the money from them and they hadn't even process the loan. The beginning of the call he kept saying I'd get the money next day well I have yet to receive the funds and it's almost near the end of the cancelation period, the man didn't mention to the very end of the call that it could take up to 3-5 days I needed the money yesterday what's the point of getting a loan when by the time it gets here it will be my payday again and they are just gonna take the full thing out of my accept and my bills didn't get paid. Also the finance charges are already ridiculous $89 for a $200 loan other companies charge $89 on $400 loans so it's really about $20 - $22 at a regular service per every hundred in interest. I have even been approved for more at a company called check n go I should have gone there first cause Kingston financial is a scam.

Funny that all you people moan here yet no one has reported this company to the authorities. I was informed that they are based in london uk. Most of their staff are foreigners....only few times you willhear a proper english accent. They operate from a company called

BOTH KINSTON FINANCIAL AND BRIGHTON FINANCIAL ARE LOCATED TOGETHER. SAME COMPANY DIFFERENT NAMES. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO NEEDED MORE INFO...HERE IT IS.

Did you ever get the money ?

I took out a $200 loan with Kingston Financial as well, they explained the terms of the loan (as ridiculous as they are) but I was desperate and I took it. They deducted $89 from my account each payday until I could pay the loan in full. Took me about 4 paydays. Yes they are a rip-off but i signed up for it. Nothing was hidden, they did not take more than they said they would, they sent me reminder emails and the telephone agents were not rude in my situation. Why would they be? They are getting over like fat rats.

i did the same thing with this company. i just paid it off 2 weeks ago and now are still debiting my account. i been trying to get in contact with them but no answer. am have to pay a stop payment with my bank so they can stop drafting my account. this company is a spam.....

they are just as bad as the others plus they all have the accounts payday loans go through. they take out $$$$ no matter if you took out a loan or not with them

Please don't go to this company it's a scam, no legit company ask for money up front you don't pay for loans. I got scammed one time not by this company but one just like it, I sent them 700$ and i was suppose to get a 10.000 $ loan and it was suppose to be in certified mail to my house. When i didn't get it i called them an they told me it was a problem an they would send my money back when i didn't recieve it i called them an no one answered so i email them a threaten letter and they got scared and promised to send my money and never did, when i called and emailed again it was like they dissappered so please everyone reading this please please don't get lowered in my these crooks never send money to get money even in lottery too.Thanks conserned citizen

Those of you that are thinking about using this company DON'T!!! This company is being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission and the FDIC for fraud. I am an attorney and I strongly advise anyone NOT TO USE THIS COMPANY!! Those of you that has used them and currently are trying to get your money back, seek an attorney or go to legal aid for help.

First of all I am an attorney, and it's against the law in every state for a creditor to come to your job to demand money. You could of called the police and had the gentleman arrested and then sued for your balance to be credited back to your account in a small claims case. And you would of WON because he came to your job. Don't ever let a creditor harrass you or threatned you that they are coming to your job or calling your boss, it's against the law and a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practice
Good Luck

Kingston Financial Services...the Payday Lender..actually did what they promised: I applied for a loan, they deposited the money, and the auto-debits have been occurring.

However..AND THIS IS CONJECTURE...AND I HAVE NO PROOF...But...due to a medical situation with my family, I have had to reallocate my financial resources and thus have missed 3 payments.

Fast forward, I received a phone call from someone identifying himself as Officer Chris William (who scrupously avoided directly saying he was affiliated with /or sworn law enforcement) who indicated he was with a "law office-Cyber Crimes Unit" and if I ignored the call, a team of sheriff's deputies would be waiting for me (again, avoided saying what these deputies would do once they visited me) and my employer and supervisor would be apprised of the "lawsuit" that has been filed against me. He left a phone number 425-905-1389. Person did have an accent. Of course someone naive would be panic stricken because this individual said all of the correct -key words and inferences (lawsuit, "Cyber Crimes Unit", "deputies"...yada...yada..yada). Well I ignored the deadline and gee...no deputies. I also contacted the "owner' of that phone number and indicated that a user of the number is employing questionable tactics; and I also added a post to reverselookupdatabase.com..who also had a number of complaints against this 425 phone number.

Now I am NOT saying this is affiliated with Kingston Financial Services. I'm just pointing out a coincidental event. Draw your own conclusions!!

(Sadly,.,,these firms are needed because in the U.S. now, the unsecured ,personal loan market is "gone" if you don't have a credit score of greater than 600 (more like > 630) . You are subprime and if you need a loan, you cannot get one. I work for a large financial corporation (and I mean LARGE) and the chairman recently stated that the subprime market was not a market he wanted to be in (though he was talking about mortgages but the underlying message applies to all markets). Sadly, if it weren't for Kingston and a couple of the other PDLs, I would not have been able to help my family.

whatevs.i do know that if that was your only loan then yes kingston either sold,or gave your info to them so how do you feel about this uk scummy pdl now?because that is what they are.a scummy uk pdl that deserves nothing but scorn,and contempt.cheerlead for them elsewhere will you.

Kingston financial are also know as brigthon fnl global call centres in the uk they will be changing their name again to stop usa customers catching on

I got the loand with kingston financial to help me out of a serious situation. everything was fine until some more life changes occured. So like alot of people taxes came back so i am trying to pay off everyone now. i am on the phone with kingston finacial as i type this and all i asked was for a simple receipt to show that i made a payment and i know longer have a balance. and the refused to do it. the rep wants to give me an excuse of his boss is on hoiliday and know superviser is in the office. i feel this company has poor business ethics and need to get a clue people want reciecpts and need proof. never again will i use them
