World Finance Loan - Annetha Powell / Clydesdale Bank London Mr Davidson Defrauded me of my money by having to pay fees until it popped out of my ears! and still no loan! East London South Africa
I have applied for a loan with World Loan Finance for R50 000. At first a Mr. Khumalo assisted me with the documents and procedures. I had to make a payment of R999.00 for the legal contract before the transaction can proceed. After I have filled in the form and paid the "Bank costs" of R2935.00 into a Mr Dladla's account. I then received an e-mail stating that I had to pay an amount of R2050 to the British Goverman due to fact that I needed a non residential tax clearance. Unfortunately it took somehow 3 days to reach me and he did not ask for this amount again. Mr Khumalo then told me that I would receive the loan. This was in June 2013 A cheque of R54 500 was paid into my account. The cheque however was made out to a E Sitholo person. My Bank stopped this. I contacted Mr Khumalo and hd told me that he would sort it out. The following day I received another cheque in the amount of R11 500. which again was stopped by my bank due to the fact that there was insufficient funds in the account. Then I did not hear anything further. This was in Julye 2013. I suffered the inconvenience of a 14 days hold on my account for the cheques to clear and my funds to be available to me again. Then I contacted the Company and Mrs Powell then asked me to send all correspondence to her as she could not find any records. Which I did and then was told that Mr Khumalo fled the Company and they were looking for him as he defrauded a lot of people.
We started again by paying the R2950.00 bank costs to Clydesdale Bank of London and payment was successfull. Then got an e-mail to inform me that I had to make a payment of R4834.08 for transfer fees to the HM Treasury department. I misunderstood this and thought that the difference of R1884.08 had to be done which I did to Mr Nijilo account. Then I got a telephone call urging me to stop the transaction as Mr Khumalo asked this person to draw a large amount of money from the Company's account which they stopped in time. My money could not be retrieved. Mr Khumalo and his friends were then apparantly caught by the police and apparantly ther is a court case hanging.
I then proceed with the transfer fees of R4834.08 to finalize the transaction. Mr Davidson of Clydesdale Bank then told me I needed to make another payment of R9 074.73 for the costs of the Anti Terrorist Certificate, which I told them that there is no such thing and I refuse to pay another cent. I have demanded all the costs back as I told them that I was treated unfairly and dishonestly and cancelled the transaction. This was 11/09/2013 and I am still waiting for any response.
None of the request to reverse the funds made was successful and thus cost me a whopping R14052.16 in fees.
