Very poor
Was told i was accepted for a loan, the money was never transferred a day later, called them, was told it would be transferred soon, still never appeared. called again, they told me I had entered my bank details incorrectly, which I knew I hadnt. Told me to apply again, and that I would be accepted, applied again and I was refused. Dont bother with them.

Awful company
Awful company, avoid at all costs. Ridiculously high interest rates, and will constantly offer you more money. Do not do proper credit checks and fail to provide service they should offer and do due diligence. Had to put in an affordability complaint due to not following guidelines.

Never heard back
Applied for a loan.. never heard back…
I applied for a loan over 24hours ago. The message that came up was that the access I had given to my bank wasn’t working and that they’d be in touch. I tried to call to chase my application but I couldn’t get through the phone line. No rejection, but no acceptance email either. Confused.com

Hi Ralph. Thanks for leaving this review. We've looked into your account but there is no record of us having sent you communications inviting you to top up. Please can you send copy of the email or SMS we sent to feedback@oakam.com so that we can confirm?
If a customer is declined, they are not eligible to reapply for 30 days. If they attempt to apply again within that time, no credit bureau checks are run on that customer. If the customer decides to reapply after 30 days, this is treated as a new application. We can see that you have tried to apply numerous times in the last few days - but don't worry, these did not cause extra credit bureau searches.

Hi Sophie - you can pay off you loan in full by calling one of our team on 02039 111 777. Our contact centre is open Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 7:00pm and on Saturdays between 9:00am and 6:00pm.
You should also be able to settle your loan in the app. It could be that you can't see this option because you're using an older version of the app. Please make sure you're using the latest version by visiting the app store (either Google Play or Apple depending on your device) and updating the Oakam app.
Hope this helps. Feel free to email us at feedback@oakam.com if you experience and problems.
