Question by Littleangel26: Hi, can anyone tell me how to check that a private money lender is genuine?
Hi, I am currently thinking of borrowing 8000 pounds from a private money lender but am not going to do business with anyone I don't know for sure is not a scammer, how can I check? Can anyone also tell me how this private money lending actually works? I have no choice but to borrow this way as I have no chance of obtaining one anywhere else due to bad credit history. Thank
