If I ever see that f***ing advert again I think I might shoot my-self. Just about every channel on Sky play it over and over and over again and that old geezer who says:

Quote:
"I had applied for loans before, and been refused. I had a family setback, I lost my son and my job and acquired some CCJs. Ocean Finance helped me to respect my-self again."


.......is really p***ing me off. All of them p*** me off, but him especially.
There`s the woman with 10 layers of makeup who makes it so obvious she`s reading it it`s a joke.

If I ever get into the position where I need a loan from one of these types of companies, I will make sure I don`t touch Ocean Finance with a bargepole becuase their advert has p***ed me off so much that I hate them.

I know someone who works for them. He is in the background on the ad. The sort of loans they offer are best avoided and so are the ads, good reason to get a job, because they can`t afford the evening slots.

I have no idea which Quote:
"Call 0800 858 858"
advert you are on Quote:
"Call 0800 858 858"
about as advertising Quote:
"Call 0800 858 858"
has no effect on me at Quote:
"Call 0800 858 858"
all.

Aren`t they the people who cliam they can reduce your monthly payments on existing debts, but then put in very small text at the bottom of the screen "repayment period may increase"?

i.e. What they`re effectively saying is "Get a loan from us and you`ll be paying it back until you`re dead, if not longer. We will own you. You will be our bitches...."

If it`s not Ocean Finance, it`s another similar bunch of shysters.

I don`t think that the name Ocean Finance is descriptive enough. Something like Shyster Finance or Scum-Fleecers might help their desperate, fiscally-inept, Kappa-wearing, Findus product-eating clientele realise what these nefarious twats are up to.

Are they the same shysters that did the ad with the hurdles ?
Pure class imho.

If I remember rightly, they also had an advert which was portrayed as pseudo quiz show. Where even though they were acting (so badly) they looked so pleased to get the answer "right".

All these debt company and accident compensation adverts are really cringeworthy I suppose teh reflect they companies doing them.
