They held my savings, ignored my instructions, and pursued a CCJ behind my back
I’m extremely disappointed with how Plane Saver Credit Union treated me. I had a loan with them that was being repaid directly from my salary while I was employed. When I left that role in 2021, the repayments stopped, and I contacted them to resolve the situation.
At the time, I had nearly £700 in my savings account with them, and I clearly asked for those funds to either be applied toward the loan or returned to me so I could make the payment myself. They refused both — they wouldn’t use my own money to settle the balance and wouldn’t release it to me either.
Instead of helping, they escalated the situation, sending emails I didn’t see and letters to a previous address — without ever checking if my details were still up to date. I was on the electoral roll at my new address and could have easily been traced. They also had my phone number but never used it to contact me.
Eventually, they issued a County Court Judgment (CCJ) against me without my knowledge. I only found out months later, after serious damage had been done to my credit file. Even when I tried to contact their solicitors later on to settle the balance, I was ignored.
I’ve now filed a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman Service and started a court application to have the CCJ set aside. What Plane Saver did wasn’t just unfair — it was avoidable. They chose process over people and caused unnecessary harm when the solution was right in front of them.

Hi Darren,
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. As a credit union, we have a duty to lend responsibly, and all applications are assessed in line with our lending criteria. In some cases, if an application does not meet our minimum requirements, a decision may be made quickly to avoid unnecessary delays for members.
While we strive to support as many members as possible, we must also ensure that any lending remains affordable and sustainable. If you would like further clarity on our decision, please feel free to contact our team directly at 0208 607 5020 or info@planesaver.co.uk, and we’d be happy to discuss this further.
Best regards,
Plane Saver Credit Union
One word, Avoid!
Read the reviews properly and avoid this organisation. They lockdown your savings even when you are in a financial hardship situation, they would ignore you and disregard your situation. Pathetic! No empathy, no humanity. I have young children who are on the spectrum and this organisation is blatantly refusing to give me access to my savings. Life can be very unpredictable, unforceen situations occur, please avoid anything to do with this organisation. They will not support you when you need help. My complaint is now going to the Financial Ombudsman Service. That's how bad. In the meantime, my children and I will beg for food!

Terrible & Misleading
Terrible!
Don’t respond to requests for days at a time, and use automated decision making to decline loan applications solely based on credit scoring, even though the website falsely advertises
“ At Plane Saver, we understand that everyone's financial situation is unique. That's why our loan decisions consider affordability, credit checking, and personal circumstances. We aim to make the process as smooth as possible, so you can focus on finding the perfect wheels without the added stress ”
Affordability and personal circumstances are definitely NOT taken into consideration.
I applied for a loan to refinance a car loan I had got at a very high interest rate just 2 weeks prior, but immediately after pressing submit online I received a rejection email.
Now I’ll have to continue paying off a higher interest loan and not saving anything each month, when I could have been both saving and paying off the loan at a lower rate.
Really no difference at all to a bank.
Even though the credit union states they are there to support members, you’re just another automated decision.
Zero personal touch, and no human involvement in the decision making.
If you’re looking for a loan and don’t have a credit rating that’s good or better.
Do Not apply here.
The loan will not be considered by a human, and you’ll be left with a hard search on your file by an automated decision making system, which negatively affects your credit score even more.
Yes I understood I would be credit checked, but I was falsely lead to believe that affordability and personal circumstances would be taken into account. Had I known it was automated I’d definitely have not applied.
Plane Savers, Please don’t lead people on and give false hope, Be completely honest and upfront about how you make decisions on your website, so people can make an informed decision on their applications.

We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your recent experience. We understand how disappointing it can be to receive a pre-approval notice and then have the application declined.
As a responsible lender, we are required to conduct a thorough assessment of all applications, which includes a credit check to ensure that we are making lending decisions in the best interest of our members. This assessment sometimes results in a different outcome than the initial pre-approval, as it allows us to review more detailed information about each applicant's financial situation.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at info@planesaver.co.uk or by calling us on 0208 607 5020. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our processes and member communication.
Fab service
Cons: takes a painfully long time to move an application forward.
Pros: first class service once you do get to speak to someone in the lending team. Exceptionally helpful and understanding, to the extent of being kind and fair when it comes to talking about debt. A realistic approach to why people get into debt and how they can help get them out of debt. I genuinely can't thank them enough for their help and I'm delighted to say that financially my position has improved 100%. I can also save at the same time which is extraordinary.

Consolidation loan.
My 1st consolidation loan from this company with the best interest rates I've been offered in years. And I can actually save whilst paying off the loan for which I'm grateful. It may seem a little long winded uploading all your details but that is part of the process for fair lending. Definitely worth it and I hope others can feel the relief from financial strain as I have when using this company, thankyou Planesaver.
