not sure where to put this. Just received a text message - Reminder your Loan payment is due in the next seven days text ENDREM TO 61119 to stop these reminders from LLOYDSTSB 12.40 25/07.2012
I have no intention of responding as i have never had a loan from anyone (except mortgage) but wonder if anyone has heard of these texts and what the result would be if i did text back

Guessing a charge for texting stop, usually £2.50

If anyone has a valid claim to make against you, they won't be doing it by text.

Contact LloydsTSB (local branch should do) and tell them - maybe phishing which they are keen to stop

Thank you all I think i may contact the bank and tell them, I think maybe they would want to know someone is texting in their name x

NEVER reply to any text like this, it only confirms your mobile phone is "active" so you are likely to get more unwanted texts.

Good advice vhg, that is exactly what they are phishing for.

I have just received the same thing and I do I have a loan from them. However you should always assume that texting back will subscribe you to a premium texting service that will cost a lot of money, so call the provider directly to stop texts like these and then you will find out if they are genuine.
