I have just gone through the same scenario as the previous complaint. Of course this company says, "you know anyone can write anything they want". Sure, that's true but I have had the same, exact experience.
I received an email saying I had been "fully approved" for a loan of $5,000.00. I followed the instructions and contacted Erin Roberts @ 1-866-383-1652 Ext. 220. She gave me all the particulars for the loan and I agreed to them. She emailed me the documents. I filled them out, signed them and faxed them back to 1-855-859-1874.
She had said, because of my credit history, I would be required to make 3 payments in advance as collateral for a total of $484.00 + $40.00 Western Union fee that would be refunded to me. She gave me directions to wire the money to Kevin Nelson, Ontario, Canada and then fax her the receipt. I did this.
I was told to call her back in 2 1/2 hours. I did and was told either she or customer service would call me in about an hour or 2 hours at the most. I waited 3 hours and called her back. I was referred to the Customer Service Manager, Carl Henry. Before I could call him, he called me. He said a hold had been put on my loan. Due to my credit history (this all came about due to my husband being diagnosed with cancer, battling it for 3 years and passing away on October 30, 2012) the "lender" needed $750.00 to pay for 1/2 of the insurance they required. I had agreed to the insurance but it was supposed to be paid along with my loan payments. I explainecd that I had no more money. I had scraped to get the $524.00 together. After a pretty heated argument with Mr. Henry, he said he would initiate a claim for a refund but it would take 30 days for it to get to me.
I have talked to Erin and told her I wanted to talk with the lender. She said she would send a message to customer service and have them call me. I'm still waiting.
I am a 73 year old, widow surving on a small Social Security income and feel definitely taken advantage of. I know there are laws concerning this and will be checking with an attorney to see what I can do. The money I sent to them was everything I had. I am totally broke now and don't know how I will survive.
I cannot believe people would take advantage of me.
