I have never dealt with an company that calls you 10 times in one day. I told them I was unable to make my payment this month. I understand calling and trying to get the payment but good grief 10 times??? I contacted and filed an complaint hopefully they will address this with them. They shouldn’t call from phones that are not the phone number of the company!

One star because I can't give a negative. They will start calling you the day your payment is due (3 to 4 times a day) they wI'll also send a payment request email and postal the day your payment is due. We were also lied to when we asked to move our payment date to go along with our pay check.. they moved it 4 days and said as long as we called and set up the draft before the end of our grace period that we would not get charged the late fee that was a lie we still got charged.. will never deal with them again..

What is the difference between pre-qualifying for a loan and applying for a loan?
Pre-qualification gives you an estimate of loan terms you may qualify for based on your credit and the
information you provide. Final approval and loan terms are contingent on completion of a full loan
application.
I received a loan check in the mail, is it real?
Yes, it is a real loan check! A loan check is a pre-approved loan offer. Click here for more information
about our loan checks.
What is the difference between interest rate vs APR?
The interest rate deals with the costs you will pay to borrow money. The interest rate only includes
the interest percentage you will be charged for borrowing the money and does not include any other
fees you might be required to pay on the loan.
The Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) is not the same as the interest rate. The APR is the interest rate
plus the fees you may be required to pay on the loan (i.e., origination fees, closing fees, documentation
fees, and other finance charges) and is expressed in terms of a percentage rate. The APR will typically be
higher than your interest rate.
What does it mean to refinance my loan?
Refinancing a loan replaces your existing loan with a new loan that potentially has a new interest rate,
revised terms, and/or revised repayment timeline. The remaining balance of your former loan will be
included in the loan amount of your refinanced loan along with any loan origination fees and voluntary
insurance products you agree to purchase, if allowed by state law.

If you qualify for electronic funding, the funds will be deposited in your bank account within 1-2
