Same as everyone else in these reviews. Seemed like a perfectly normal loan site until it wanted my banking routing and account info before any actual offers or documents being agreed upon. Wish I had... See more

5k Scam to get personal banking information
5k boasts about no loan being over 36% apr, I checked with them out through Wallet Hub and another site, both said 5k was reputable and transparent.. they lied just as much as 5k. I went through their questions, gave banking information, (against my better judgment), but I truly thought since Wallet Hub and others said they're legit, I'd go ahead and do that.. I got redirected to predatory lenders offering me loans with an over 700% apr. I'm getting call after call, text after text and my email is blowing up with predatory lenders "offering" me loans. If I had wanted a loan with a 700% interest rate, I would have looked for one myself. I would never suggest 5k loans to anyone. Nor will I ever suggest anyone trust Wallet Hub.
SCAM
SCAM! To gain access to your information. I completed the entire process entered all my personal information and now im worried what its being used for since all I got was a bunch of companies for services with fees. A long tedious process and waste of time.
Punk ass company ask me for all my…
Punk ass company ask me for all my information to just waste my time and send me bull crap emails .. find a different company .. yes I took my time to leave a comment for a reason
Don't bother, not legit
This is the 2nd company I've tried that asks for ALL your personal info & bank acct info before showing what terms & amount you would qualify for. I didn't give my bank info. I hit "Previous" and deleted the personal info I had entered. I'm going to go with a legit company like Lending Tree.
Place is a joke
Place is a joke. Approved. Easy. Oh wait actually pay for this credit service to check your score when you already know your score the we sell your info and deny you. Absolutely atrocious company. I now have a millions texts and emails from people trying to lend me $500 with 700% interest. Dude I don’t need $500. What a scam. Thought 3k to fix my car would be easy with a 690 credit. Wow. I’ll just pay cash. What a crap company.
It’s a scam
It’s a scam. I input all my information Social, bank account number, & birthdate but no loan offer at all. Now I am worried 😭
UNFORTUNATELY(UNSECURED)
so as i was going thru i unfortunately gave them my bank information and now i’m super nervous so i don’t know if my information is gonna be out there to thousands or what but i feel so unsafe and unsecured, i don’t know what to do but they need to b stopped seriously.
Tricked and nervous
Well, I feel tricked and nervous. I clicked through a Facebook post about ways to increase your income. The first suggestion was to try to get a debt consolidation loan. I clicked it and began answering the questions to see if I qualified for a loan. I stopped when it asked for my bank information without even offering loan terms. I gave them tons of personal information. Now I have to worry what they are going to do with it. Seriously, who gives out banking information without first deciding on terms!! This must be a total scam.
Positive reviews are all from the same week 2019
Scam. I stopped before I made it through the application when they asked for my bank info. Unfortunately, I'd already given them all my other info. What a scam! There are only one and five star reviews here. The 3 star reviews were all posted in the same week Nov 2019. We should be able to sue fake companies like this!
Stay away or they’ll spam you!
My suggestion. Move on to another company. I read reviews on another site and they were positive. I didn’t even make it all the way through the process to apply for a loan before I quit the application. Unfortunately I had put in my email address. Now I get about 80-100 spam emails a day. I unsubscribe but continue to get the same email from the same email address. Bogus. Do not apply or even walk through the process. They’ll get your info and spam you. Luckily I didn’t give me phone number. Awful awful “business”.
Read the fine print
Ran my credit report without open disclosure. Immediately bombed with spam texts. Company is trash.
Don't trust
They ask for your bank account information before you're even sure you'll get a loan. I don't trust it. Very sketchy. I do believe this company just sells your personal information. Avoid at all costs!
Total Scam Beware!!!
I entered a lot of very personal information and was tricked into a credit reporting service I never wanted or even agreed to. No loan was ever offered or even addressed. Total Scam!!
I'd like to see some proof from the reviewers that say they received a loan. I am willing to bet on the fact that this company never helps anyone receive a loan.
Do not give this company your personal…
Do not give this company your personal information. I missed the part where they sell your phone number/information. I thought this was a secure, legitimate company to help people get loans. After a google search I made sure I was on the official, secure website. I don’t have any reason to believe they would not have tossed my social security number out in the open, after this fact. Of course it was mostly my fault, but seriously don’t fall for it.
Asked for extremely personal…
Asked for extremely personal information and then redirected me to several different sites. Do not use this site!
5K Funds is a Scam
5K Funds is a Scam. I applied for a loan online and paid for a credit report. A short time later I was asked to pay a second time for a credit report. No loan was addressed.
Provided sensitive information
Provided sensitive information, only to continuously be redirected to third party lenders. Never received a loan. My information is still out there. Not right.
So far its been like 7 months and Ive…
So far its been like 7 months and Ive ReAPPLIED for like a zillion loans even for as low as $200 and NEVER a penny ??? Really 5K ?
And yet they STILL BLOW up my Cell with BOGUS text messages SAYING THAT Ive BEEN APPROVED and oH Congratulations and just click here to RELEASE your $ funds to your account Immediately!
Texts and Emails STILL all the time and NO MONEY ever
So I have to ask , WHAT THE HELL ?
