Always there when you need them

Always there when you need them. Funding the same day. Move billing dates with no fees at times. Truly caring sweet representatives working there. Trust me I manage a call center for collections and phone life can be hard but they are always chippy. !!

I think Golden Valley Lending is ok if you have an emergency but it does have very high rate for processing fees like just for example my loan was 700 and I pay 245 bi-weekly and the processing fee is 210 and only 35 goes toward principle so you are paying back a pretty larger amount more then the loan even paying on time so be careful it can make you in a bigger hole in the long run . I think with just a little lower processing fee things woukd be more realistic like 50% of what you pay should go to principle at least but they were there when I needed them

I borrowed 300.00 last month and you charged me 45.00. I borrowed 500.00 last week and you are charging me 150.00. Seems really out of whack and unfair.
