I was told I was approved for $2000…
I was initially informed that I was approved for a $2,000 loan, and I was then asked to provide my banking information—something I was hesitant to do. After placing me on hold, the representative returned and abruptly stated that I was denied. This experience raises serious concerns about the integrity and legitimacy of this company.
How do you tell someone they are approved, collect their sensitive banking details, and then come back and say they’ve been denied? That is not only misleading, but also unacceptable.
I will be reporting this incident to the U.S. Department of Justice for further investigation, as well as notifying my attorney’s office. Others should be cautious and aware of this company’s questionable practice

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry if you felt the loan terms were unclear. At Helpful Lending, we promote responsible borrowing and offer flexible repayment options to help manage your loan:
You have the choice to (1) pay off the loan early without any prepayment penalties, thus saving on interest, or (2) make additional payments towards the principal balance, which can also save on interest and shorten the life of the loan.
We’re glad to hear that you were able to secure the financial assistance you needed.

Borrowed 2000
Borrowed 2000, agreed to pay 360.00 every month. The next month they withdrew 960.00 from our account. When we called them to ask what was going on, they said that it was interest and that our remaining balance to be paid was 1900. This company is a big scam, think a hundred times before dealing with them. We contacted our bank to stop any withdrawals from our account. We will fight them.Scam!!! Scam!!! Scam!!!!

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand how frustrating this experience may have been for you. While your initial application was approved, the incorrect banking information provided likely impacted the funding process.
Additionally, submitting a second application shortly thereafter may have triggered an automatic denial due to recent or duplicate activity in our system.
To help ensure a smoother experience moving forward, we recommend waiting a 180-day cool-off period before submitting a new application.

SCAM
I had got a loan for $950 after my wife had surgery and looking threw the loan agreement I didn’t see an interest rate so the guy on the phone said there wasn’t one until you go over you allowed term. After getting the message saying what I owed it showed the principal left and after paying $133 it’s $3 off the principal so then I look on the site where it showed the interest rate that did not show before I took the loan. The interest rate is 671.44% wtf….

Our records show that you utilized one of these repayment options, allowing you to save on interest and fees. Additionally, we offer a Rewards Program, which provides customers access to higher loan amounts with lower fees.

Very easy to get things done and to payback. My only complaint is I borrowed more money before, but was approved for less this time. I was told that was a special, the first time. But the website says that as a multi use customer then I can borrow more. I guess that's not true.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that the process was easy and that repayment has been manageable. We appreciate your continued business.
Regarding the difference in loan amounts, your first loan was approved under a special promotion we were offering at the time for first-time customers. Keep in mind that returning customers may qualify for larger amounts through our Rewards Program, each loan request is still subject to review and based on several factors, including eligibility at the time of application.
If you’d like us to review your current Rewards status or have any questions about your loan, we’d be happy to assist.
