Nothing but lying scammers. Attempting to claim I have over $43,000 in credit card debt. Do not give these creatures and ounce of your personal information

Information provided by various external sources

Since 1984 Prudent Financial has lent money to people with lower credit scores. And Prudent continues to do so today at one of the lowest lower credit score rates in the GTA. Not only that, a Prudent loan reports to the credit bureau as part of an over-all credit rebuilding program. This is often not the case with our competitors. Our loans are reasonable rates, and reasonable pay back times so you have the great opportunity to have a positive loan experience. Have a paid off car six years or newer? Equity in your home? Borrow up to $20,000. All our rates and fine print are prominently displayed on our website. We look forward to assisting you soon.

Prudent Financial never solicits through texts. This is the result of a phishing scam where individuals pretend to be Prudent. Please avoid these people at all costs. You may contact us directly if you live in Ontario through our website Prudentfinancial.net Sincerely, Prudent Customer Care

You say its not you sending texts but the email provided is the same domain as the contact emails on your website

Texting at 2am encouraging someone to borrow money is unacceptable conduct. Sort it out.

The solicitation feels disingenuous and malicious.

We completely agree this is a bad way to market to our customers - which is why we never do it. You'll notice when you hold your mouse over the email url, it is actually a completely different email address. Please forward a copy of the text to us at info@prudentfinancial.net so we can report this to the authorities. We appreciate your taking the time to report this, and your assistance in helping us stop this highly unethical phishing practise. Sincerely, Prudent Financial Customer Care

Bella, thank you so much for taking the time to report this. The company of origin is actually Prudent Finance in New Zealand. Unfortunately the phishing activity is reaching our Prudent Financial customers in Toronto. We'll report the number to the RCMP in hopes we can stop this unethical misrepresentation. Thank you again Bella, Sincerely Prudent Customer Care

SPAM

received a random text from this company offering loans. Have never ever dealt with this company and now never will. I am not in the market to borrow money, especially from a company which sends unsolicited texts to random numbers. Totally unacceptable.

Sandra - Would you be able to forward the number you were solicited through? You may send it directly to us through the contact form on our website or the general office phone number. We are attempting to track down individuals masquerading as Prudent to report them to the RCMP. Prudent is not in any away associated with the person(s) soliciting you, pretending to be affiliated with us. This individual or group are overseas and are highly suspect. A similar Australian company, Prudent Finance is experiencing the same issue and have reported these individuals - but it is a difficult thing to investigate. We'd appreciate your deleting this review as we take great pride in our star rating. We regret you were targeted by this illegal phish activity. Sincerely, Prudent Customer Care

Worst Compagny Ever

This is the worst company that a person needing help may encounter. Indeed, the staff is available and especially malpolie with its clientele.

I bought 3 cars with this company in order to build my credit. Prices and monthly payments are unrealistic 10004 per month. I learned that my 3rd vehicle had been involved in a big accident and that the sales value was well beyond the value of the vehicle ... $ 8,000 versus 21,000 without interest. A lexus without auto radio that I could never fix correctly. But above all a staff unavailable to answer the question ... I intend to make follow-ups about this company.

Dear Michelle -
We value your business and are sorry to hear you are displeased. However, for accuracy, in your review you should disclose the fact that we did in fact reveal the full history of the vehicle to you at the time of purchase. We have since re-sent you the same verification you saw at the time of purchase for your records. It should also be noted, Prudent Value Cars does a full inspection and only releases cars for sale after they have passed our near factory quality standards.
Responding to your comment about unrealistic monthly payments, you should note, Prudent Financial founded the Responsible Lender Pledge program. This means that, unlike many of our competitors, we take the time to reveal a prospective customers complete financial profile and ensure that the loan is never for an amount beyond what the client can comfortably afford to pay back, provided that client doesn’t incur additional, ill advised debt beyond the initial assessment.
We’d be pleased to assist you in the future if it makes sense, Michelle. And if not, we wish you great financial success in the future. Prudent Financial Customer Care
