Hi Stacie, thank you for reaching out, We are always here to help.

We are firmly committed to ensuring that our customers have a clear understanding of the fact that this is an expensive form of borrowing. As such, we make it a top priority to provide them with a comprehensive breakdown of our rates and terms, while also providing full disclosure on all fees associated with the loan well before originating the loan. Our goal is to ensure that our customers are fully informed and equipped to make informed decisions regarding their borrowing needs, while also fostering a culture of transparency and trust in all our dealings.

We strongly encourage our customers to take advantage of our no pre-payment penalty policy by paying off their loan early. Doing so will result in substantial savings on interest charges. Additionally, customers have the option to make additional payments towards the principal balance of the loan, which can help reduce the overall cost of borrowing. We believe that these options provide our customers with greater flexibility and control over their finances.

Reviewing your account, we see that we attempted to reach you to resolve this matter but were unsuccessful. Please feel free to contact us directly at feedback@rivervalleyloans.com or (833) 987-4837 at your earliest convenience so we may resolve this issue.

Thank you.

APR% should be presented before signing the contract. APR% is too high, got an $900 loan and pay back amount is close to $5000 which is insane. Don't have no other choice to pay it now. Do your research.

Need money fast

Needed the money fast to catch up on bills. I didn't find anything wrong. The catch is high interest rate, but I will pay more money when I can. Thank you

Extremely happy how fast and easy

I am extremely happy how fast and easy it was to get funds before my payday. I applied in the afternoon and the money was in my account the next morning. I was able to get funded by applying and completing the loan process online. Customer service is great and received a follow-up call 3 days to ensure that I don't have any questions or concerns. I'm very happy about this lender and will use again when I'm in a pinch

Do not get a loan from them

Do not get a loan from them! They don't put any of your payments to your loan and your interest is 642.5%. You are just giving them your money and not actually helping pay off the original loan you get from them. Don't not get a loan from them. Oh and when you do want to pay the loan off. They charge you more then the loan you got original. This is not a loan it's ripping people off in my opinion.

I spent all day trying to sign loan agreement paperwork 8am-3:30. I continued to get an alert to call customer care. They asked me to change devices, and emails, the same message would pop up each time. Customer care was no help at all. A waste of my day!
