Is there 6 stars? Maria was amazing all the way through the process! More hand-holding than I expected, but she was there every time I needed her.

I was happy to get approved but before I signed I specifically asked about this loan going on my personal credit. The rep said it would not. After I received my funding about a week later- I get an email advising me of the complete opposite. I am totally disappointed. Today another rep basically said in an email reply it was too bad their policy changed after the fact.
