I applied not once but twice & No response. I would love for a response with a definite answer. That's not right. If you cannot do it, say so. Don't just run an inquiry on my credit & leave me with no answer.

0 stars. They lie and say you HAVEEE to get their car insurance and then also health insurance and IF you ask them if that’s required they will say “well that’s how we guarantee we get paid back”making you think it’s required in order to get the loan. I had an 800 number call me and ask if I knew that the insurance wasn’t required andddd if they explained that I was paying for insurance that got me road side assistance which NOOO they also didn’t explain, but I did however sign the paper that they were throwing at me and “pretending” to explain while rushing me to sign, insinuating “this is just for so and so, no big deal” etc. not saying it wasn’t my responsibility to read them. Anyway I was informed that I had to have the car insurance as well bc my loan was “so high”. Less than $3000. When the 800 number called they informed me that was a lie and that I didn’t have I have ANYYY insurance thru them. Also why I the heck would I be getting a high interest loan and gettin ins thru them to pay even more for it! That don’t make noooo sense. Anyway told I go and they tell me my payment is $10 less this month due to and over payment in FEBRUARY!!!! WHYYY WASNT THAT TOOK OUT OF MARCHS BILL!!!! If anyone wants to ask me anymore about that insurance call or text me ANYTIME at 912-281-4379. And if they screwed and lied and tricked you into getting insurance, go up there and tell them you want out of it and they

We came to you for help a few weeks back. You could not help us with a loan you said. Still we receive letters of encouragement to borrow from you. It upsets us. Other than that your office is topnotch. Mrs. Gary B. Prescott
