    I’m still waiting for loan 3 weeks later. I sent in a document via email and a whole week later, they requested the same document via their application system. They need to request more documents up front instead of requesting single documents one by one and making the process even longer.

    I recently took out a personal loan from Lending Club, and the application process was straightforward and user-friendly. Customer service was generally responsive and helpful. The loan terms were competitive. I was offered a reasonable interest rate based on my credit profile, and the terms were transparent with no hidden fees. The monthly payment schedule was manageable, and I appreciated the flexibility in repayment options.

    I received a 10k loan couple years ago. The process was fast and straightforward. I applied recently and was denied, even though my FICO and income is a lot higher. In my opinion, they are like a big bank now, but before it was a P2P company. If you're looking for something fast, try SOFI. My wife was denied too with a 715 Fico. Don’t waste your time.

    DO NOT get a loan from LendingClub. I have had personal loans before and never in my 66 years have I dealt with a more unprofessional lender. I have gone back and forth with them for two weeks about a creditor that was supposed to have been paid but they claim they the check to the wrong address. I have had to make NUMEROUS calls with the last 2 weeks and I am still waiting to obtain the funds. I am beyond disappointed in this company. Find another lender is my recommendation!

    I gave the man who represented this company 1 star only because of his incredible ability to pretend to be genuine. I had just been scammed by another company (Wave Finances) and trying to recover by getting another loan. This Lending Club rep was very understanding and compassionate, assuring me they were different and would not betray me. They made deposits that I returned in money cards to supposedly raise my credit rating. Long story short, my bank shuts down my account and tells me the checks they deposited were fraudulent. And of course the man I talked to every day, who promised he would never do me harm, is now unreachable and not responding. I didn't think anyone could be so evil. I don't even know where to go from here.

    I’ve had multiple loan experiences with Lending Club, all were good experiences until the most recent. The inability to hear your customers and the desire to stick it to them when they are most vulnerable must be the new corporate strategy at Lending Club. The obstinate attitude position their team (multiple people) utilizes is not just rude, it informs as to their callous and bizarre lack of understanding and amazing inability to listen. I’ll never work with them ever again. I’d encourage others to use anyone else than Lending Club.

    I was offered a Permanent Loan Modification while I was falling behind, at the time it wasn't the best option for me to assist during my hardship since I still had to pay, I missed 1 of their payments during a lock in period of April 2024 - June 2024 and now that I'm trying to catch up since I'm not working again I was denied the permanent loan modification - I had asked for a extension during my hardship instead since paying nothing was the best for me at the time and wasn't offered this. Now I lost the chance for the permanent loan modification and now behind even more and they still took out 1 of my lock in period payments (2nd one).

    I've called multiple times to speak with higher management to give me a 2nd chance and it'll even make all those lock in payments and the agents servicing me always tell me no. I've been a good customer and made all my payments prior to my medical condition that put me back. You'd hope they would be a bit understanding to their long time customers who had nothing but good experiences with them.

    Lending club is nothing but a scam. Employees drain your bank account after doing a test deposit. Employees will RIP you off by fake mobile deposits then your account is completely drained and overdrawn on a matter of minutes. Even before your bank account can be frozen to stop the withdrawal.

    Don't do it. If you have ANY other legal way of getting money to help you out, do that instead. I got a loan from here and ending up paying far, far more than my original loan. This is a PREDATORY LENDER. Part of your loan is taken upfront, so you never see the full amount; if you cannot pay it off immediately, you will incur crippling interest.

    I originally got a loan through Lending Club and they were Fantastic to work with. Once the first was paid off I went to them for a second loan, and I should have been wary because my experience was very different this time. The loan process took forever despite the fact that I was a previous borrower with 100% good standing and on time payments.... The application process was "less than" smooth or quick the second time.... THEN, last month when I changed the payment date (per instructions on their site) Lending Club proceeded to take a second payment out of my account that same month leaving my account overdrawn. Customer support (I use the term "support" in its broadest sense) said that they would "credit" the second payment to the following month. 2 weeks later I get an email notifying me that my payment WILL be deducted.

    Another call with Lending Club's "support" team who REFUSED to do ANYTHING at all despite the fact they could see the notes about the 2 payments and credit toward this month. Instead they instructed me to call my bank and dispute it with them.... These people REFUSED to acknowledge the trouble they have caused me and REFUSED to honor what they told me they would do to correct the error...As a result they have wrecked my financial situation and could honestly care less that they did... STAY AWAY FROM LENDING CLUB! Lending Club was a great company once upon a time. I don't know what has happened there, but Lending Club will screw you and does not care about their clients or the damage they caused. Lending club will accept no culpability for their actions, and their customer service will tell you one thing and then do the complete opposite. I would NEVER recommend Lending Club to my worst enemy the way they operate now....

    Actually, my experience started with another company affiliated with Lending Club. They were high pressure and applied for a loan through Lending Club without my knowledge. When all the smoke cleared, I found out about the loan and called them and asked them to cancel the loan, I didn't want it. They kept it long enough to the point where first payment was due and of course not paid, so they reported late payment to the credit bureau. They said they would remove it, but it's still on there. My excellent credit is destroyed.

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and concern regarding my loan experience with Lending Club, specifically under loan number **. I took out a loan in May 2022 for $40,000, but the initial amount I received was only $37,600. I was informed that the $2,400 difference was an initiation fee. Since then, I have diligently made payments totaling $20,330, and I also discovered that and This brings the total amount paid to $22,730. Upon checking my balance on January 18, 2024, I was surprised to find that I still owe $33,000. It appears that out of the $20,000 in payments, only $4,600 has been applied to the principal amount. I contacted Lending Club on the same day at 1:22 PM and after being transferred three times, I spoke to an individual named Paul. Unfortunately, he refused to provide me with his employee ID number or last name, spoke over me, and failed to offer a clear explanation for the discrepancy.

    Not only have I not received the full loan amount initially agreed upon, but I have also paid off almost half of the loan, and yet I still owe $33,000. Paul's unprofessional behavior during our conversation was unacceptable, and I believe there is a violation of the law against predatory lending in New Jersey. In light of these issues, I intend to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the State Banking Commission. I urge Lending Club to address this matter promptly and ensure that its employees are trained to communicate professionally. The loan was for $37,600 with an interest rate of 20.49%, and I should only be paying $7,000 in interest, not the current amount of $40,000.

    This so called Lending Club or the Webbank is a harasser for the loan you take and when you face difficulty in payments they never help you to find a way so that you can still make the payments on a reduced monthly payments or reduced interest or increasing the payment time in months. All these are promised somewhere. They say they help people with hardship payment plans. INSTEAD THEY WILL harass you saying they are going to sell your loan to a collection agency by writing it off. When you call or email they never help you. Also they will take the origination fees from your loan in $$$ so you will lose your loan amount in the beginning and they still making lots of money BUT no help for anyone takes a loan BUT harassments. So not a good lender at all.

    This company is utter trash. I had a large amount of money in a savings account and then withdrew the money for a while but pulled it out when I realized how difficult it is to get any help with my account. The website is difficult to navigate and it is a pain to do anything at all. The real kicker is this. Last year, I asked for my 1099-INT for my taxes and it was sent to me twice via Docusign. It was then sent the next day and the next day for weeks. I can't block Docusign in my email because I need it for work. It was sent by someone named Rachel **. I emailed her back directly asking her to stop. I received no response and it continued. I was eventually able to get it to stop but I don't remember how. Which brings me to today.

    I asked for a couple of bank statements two weeks ago and the Docusign emails started again. It is Rachel ** again and she does not respond to emails. Here I am writing on their Facebook page because I don't know how to get them to stop. I truly hate Lending Club and will NEVER do business with them again. The worst, most unprofessional bank I have ever encountered. The level of incompetence is astounding! I can't believe I ever trusted them with such a large amount of money.

    I got a consolidated loan from LendingClub. When I applied on the phone, it showed me that I was gonna pay a certain percentage for my loan, and then when I got all the paperwork and it was approved, and I signed it, I wasn't really happy with what I saw as far as the interest rate and how much percentage I was paying back. That was deception right there when it showed me one number before I got approved, and then when it came back and gave me my contract, that percentage was almost 7% difference. Over a three-year period, it would add about another 1,800 to my loan amount, which is what it did. I didn't think I was gonna pay almost a quarter of what I borrowed. That's called loan-sharking. They're helping people out, but do they really need to get money off of people who are already suffering out here?

    I could have filed for bankruptcy, but that's not an option for me if I wanna keep my credit. So the other option was to consolidate, but to get that kind of amount coming back at me for 36 months left a very bad taste in my mouth. I'm happy I got approved, but I already knew I could have gotten approved somewhere else, and I was just in dire straits at the time.

    My experience with Lending Club was nice and the process was easy. I love how they send a reminder a week before the payment is due. They will make sure that the funds are there. You also couldn't beat the APR for what I got. The rep who helped me was very nice. The lady called me to let me know that the loan was approved and what account it would go to. Once they paid off the card that I needed to pay off, the difference would go into my bank account. She explained everything to me.

    I happened to be a customer of the bank for a few years. Eventually, I moved most of my funds out the bank due to lower interest rates. Lately, I've noticed that the bank has competitive CD interest rates and decided to open a 1yr CD. Strangely, you cannot open an additional account from your online dashboard and should apply as a new customer, regardless of your existing accounts (I have checking & savings accounts active). I set up substantial amount of money as ACH transfer from my other external account. In a few days of silence I contacted LendingClub bank to inquiry and learnt that my new account still under review. I asked the rep do not transfer my funds over weekend: each calendar day I'll lose $30+ in interest, including weekends.

    The rep become aggravated and rude, I replied that if they move my money over weekend I'll cancel the new account application and move my business somewhere else. Immediately after the chat ended my online access to my accounts was blocked "due to recent activity". LendingClub bank has requested a copy of ID, a recent statement from my external bank and screenshot of my online dashboard of my other external account to be provided with to some Kiteworks.com, who I have no business with. Anyway, I complied and in 2 days I received email saying that "my accounts will be closed and in 15 business days" they'll mail a check of remaining balances.

    BTW, I even don't remember how much money exactly I have with them and will not know because my online access is blocked, and they won't respond to my emails. Luckily, they didn't have a hold of my transfer, otherwise I would lost about $600+ in interest. The only reference I have is: Reference # **. This is my true story: no explanations, no remorse, nothing from the LendingClub Bank. Today, 22 days later - no check, no the account access, nada: as per CSR the account is "on hold". Think twice.

    We made a double payment on our account by mistake. It took me calling 4 times throughout the day to get a manager. When I finally spoke to a manager, I was denied my refund because I “authorized it”. Even though it was a mistake, it is Oct 4, the payment was not due until the 21st. So I overpaid my account and was denied my refund. It was the worst service I’ve experienced in a long time and we’ve been recurrent customers since 2016!! Absolutely absurd, I even explained I’m now negative in my account and can’t afford to pay my electric bill or buy food.
