LendingTree has been very very helpful to me, and I know to other people. They will help you in any way they can, this is one company I would do business with anytime. Thank you, for keeping in touch all the time and anytime. I am very pleased to have you in my corner. Keep staying in touch with me and in the future.

I have opened an account with LendingTree. This just shows me the rate incorrect. Suggested me two different bank for mortgage and when I applied to them they offered higher rate so this doesn't make sense to apply LendingTree. Second this is LendingTree selling our information which we start receiving a lot of paper from all over. So LendingTree waste of time. Does not give any service beside selling your information making extra money. Okay friends take suggestion not headache.

Thieves, scammers, and not even part of the BBB. Loan will cost you money to get, TRUE LOANS are "apply, and receive". Any form of payment for the loan first is fraudulent, so people don't trust online loans. They will steal your identity, mess up your credit. Just friendly advice, thanks and good luck to anyone who wants a loan.

I have been curious about home loans and wanted information about the typical financing options for people with similar salaries as me. When setting up my profile I indicated that I did NOT want to be in contact with any lenders. Sure enough, I received immediate phone calls after submitting my information and five emails. All within minutes. I requested privacy and was immediately overwhelmed and disgruntled. How dare LendingTree go so blatantly against their word. NEVER trust a company that tells you they will do one thing and then does the exact opposite. I hope you see this review before you make the same mistake I did.

I decided to try and rebuild my credit, after having rid myself of credit cards for the past year. After filling out an online application, I was unable to secure a single line of credit, even for the most minimal of amounts. If I specified that I wanted a card or a line of credit for less than $1000, I was pointed to lenders who would require a minimum of $1500-$2000 line of credit requested. After becoming increasingly frustrated, I followed one of the links on the Lending Tree website to another site that was the same business of aggregating lenders. After trying again to find a credit card or line of credit, I decided to give up and just go shopping elsewhere.
The following day, I received numerous calls, all right in a row, from Lending Tree. All went voicemail, as Google and T-Mobile have their numbers marked as spam. The messages left were from LT, but contained wording and mannerisms which are contrary to what one would expect from a reputable company. I never returned their call.
A day later, I was bombarded with 56 emails, all of which seem to come from the same server, but from different websites and masked email accounts. All of them were of the typical FedEx scams, meet for sex, visit my webcam, or notifications that I won a fabulous prize. I never had this kind of spam volume before in my life, until after visiting LT and their partner sites. I would advise staying away from this company altogether, as they obviously don't Vet their partners very well. I would advise going to your bank and talking with a representative there as a first step in finding a loan or credit card.

I was trying to inquiry about rates, fees terms and conditions and as soon as I clicked submitted my phone explode with lots of people for different companies trying to get me in some type of loan. I honestly blocked all those calls and do not want to talk with anybody. I was looking into a online solution not to talk with a hustler. This people are just a marketing tool and they will send your contact information to multiple companies, not consultants or whatsoever. PLEASE BE AWARE.

This morning I did an inquiry for a potential mortgage, thinking I might buy within a year thinking this would be an easy way to get preapproved, find out if there was anything negative that needed repaired etc. I am getting hundreds of calls from all kinds of lending providers, none of which are banks I have heard of, in the past hour, my phone has not stopped ringing and all of these places are asking for personal information over the phone. I am also getting credit alerts like crazy as various lenders are running my credit information, checking my score, all of which happened minutes after submitting an application with this one company. Definitely not helpful as my score lowered 10 points in just minutes due to the inquiries.

Thanks for your assistance. I really appreciate your staff taking the time out to help me in any way they can. I could use a little assistance from time to time especially on this topic.

When entering phone numbers you have to backspace some numbers and reposition cursor to complete the Phone number. Usually the problem is with the area code of the phone number. You start keying the area code and the three numbers transpose themselves so the first number you want will probably end up in the middle instead of at the beginning.

Fast and courteous. They was able to connect me with a lender to try for approval even though I wasn't given any offers to start with so hopefully I'll get approved for a car loan and pray for decent loan terms and finance rates. I'm also hoping that I will not have to pay a down payment for the car loan either.

If I could give a zero rating I would. Do not use their pre-approval tool ever. They hard pull and it will make your credit score go down. Last night just to see what I would qualify for because I am giving my almost paid off car to my daughter I checked their pre-approval tool for car loans. Honestly, it was completely out of curiosity seeing how she isn’t taking the car until March of 2019. Well I woke up this morning to a notification from Experian that I had a credit update. Turns out my LendingTree pre-approval curiosity ended with a hard pull only from Roadloans.com. There were other companies also listed on the Preapproval. None of the other companies hard pulled. The pull just came from Roadloans.com.
When I left work today I called Roadloans.com to tell them to remove the tradeline. The first girl Samantha (loan specialist) that I talked to blamed LendingTree and told me I had to call them. Meanwhile, the line on my credit report clearly says Roadloans.com and NOT LendingTree. She also transferred me to her manager Marva (Senior Loan Specialist). Marva proceeds to tell me that people call them all the time with the same complaint I had. My thoughts: “yeah of course people call you all the time because it is an unethical thing to do and false advertising”. She offered up a phone number for their credit department on the east coast. They are in the central time zone. However, I am also on the east coast and of course their credit department was closed seeing how they work a normal 8 am to 5 pm like I do.
She also told me (single mom of two with no help) to take time out of my work day tomorrow to call and talk to the credit department that would only be open while I was at work. She transferred me over to her boss Danny ** (Department Manager) when she got tired of talking to me. At this point I am pulled over in a parking lot with pen and paper and NOT getting home to my kids after being gone all day at work. Danny did nada. All he could do was keep telling me what the disclosures said. I also asked him for the contact information of the person from his company that my lawyer would need. He was unable to provide it.
The blame kept being put in LendingTree by Roadloans.com even though they are the ones on my credit report, their practices clearly are unethical AND people keep complaining. The company is obviously not run very well either seeing how they lacked the knowledge of credit and all they could do was recite disclaimers. The customer service was terrible and I actually feel bad for people that have them as a lender.
After I got off the phone with Roadloans.com I called LendingTree. The women that answered the phone also proceeded to do nothing. Partially because the company listed on my credit report is not LendingTree. The hard pull came directly from Roadloans.com. The point of all of this is do not trust LendingTree for Preapproval. They will screw you over and not care for a second. All of this and damage to my credit is because I was curious. Clearly after the experience today LendingTree also supports the unethical practices of their third party vendors seeing how they could care less in regards to how Roadloans.com does business. I am not the first one this has happened to and I am sure unfortunately it will happen again to someone.
Please find other sites to get Pre-Approved for things. Examples: Directly through the lender/bank, Credit Karma (even though they do not give a real credit score. It is a vantage score), MyFico, Experian, NerdWallet and so on. All of those Preapproval sites are much safer and can be trusted by you the consumer to do right by you.

I visited LendingTree to receive and compare quotes from lenders. I gave them my email and phone number knowing I might be contacted but still expected to be able to view, compare, and select lenders on the site. Instead I received three calls within moments of entering my data. The information LendingTree gave me was limited and not enough to decide between lenders, they listed the best in each category but not how they compared to one another. My whole reason for using the LendingTree site was to gather information without having to speak to high pressure sales agents over the phone which I greatly dislike. I feel angry and misled. I should have educated myself about their service before I used it and been more careful in reading the fine print.

Three weeks ago I was doing some research about home equity loans and ended up on LendingTree to compare rates. I made the mistake of sharing my email and phone number, which was required to get the lender comparison results. Not even 2 minutes later, the calls and emails started. These were from 3rd party vendors that LendingTree had shared my info with. The first hour, I must have received 30 calls and about 20 emails, none of which I asked for or agreed to (unless I missed the LendingTree fine print of course).
Emails lasted for another two weeks after that, but they finally gave up. Calls are still coming through at the rate of 5-10 per day and night since I am also receiving those way past 10pm. I am blocking them as they stream in, and my number is on the national do-not-call list, but new numbers pop-up every day. This is absolutely not OK LendingTree and I would not advise anyone to use your system. I wish you were more honest and upfront about the consequences of running a search on your site. Finally, note that due to this very bad experience, I will not be doing business with any lender associated with your site.

Like many of the reviews that I have now read about Lending Tree, I can only say that I wish I would have read about them prior to submitting my request for a mortgage loan. My opinion, like many others, a deceptive and misleading organization. All I can say after my experiences is: Never again, hard lesson learned and shame on Lending Tree. This experience has cost me money, wasted time and energy, multiple hard hits to my credit, and has now, in part, cost me my ability to acquire financing through a viable lending institution in my local area.
The lenders through Lending Tree that I experienced dealings with - nothing more than deceptive. Companies like this can only thrive and hurt people for so long before eventually the tables turn on them and enough complaints get filed against them. I myself, am going to pursue filing a complaint through the attorney general's office and any other agencies possible. Lending Tree: your business reputation is starting to take a big hit through the communications of the public and social media. Just a suggestion: you might want to rethink your company's strategic plan and start paying attention to the people you sabotage.

I had checked my Credit Karma which told me that I should apply for a loan to consolidate all my high interest debts on credit cards. Well I did. It was one of their companies they suggested. After finishing all of the application which was not supposed to go on my credit report I was pre-approved. A personal loan in the amount of $7,500. Next I get a call from LendingTree who asked me to verify security information over the phone which I did. Then they sent me to a man I think his name was Mark in the loan department who told me I would get an email whether this loan was approved or not within a day or two. Today I received another phone call asking me to verify the same thing - my Social and all these other things, address, phone number, Etc.
I told her to put me through to somebody to get me off of this list and withdraw from any future calls or loans offers. I also told them to cease and desist. Do not call my phone number ever again. He then tells me if I apply in the future I may not get the same rate. Very threatening and very sarcastic because I didn't go along with their tactics. I would never recommend this place and I told them that period and Credit Karma needs to stop telling people to apply for these loans and what is easy and what is not. As far as I'm concerned they have no idea what they're talking about either. I'll be getting rid of them also. If anybody calls you in the future and you don't want it make sure you tell them to cease and desist. Keep track of every call time and date and if they call you again Sue them.

A few years ago I made the regretful mistake of going to LendingTree’s website and searched for a mortgage lender. Well that was the beginning of a nightmare of harassing phone calls constantly all day everyday even after 9PM! They were relentless! Even after telling them to stop calling they continued and then other mortgage lenders called and called. It was horrible! My credit score dropped tremendously after hard credit pull after pull! I finally got them to stop calling but it took months! Well a few days ago my wife didn’t remember my horrible experience with them and just went to the site put her name and number in and then she said “I don’t feel comfortable putting the last 4 of my social on the site” and I asked “which site?” She said “lending tree”. My heart sunk. I quickly said “Oh my god no do not give them any information because they are relentless vultures that will not leave you alone!”
She exited the site thinking we dodged the bullet. Nope! Within 10 minutes the relentless harassment started. Call after call after call after call! Will not stop! I’ve gotten on the phone and cussed people out! It’s after 9pm right now and a lender just called, she declined the first attempt but I answered on the second attempt thinking it might be someone else since it is after 9pm. Nope it was a lender. I told the lady to stop calling and remove this number from the call list and she proceeds to ignore what I said and starts to tell me about mortgage rates and asking questions so I had to be rude and tell her to, "Stop ** harassing us and remove us from the call list you ignorant harassing ** !" I hung up. I’m sure we’ll receive a bunch of calls tomorrow as well. Do not give them any information!

The LendingTree website makes it seem as though it will provide you with a list of the most appropriate lenders for your needs. In reality, what the LendingTree does is give out your phone number to dozens and dozens of lenders, who then just want to call you several times a day at home. I would say we have been swamped over 150 phone messages within 10 days, with several of those lenders leaving 10 or more messages each. It's a ridiculous situation and goes to show that all the LendingTree really does is pass your contact information indiscriminately to as many lenders as possible. Bottom line: DON'T give the LendingTree your phone number, and instead, do your own research on various institution's interest rates and reputations.

I applied for a debt consolidation loan through LendingTree website. I got a pre-approval instantly. I then had to email them last 2 recent copies of my pay stub & previous year tax w2 form that they requested. Within 2 days I had the final approval & funds transferred to my bank. I think with so many negative comment reviews it’s because a lot of people don’t show they make enough money (debt to income ratios) to pay the loan back or they can’t provide the adequate documents requested. My only complaint would be they took $500 out of my loan proceeds (to cover administrative costs) which I didn’t think was fair since I’m paying very high interest rate which will generate over $3,000 in profit to their investors on my loan in 3 years but even so this loan term will help me see the light on some high balance credit cards that would have taken me 10 years to pay off & now it’s only 3 years on this loan.

I submitted my information to LendingTree with the sole purpose of finding out what might be available in the way of a refinancing of an auto loan, consolidation loan, etc. I had no intention of applying for anything, however, until after I had talked with a local banker that I know. However, one of the forms I submitted was apparently a request for credit, which I didn't realize until I received a notice from a company that I had been turned down. I called the company, and the representative with whom I spoke said that this happens quite frequently from people who have accounts with LendingTree; he suggested that I call them to see what they could do to resolve the problem. I did so; the representative was very accommodating by deleting the inquiry that I never meant to file as well as my account altogether.
However, she also said that she could "see why this might have been confusing," putting the blame completely on me for the mistake rather than acknowledging that their website might be confusing because of their design rather than my inability to understand what I am reading. Furthermore, it is too late to remove the inquiry that did get processed, which will now negatively affect my credit rating. I now regret ever giving LendingTree my information.

Suspicious, I logged into the account, clicked on "Loan Requests" and saw THERE WERE 4 REQUESTS FOR $117,000 IN HOME LOANS SENT OUT.
I looked up some reviews, and saw where some people with similar Lending Tree experiences had their credit scores go down by about 10-20 points because of hard inquiries done by lenders through Lending Tree. I called immediately and had them cancel the requests and close my account. From my experience calling in, and the reviews I read, what happened to me isn't uncommon. So I will steer anyone and everyone away from this company, and will be keeping an eye on my IDShield membership and credit score.

I did a Google search to get average re-fi rates and LendingTree was a search result and presented a page to get average rates NOT to be contacted by mortgage lenders. They bait and switch you on the website so they can get your contact information and blast it out to 1000's of lenders who immediately start calling and emailing. I must have received 50 calls a day for 3 days. So I called and told them to block my number and they said they would but the calls kept coming. At night, on Saturdays, all the time. Very annoying. They get revenue by providing leads to mortgage lenders so they trick people into giving up their contact info. Sleazy operation.

Investing in LendingTree is a money in, no money out experience. They refuse to pay any of your principal out, even after it is freed up with the involved loans being repaid. They simply hold the money in a non-interest bearing account. Forget about ever receiving any of the supposed interest return, those funds never are released. I notified LendingTree over a year ago to close my account; so far not one cent has been paid to me, even though there are uninvested funds held by them. Calling is a joke; I waited over an hour with a constant recorded message saying everyone was on the phone; so it was never answered. I strongly recommend that on investment be placed with LendingTree under any circumstances unless you want the funds held effectively forever, so you never receive your principal back nor any of the supposed investment return on your principal.

I recently tried to write a review of Allied Mortgage who had 5 stars on Lending Tree. I explained that I am a veteran and my spouse is a minority and we were looking for a VA Loan to replace a 1st and 2nd mortgage on our main residence. After the hurricane last year our current loan holder is allowing us to refinance with them or go elsewhere. We were told my credit score was 610 and they needed a minimum of 630 to refinance with Allied. I have Experian and my credit score is 670 while my wife's is over 700. Now when that bridge is crossed we are told that our modification with my current lender is not from the hurricane, which it is. The process has taken 3 of 4 months and we just want everything done. When we tried to put this in a review with 2 stars for Allied, Lending Tree denied the review. Is this how Allied has a 5 star rating?

Had no idea that this would result in having hard pulls on my credit. If they had somewhere on this form that my credit was going to be pulled and maybe many many times never would I have agreed. Shortly after I fill in the form I received an alert that my credit was pulled. Called lending tree immediately ask them to take my information down and the women assured me that I would only have "one" credit pull. Not the case another credit pull the next day appeared. This could totally ruin your credit. Now I spoke to a supervisor and was informed that all these hard pulls would be deleted except for one if I did not shop around for a car loan in 14 days - hopefully this manager is right.

They promise to show you how much house you can afford by entering some information and without your explicit consent, they immediately sell your number and email address to many third-parties that begin to harass you constantly. If you fill out your "opt out" form, they will tell you that this harassment will stop in 72 hours, but it does not end. It never ends!
One of the companies even contacted me offering to help me figure out how to end the harassment as a tactic to get me to choose them over all of the others! So, it is clear to everyone involved that people are bound to fall into this trap unintentionally and then be harassed as a result. One of these companies has called me 8 times from 8 separate numbers in 3 days! I cannot block the numbers fast enough! This is harassment plain and simple and I am going to report it to law enforcement.
I understand that they do include some disclosures of their practice in some fine print somewhere on their website if you can even manage to find it. That might technically cover them against lawsuits, but it doesn't make it right. This company knows full well that they are misleading people, but they just don't care.

If I could give Lending Tree zero stars I would. I have used Lending Tree before to determine what loans and rates I would qualify for as it promises to not have a hard inquiry or affect my credit. Well yesterday I decided to see what I would qualify in the form of an auto loan. I logged in and went through the normal process where it says it won't affect my credit and sure enough a lender pulled a hard inquiry. There is very fine print at the bottom of the confirmation to submit that states that the lenders may pull a hard inquiry. It is a VERY misleading business practice and I would advise staying away from them.

I had a very poor experience with LendingTree - I submitted some information online to view quotes that were gated by a form, and at the end of it I noticed in fine print that I had 'consented to contacted' by agents. Not only was this not true, there was no actual way to opt out of this - at least nothing that was made clear or easily accessible. Over the next few days, I was repeatedly called and texted by folks - sometimes not even able to pick up before they'd hang up. A lot of these numbers were also hidden or marked as 'Scam likely'.
After reaching out via email to LendingTree to complain, and also submit a 'Do not call' option, I was not contacted back and continued to receive a number of phone calls, voicemails and texts. Reaching out again, I was assured that I was marked as 'Do not call' and asked to provide numbers that were still calling me. Even after submitting screenshots of the calls, I still continued to get phone calls. It is now Tuesday, and I submitted the form on the prior Thursday, and it's hard to recommend a company this shady or that has such little regard in a potential customer's information.

Applying and have approval for a loan but can't seem to get to closing. I have the approval in my portal but AFMC is pre-selling my loan to Wells Fargo. I didn't know there would be 2 underwriting processes, so when the lender talks about selling your loan, know this is how it is, 2 sets of underwriters! Got approval on May 8th, but that doesn't mean we close. It means we move on to the next underwriter, yikes! Too many personnel changes too, including, 3 different loan processors.

I responded to a pre-qualified offer just to see what the rates might be. I decided to proceed based on an offer that was made stating the terms, rates, etc. I provided all the required documentation within hours of request.

Finally got through on a call and was told they had requested additional information -- which they never did. I supplied it immediately. Then got notice less than 12 hours later that they would not fund the loan. Very poor communication! Multiple hard inquiries on my credit! They do not stand behind their offers - so don't waste your time.

I applied for an auto refinance loan and was 1st pre-approved at 3% interest rate. I also applied for a business loan and was also pre-approved at around 10% interest. For refinance, I was 'pre-approved' at 3-5%. For the business loan, I was pre-approved at 6-9%. If nothing else please read the final paragraph because that was the most horrible part of the experience. I have all the emails and phone records to confirm my experience but I am not certain if I am allowed to post those so for now, I wont. Before I go further, let me save you some time. Go directly to a bank, credit union or whatever and do the work yourself. You'll save your credit score reduction by at least 15 points.
Literally dozens and dozens of b-list loan brokers each called me 3-5x per day and to boot, I'd say 3-5 calls per hour from 8 am-8 pm. The countless emails were more intense... By the way, you're not really 'approved.' You have to go through an entire new process sharing personal and financial information with whichever loan brokerage company you want to submit an app. Then again, fill out complete applications for each lender. For me on the auto refinance, there was only 1 legitimate loan company. The rest with names like "loans r us' and so on
So the "real" loan approval after days of figuring out who's legit and who's not, ends up being different. For example, my auto loan refinance ended up at 11% (with a 700+ credit score) not 3% as originally offered with the bogus 'pre-approval'. The business loan was officially "approved" at, are you ready? At 39%. not 3.9% but thirty nine percent! The loan term was for 12 months. This is the worst part... LendingTree claims there are only 'soft pulls' on your credit. Second, I only applied with one loan company (the real one). Because of the inquiry through LendingTree, my credit score dropped over 20% in 2 weeks. And I ended up turning down the loans. Do not fall for this con.

Lending Tree and Lending Club work together with many small financing companies, I applied online and they ended up issuing two loans (I am saying they because one rep said they were the same and the other denied it) but both can see my account with my phone number, I assume if they are not the same, they are very close. My mistake was not to check my bank account on time and of course I set both loans in ignorance and in confusion, you fill out a form in a website and immediately a local company calls you and tells you they are calling in behalf of the site, they didn't tell me the other loan was moving forward. I would call it a scam. So since the loan was granted by a local company in the same day that contacted me through their website in their behalf, I did not pay attention to the other lending company's email.
They ended up charging me twice because their unorganized system can do that and you will end up paying their fees. Period. Never use their service online, your information is released and nobody cares about mistakes of who gets your info or who they send it to, I say that because nobody cared about my issue. I know their lack of good ethics will get them out of business sooner than later. Too bad people like me have to lose money in the process. At any rate I admitted my mistake and asked for help, but you guessed it, customer service is non-existent and all they care is about their greed.

This is ludicrous! It cost roughly 50% of the loan value just to borrow the money and clearly the APR ON A PERSONAL LOAN SHOULD BE MUCH LOWER THAN THAT OF A CREDIT CARD. HERE THEY ARE HIGHER! I most certainly can do way better at my person credit union on my worst day. I would no never EVER consider these ridiculous offers. I would like to add that while my credit may not be 800 it certainly is not bad credit and the company needs to make a little money but do it on reasonable interest rates and I might would consider paying a 25$-35$ application fee if you will but not this!

After contacting all of the great offers, they all come back with offers that aren't even close to what LendingTree stated. We are talking the difference between a 3% and coming back at 5 to 7%.

While Lending Tree does disclose on their website that information would be shared with lenders, I had no idea how many calls I would get. The day after I filled out information on Lending Tree I received a total of 37 calls from 3 different lenders... Yikes. I have already refinanced my home and still receive 10 to 25 calls each day from different lenders. They call starting at 7 am and don't stop until 8 pm. While Lending Tree isn't directly responsible for this, perhaps Lending Tree can tell the people they sell information to to not harass people. I have asked the companies to stop calling, yet they persist. It's beyond annoying and very unprofessional.

I was simply looking to compare current rates. As other reviewers have noted, all I accomplished by using the Lending Tree site, which was linked from a Google search for current rates, was to unleash a storm of phone calls, voicemails, and text messages from various mortgage brokers. I HAVE YET TO SEE A CURRENT RATE! Despite the fact more than enough information was entered, to provide a ballpark estimate. Useless. Annoying. I see that the most common response to others complaining about this, from Lending Tree, is that they will add me to their DNC list. It's too late for that. Incidentally, I stopped short of entering my SSN into the Lending Tree online forms. Thank goodness I did not. But Lending Tree disseminated my information anyway, despite the fact that I did not complete their registration process. That's a bad business practice IMHO.
To sum up, I wanted to see and compare current mortgage rates, got linked to Lending Tree, DID NOT COMPLETE their process, closed the web page instead, Lending Tree took what I had already entered and disbursed it to multiple mortgage brokers. This site may not be the only one on which I write a review, for that very reason. Stop doing that, Lending Tree. There's no way to undo the mass publication of my information (email, address, phone). I do not appreciate that at all.

Unless you're feeling lonely and want to talk to several hundred obscure brokers for the next 4 months, AVOID LendingTree. I've gotta give it up to their marketing team, they are very good at putting lipstick on a pig. I had no idea that I was signing up for a personal credit chop shop. LendingTree isn't in the credit business, they are in the information business. The minute you sign up it's like entering Narnia. Except you can't get out and every character you meet knows your social security number and childhood teddy bear's name. I had to put Mr. Snuggles into a witness protection program to get him away from all of the legit harassment.
At least if you are going to sell my information against my will, do it to nice people, not aggressive middlemen who don't respect your wishes unless it fits their own interests. Literally, on every interaction, I had to request that they stop calling me every 18 hours and I would prefer to handle any conversation via email. Every time I asked them to please just email instead of call I would be given a ton of attitude. It was very clear that my meetings during the day and family time after work didn't fit their schedule so they just called anyway. At that point, I just started ignoring my phone completely. I haven't picked up a call from a number I don't know in the last 4 months.
The best part though is that LendingTree DGAF. As far as they are concerned, it's not their responsibility. They passed on all liability and blame on these rouge brokers. Despite throwing me into the deep end of a sewage tank with concrete shoes, there wasn't a single floatie thrown my way. When I asked to be removed from any future info blasts I was told I have to go to the broker to have my information expunged. How am I supposed to do that when I don't even know who my new besties are until they call me 6 times in 36 hours.
As you would expect, LendingTree is exactly like your butterfly tramp stamp tattoo that your Gam Gam loved (she didn't love it). It seemed cool for the 30 seconds it took you to pick it out of the stock binder of designs but very quickly you realize that it doesn't quite mean what you thought it did. You can do your best to hide it and try to forget about it but every few days you get a reminder long after you've already decided you want to get rid of it. Getting rid of it isn't actually possible though. The best you can do is get burned a whole bunch of times and end up with something that may be unrecognizable enough that people stop making cleaver bullseye jokes and saying you should have gotten a dinosaur instead.
For reals tho, you cannot cancel your account. I just had a lender call me out of the blue saying he just received my application for a loan request. Not the one from 101 days ago. A fresh new one "that I submitted". I didn't submit anything or approve anyone to submit anything on my behalf. But hey, it's not like it's sensitive information that could ruin my life or my families life if it got into the wrong hands... O wait, IT IS.
I am sure Alyssa and her team at LendingTreeSocial@LendingTree.com are very nice but I don't want new friends, I want to feel secure that my sensitive financial information isn't the topic of conversation and Steve's next boozy brunch. I just want a simple basic request for some mutual respect and common decency to not do the exact thing I requested you to not do, several times. It's clear though that their network of lenders and resulting referral commissions are more important than the customer. Once your customers leave what's left? A half smudged butterfly above your ass crack that looks like a star if you close your eyes.

DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY LONELY AND WANT TO TALK TO A LOT OF STRANGERS!

Your online application is easy, well placed in my browser and is efficient. I would recommend it to a friend and even family members... Even my parents who are online ** would find this site easy to manage and navigate. My wife is hoping you send her one. Lol.

I signed up with LendingTree to see if I could get a quick look at different banks offering a home equity loan. I looked at the disclosures and little info buttons and didn't see anything about LendingTree selling my number and email to the banks. Well, they must have because even though LendingTree had showed me only 3 possible bank offers, I have been getting endless calls and emails since signing up. Before writing this review, I tried giving LendingTree a chance at making it right by emailing them and asking them to put me on the DNC list. I got crickets instead. So here I am, adding a 1 star review. I will not be removing it. Point of the story: DO NOT sign up with LendingTree unless you want to be inundated with calls (even during evening hours)!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for reaching out. I'm very sorry about your experience. We share your information with up to 5 lenders who compete for your business, however we do understand the calls can be overwhelming. Please email me at LendingTreeSocial@LendingTree.com and I will add you to our DNC list. Also, please include the address you emailed previously so I can follow up on why you never received a response.
Thank you,Alyssa
