LendingTree Reviews

Don't enter your email or phone number! The first call I received (stated they were from Lending Tree) was from a "loan specialist" who wanted to know 10 years of credit history. After learning I had a collection 8 years ago he said he would have to send me to a Debt Relief company. Yeah, right.

This company was very positive to work with on a Saturday. I was actually impressed but then after they got my private information they just stopped all communication. This is a joke!

LendingTree - a no brainer! There is no reason to do 3 hard inquiries on a same day for one purpose. BEWARE, when you apply for any credit product these guys will do a minimum of 3 HARD INQUIRY. That is the way they work. I hate that design. Sick!!!

I put in a request to simply SEE what we were looking at in regarding to a home loan. I was IMMEDIATELY inundated with an onslaught of phone calls. It was borderline harassment. I will NOT use their service and I am terribly sorry I gave them ANY of my information.

The best way to describe this company is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Promised so much but had to give them initial 25 dollars but they pulled out $400. But they called me 100 times a day so they could hurry up and get my signature on their contract so they could get me the best possible rate. And I had a deadline so finally I signed it and later I found that out it was just an opportunity in a long ironclad contract so they couldn't get the initial $400. Then when you call back to complain you can never get the person that you started off with and they gave you the runaround. Warning, warning ,warning. Do not use this company.

I regretfully gave them my cell number. I have had 16 calls within the first 5 minutes of hitting the submit button. I should have read reviews about them before I signed up. There is no way to unsubscribe on Lending Tree's website. I hope the government cracks down on them and forces them to be able to unsubscribe. I don't like them having my personal information.

I applied for a personal loan through Lending Tree. The only name that came up with a 5Star rating was Circle Back Lending. I applied on 6/12/15 and heard nothing Friday-Monday. I called them and they told me the person assigned to my account was out to lunch and would call me back. Heard nothing, so called again on Tuesday. The gentleman that answered the phone said my loan was not completed. I asked him, "how would I know that if no one called me back." He said recomplete the application; however, when I go back into Lending Tree for that company, it is not there. I tried going into the company directly and it longer offers personal loans and my loan app isn't even there. They do have my name, address, s/s and my bank acct #. I had a lot of faith in Lending Tree, but am now very distraught.

I found Lending Tree on the Internet because I am looking for a second mortgage on my home. The Lending Tree website requested a complete application before they gave me a quote. I completed the application with my name, address, telephone number, date of birth and when I found they were requesting my social security number I decided to write the last four digits. They did not accept this and wanted the full social security number. When I requested an explanation, the same website explained that it was a secure site. Reluctantly, I wrote my social security number. When I completed the application I was expecting a quote, or a call, or an email. Nothing happened; no quote, no call, no email.

17 calls in one day, starting at 8:01 Eastern. Have called 10 times a day after that. Will not stop calling although I asked them to. I block each new number they call from... 25 numbers so far. Nightmare.

Yes!!! I filled out the information that LendingTree.com requested for a car loan and I thought they would contact me about the loan... Yep!!! Less than a few minutes I'm receiving tons of e-mails from car dealership. Yep!!! I sent ALL of them a not so kind of a response. Thanks to LendingTree.com. I bought both of my 2015 WITHOUT THE HELP OF LENDING TREE - matter of fact: they weren't any help. ALL THEY ARE IS A GO BETWEEN. And they hold on to your information.

The one big problem I have is that there's no way to cancel, delete or get rid of the account. Now I have to be weary for the first time ever about my personal information been out there. I will love to have the government to fix this so-called legit company, when in reality it's just selling our personal info like auction with other companies. Straight up scam point blank. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM!!! Don't make the same mistake I did just 5 minutes ago thinking it was a legit site/companies.

Applied for a car loan on Lendingtree.com. Immediately after submitting my application, I received 5 calls/emails from car dealerships asking me for my business. I let them know that I already had a vehicle selected and asked where they got my information. They said it was from a loan company - I checked on Lendingtree.com and saw that I had one offer (that was almost 3x the loan amount I requested, 3x the interest rate I was quoted by my local bank and twice as long of terms). The loan was ridiculous and the only company that offered me a loan had already shared my personal information with car dealerships.

LendingTree makes all kinds of upfront promises on their web sites regarding their ability to provide you with advantageous mortgage/refinancing terms, pretexting favorable governmental regulation. They requires that you provide personal information upfront and once you have done that, they start disseminating that information to mortgage vendors of unknown standing and reputation.

I never applied for a home loan, never asked about a home loan, yet my phone is blowing up from 7am to 8pm with calls from them! They left a message the first time, but not since. I answered once and told him that he was calling me before 8am, I never asked about a loan, I don't want a loan and please stop calling me! I was very nice, even said "thank you and have a nice day." I kept blocking each number they called on, each time it was a different number, and the calls continue. I called back on their newest number and a guy answered saying it was about a home loan I requested, I told him I didn't, he said a ** somebody did. I said "there is no one here by that name." He repeated it. I again said "no, no one here by that name." He then said it's a wrong number then and hung up. I was never rude, I had a calm voice, never yelled, was very polite, but I still get treated badly. Not impressed with Lending Tree, will spread the word on their actions.

I found Lending Tree online and made an online application. That was my first mistake. No-one checked to see if there were any circumstances in my financial record that could be explained to Lending Tree about my particular financial picture. I was a caregiver to my parents for over 15 yrs. Up until the present time, I have made 365 payments on three different mortgages for 3 homes. Some credits cards had lates in 2008 and 2009. I took to using debit cards from 10 years ago until the present time. A mistake I pay for dearly! I am now rebuilding my financial picture by obtaining some credit card to ensure that I have reportable debt! My debt on the whole is merely 1,197.00. That's nearly 2,000. A mere drop in the bucket in comparison with over 80% of the population. Three other companies have approved me for a loan with rates of 2.99 APR and 3.1% respectively.

3 year debt consolidation loan... After their fee it jacked my interest rate up several points above the loan amount I thought I was getting. After 3 years I paid it off as agreed - no letter of congratulations or acknowledgement... no nothing. My loan agreement just ended. I liked that my loan was benefiting individual investors, that I liked, and felt obligated too. The people who run this company get their money up front and act as police for the duration of the loan and their customer service skills SUCK! I will think again before taking another peer to peer loan, when the attitude of the forbearers is equal to that of credit card company's.

I was trying to get a mortgage and struck out with my credit union so I Googled FHA mortgage. Lending Tree came up and I started filling out my info. I got all the way through and hit cancel instead of accept or whatever it was to keep going. I hadn't even finished closing out of the website and my phone and email was blowing up. EVERY SINGLE company that called me (around 20) had pulled my credit report even though I declined to accept that section and never actually submitted my application! So now a few months later I'm in a better place to actually buy a house and my credit is shot because it looks like I had 20 people looking into my credit!

This company will solicit your personal information to con artist that will keep calling you, telling you to send money to them for "insurance" for loans. I take it that they will also give your information away to the highest bidders so they can steal your identity. This sick website should be shut down.

I think I fell for Lending Tree due to their very lucrative tone in TV commercials. However, it was nothing more than a farce. I received extremely poor offers from several lenders all of which were worse than all the three banks I bank with. Most importantly, Lending Tree would send your info along with social to as many lenders as it pleases. Trust me, there is difference between 3 inquiries and 30 inquiries that matters to your score.

I was able to get the required information, but in the process, got one hard inquiry on my credit report (that is something that I didn't want).

I had over a dozen unauthorized credit inquiries after contacting Lending Tree as Royal United Mortgage is the main culprit---Stay away from both unless you want to spend a lot of your time fixing their incompetence. No accountable, no morals, both are not worthy to even be in business.

I have went on their site. You put information about yourself and it gives you a list of finance companies that might be able to help you... Well it gives you a choice to "E-MAIL" them... Well when you click on the button to "E-Mail" them it automatically sends them something where they check your credit. My score dropped 25 points! I have 6 HARD INQUIRIES on my report now! I'm going to dispute this! It can take up to 2 years for it be off your credit score! You don't even give them the authorization to pull your credit report, It's just a E-Mail option you click on.

What a horrible experience. People use Lending Tree to vet reputable banks that they represent. What a joke. I went through with Gateway Bank in St. Louis. Cost us $2000 with no support from Lending Tree at all. What a fraud!!! Use a local bank.

Long story short, I filled out the form on Lending Tree's website. The phone rang off the wall with lenders calling. Quicken Home Loans, Discover Home loans and Pulaski Bank. The only one that interested me was Pulaski Bank! My credit report got hit by who knows how many lenders. In 60 days, my credit score went from 722 to 593. I thought, "what just happened here?" I talked to my local banker and found out that by filling out that form on Lending Tree, my credit report was hit numerous times by lenders to see what my credit looked like. That will drop your credit score! Do not fill out the Lending Tree form! I am so mad I could scream! Not fair!

False advertisement! I only wanted options but instead got hit in credit score. I was hesitant on giving my ss# but it said it was only to verify my identity, not to push an application to every possible lender in the US. After working so hard on my credit score, I ruined my chances of getting a small business loan in seconds.

I went online "to compare rates" for a mortgage loan. I thought I was going to get a table of interest rates and fees from multiple vendors. So, I filled out the info on the Lending Tree website. As soon as I finished the phone starting ringing off the hook from lenders. I received at least 6 emails from within 15 minutes. Do not give any information to Lending Tree unless you want the calls and emails.

Do not go through Lending Tree for refinance quotes! Since I requested rate information, I have been harassed day and night! Multiple companies are harassing me. One company "guaranteedrate.com" doesn't understand "Do Not Call Me!"

In short, you provide them with all your personal information, and they whore it out to a bunch of lenders for money. What you end up with is over 10 HARD CREDIT INQUIRIES on your credit score. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!

Not only will you get numerous calls right after you give them your info, I did not get all the way through the online forms and quit. I still got call after call, and some of them calling back for follow up months later. I have had to start blocking them on my Iphone and Ooma logs. Tempted to compare them to Herpes, but it might give the STD a bad name. Should be a zero star rating, just give me an online quote.

I was looking for options to refinance my vehicle that has a 22% interest rate. I came across Lending Tree and upon signing up, when it asked to enter my social security number, the message next to it said that it would not affect my credit score. So I finalized my signing up and then got notifications of loan applications being processed. I am a loan originator as well (just couldn't get financed with my company) so I know that if an application is processed by a lender, it means a negative hit on your credit report, which means credit score goes down. I am not happy at all with their misleading. Now I have to contact each lender that has run my application to remove the hit on my credit report. All I wanted were options and what some others potentially had to offer. Not actually apply for these loans!

I tried to get refinance rates and answered a few questions. Then when they asked for my social security number I decided I did not want to use their services and closed my browser. Within minutes, I started getting besieged by multiple lenders calling my cell phone number, which I did NOT provide. I've been getting interrupted at work since. I logged into their website to cancel my account and there is no way to do so that I can find. They had credit information showing and I did not authorize my credit to be pulled and I did not provide my social security number. Unless you are really lonely don't fall for this "loan rates" bit. It's a high-pressure sales scam.

I start apply online for instant quote for HELOC online. I thought Lending Tree is reputation company. The minute I submit for quote, they send affiliation company to call me. However, the lender company used cheating method to have me apply for Cash Out Refinancing and run my credit. After they run it, the lender (Royal United Mortgage) says they do not do HELOC program. Lending Tree did not assign the correct lender company for their customers' need. They just do anything they want to take advantage of any business instead of their reputation. If I can give no Star Rating, I will do it. I won't trust this company that cheated and give me no confidence feeling.

I heard an ad on TV for a free credit score. I said I would try that. Then it takes you through several steps. Then says, “Do you want an auto loan offer among other loans?” I clicked on auto loans. I received 3 offers. Not knowing that I had applied for a loan before I knew it, I had 3 offers that cost me 3 inquiries on my credit report. I am posting this to let everyone know don't make the same mistake that I did. I intend to dispute these inquiries but probably won’t get them removed. I read all the "fine print" after the fact and never saw where any lender has the right to pull a hard inquiry on my personal credit report. I was just looking for interest rates and was not informed of anything like this. I also intend to consult an attorney and try my best to put these scumbags where they belong. DO NOT even consider typing in your browser "lendingtree.com" PLEASE.

Went to them to refinance my car. Now my credit score dropped 89 points because of all the hard credit inquiries. It is not made clear to you what the result of using their service is going to be. It's just hidden in the terms that they are going to send out your information for multiple companies to pull your credit. Don't bother trying to call them to talk about it either... They don't care about you once they already ** your credit over for two years.

In the next few minutes I got no less that 5 calls and 3 emails. I had to tell each of them that I was not interested. I followed what other suggested and changed all my information on the website. But my contact information would have been shared with a bunch of lenders already. So I expect to be getting more calls. Do yourself a favor and avoid this website. I heard each lender may pull your credit if you did provide your SSN.

If you ever have a choice to do business with this company....RUNNN!!! Worst company I have ever dealt with. They do not care about you...just their money and the least amount of work they can possibly do whether it screws you in the process or not. They have a screw you policy...so if I was you I'd have a screw you attitude toward doing business with them AT ALL COSTS! The only way you can affect change with a major company like this is if we all hit them where it hurts...which is in the pockets. Do not give them a dime of your money and if you can waste their money by calling customer support and costing them frivolous labor!!

As other reviewers have complained, I went online to the website and input my information looking for rates and basic info. Within 15 seconds of hitting the submit button I was on the receiving end of no less than 12 phone calls, one after another, from the 317 area code. I was finally able to answer one and let Lending Tree know that I hadn't even had the chance to review the little info I had received, and they had the gall to tell me I would keep receiving calls until I had a conversation with them - that's harassment in its most classic form. All the while during this short call, I was receiving other calls from the 317 area code. I eventually had them remove me from their system (hope they did but likely I'll keep receiving emails and calls).

What these jerks don't bother to tell you, is you even just want to get rates for their lenders, that they will all make a hard pull on your credit. Do yourself a favor and avoid these pigs.

First thing you read from their website "Applicants with good-to-excellent credit can get a low rate personal loan for up to $35,000 through Lending Club." Ridiculous. That "CAN" word is the only true part. I have phenomenal credit and these people offered me way less than I needed plus hiked up my normal percentage rate 3X more for the little amount. They are full of it. I am terribly angry for even sharing my information and I better not find out they are using my information for their own benefit. Ridiculous.

I was searching the internet for basic numbers involving refinancing my home. I came to Lending Tree, and put in basic required information to see if refinancing would be a good option. I was in no way ready to start talking to mortgage lenders, I was simply looking for numbers. The way Lending Tree website is set up, you enter all of your information, don't get any numbers, and they give your number to any and everybody! I had to block calls and deal with rude, pretentious jerks.

Lending Solutions was referred to me by Lending Tree. Over the course of seven months, Brian ** at LSI made a number of misrepresentation to me. I was trying to secure a 30 year fixed jumbo loan. After repeated delays on their part and submitting scores of my financial documents, I was finally told that I had loan approval. I had refused to authorize paying for an appraisal until I received such approval (contingent upon a satisfactory appraisal).

On September 3, 2014 I started checking around for loan rates to do some repair work on my home. I saw Lending Tree could locate what they said were high quality lenders to give me a loan for my repairs. Within minutes of completing my application I had 3 lenders call me to try to get me to work with them. It was after 6 pm in the evening when I finally got those messages so I didn't call them back. At 7 a.m. CST on September 4, 2014 a representative from Royal United Mortgage called me. I didn't answer the phone. They called 6 times until I finally answered. I asked if the woman realized that it was 7 am. She said yes. I asked her to take me off her list. I would not do business with them. Then I hung up. Within 2 minutes another member of Royal United Mortgage called me. I asked them to stop calling me.

I am going to refinance my home, and this website's claims sound great in theory. Fill out one application, get matched with up to five lenders, and voila. I doubted I would actually do business with any of them, but I figured it would be a good start in assessing current rates, etc. You will not be provided any rates whatsoever from this website, but they will however forward your personal data to a bunch of sleazy characters. Literally within seconds of submitting my application, my phone was ringing off the hook. Three of the five matches left me voicemail messages at the same time, and in within one minute of my application! My phone has not stopped ringing since, so I clearly just did a very stupid thing and provided my personal info to a shady business that then forwarded it on to many other shady businesses and who knows how far this problem would stretch. So I had to put my refinance research on hold to put a security freeze on my credit reports. Ugh, what a waste of life. If you are refinancing, do the smart thing. Contact friends, family, any others who own homes, or contact realtors in the area for referrals to reputable lenders.

I applied for a loan through the Lending Tree. My credit was not good enough. They asked if I wanted them to search for other companies that may have a program for me. A few days later I received multiple calls that came up unavailable. When I answered I could hear people talking in the background. I kept say hello, and nobody answered. A few hours later, I received a call from the same and when I said hello a foreign voice answered. He talked about loan programs. When he quoted Me at $200 a month on a $1000 loan I told him that was too much and I thanked him. He said he could lower the monthly fee and asked what I could afford. I said $100 a month. He said we can do that and he placed me on hold, saying he just needed his boss to approve it. He never asked for my SS# or my DOB or my bank acct.

I was looking for rates for a HELCO (home equity line of credit) and tried Lending Tree's service to find lenders and look at their rates. What I got was 24 hours of emails and phone calls from vultures, some of which took the liberty to submit a mortgage for approval. I was looking for a line of credit, not a mortgage, clearly stated in the search drop down on Lending Tree. I did not give any banks any approval to submit a mortgage application on my behalf. I am so angry and disgusted by this practice. I suggest no one ever use Lending Tree or any of their lenders. They all seem like sharks, more interested in my money than actually working with me on my home improvement projects. Why on earth would anyone want to work with these awful people? My concern now is if this will ruin my credit report. If so, I would consider taking legal action.

I have had two very bad experiences with lending tree and the lending companies they are affiliated with. On both occasions, I was unable to leave a review against the lender. After the bad experience, when I logged into my account, I was unable to find the lender to leave a bad review. This tells me that Lending Tree is about the lender and the money they get from those transactions rather than supplying a decent service to the consumers. There should at least be a time period where the lender is not able to remove the ability for the consumer to leave a review about them.

I happen to be shopping for a mortgage and happened to see a LT ad inside an app I was using. I never click through things like this but I happened to this time and wish I hadn't. The first warning was when the phone calls started coming immediately. No offers, no rates, not the internet shopping experience I wanted, just hungry sales people right out of Glengarry Glen Ross. I knew it was really bad when I got a call from a cruise line, not even a mortgage lender. I should have known better.

I have worked for a company that purchased these leads. I agree that the information needs to be more clearly displayed to applicants. By the time we get a hold of these people we get screamed because they were not fully disclosed on what to expect. I don't really blame people for being upset either.

You really don't see the issue! I sent you everything by the 4th of June! You gave me the impression that everything would be done around the 16th, never to the 7th of July! They said the paperwork was lost for over 20 days and they had just gotten it; by then it was July 7th. I told you I was out of work on temporary disability. You never noted in any of your messages to continue making any mortgage payments due to the fact that everything was moving fine. I was disabled temporarily and you knew it according to the recorded messages. Either you make this right or I intend on Filing a large felony lawsuit against you and Lending Tree.

As soon as I gave Lending Tree my information, they sent it to any number of undisclosed companies. If you live in certain states with sufficient consumer protection laws, they will provide that information via letter. Those companies then contacted me without my explicit consent because by the time I'd finished creating an account on Lending Tree, I had consented that they be allowed to share my information with any companies they decide to do business with.

I tried Lending Tree to look for lenders when buying a house. They will spam you with phone calls from lenders. More important, they gave Experian my credit card number without my knowledge and charged me $12 a month for "credit monitoring". There's no indication they're charging you, and you have to call to cancel. Everyone should dispute these charges with his credit card company.

At first I was mainly annoyed that they reneged on their claim to respect my privacy as evidenced by the hundreds of phone calls I've received (and continue to receive) since my informational inquiry. But just now, I checked my credit report and saw that my rating has gone from 701 (borderline excellent) to FAIR, all because I had 3 hard credit checks done by their affiliated lenders. This is despite Lending Tree's promise that only soft checks would be made! I really wish there were something I could do about it because I don't use a lot of credit and have been trying to improve my credit rating so I can get a HELOC. Thanks to Lending Tree, my chances are now next to nil. How can I be sure that no one else does a hard credit check on me?

First, about the middle of May, we contacted Lending Tree and was contacted by a Mr. Russell ** who said he was with Lending Tree (a company named E Lend) and would begin our application. Well, after 2 weeks we found out he was not at all with Lending Tree. We contacted Lending Tree and was told they knew of no one by that name or that company. Time wasted. So, the first wk. of June, we were given Wells Fargo, Nathan, to begin the processing of our app. After another week of waiting for follow-up on our app. which never came, we called and were told we had no ongoing credit, at least three.

"When banks compete, you win." Sounded perfect for me when I needed a home equity loan. I have outstanding credit and it seemed that banks would want to compete to loan money to me. How naive! First of all, there was no competition. Lending Tree only connected me with one lender, Quicken Loans. Quicken Loans is not a bank, and they don't even offer the product I am shopping for (a fixed rate home equity loan). Instead of banks competing to offer me what I need, I've been bombarded with unwanted phone calls, emails and mailings from a non-bank trying to sell me products (refi of my nonexistent mortgage, variable rate heloc) that I don't want. Ugh. I wished I'd read the online reviews before I looked at Lending Tree's website. No one competed and I didn't win.

I am so sorry I did not read more of this company before closing the deal. Unfortunately, I did some research but when I saw BBB gave them an A+, I assumed I was taking a good loan. They have HIDDEN FEES. They charged me $1,000 set up fee and added $25 in addition to every payment I will make monthly for the next 36 months ($900) more. I made a bad deal. I wish this comment help others. As a matter of fact, I think I will contact BBB and try to post something to see if there is anything borrowers like me could do. Also, maybe contacting a lawyer or something to establish a class action lawsuit... Any ideas? Please share.

I recently submitted a request to Lending Tree for mortgage lenders for a house we had signed a contract to buy. Within minutes of my email request, I had several mortgage brokers calling me. I followed up with one of them in part because there were positive reviews for this broker on the Web. However, after going back and forth with this broker over a ten-day time period and giving him all my credit and financial information, I finally received a good faith estimate (GFE) from him which showed that his loan origination fee was a whopping 1.75%.

Just bought a new car and thought I might try to get a better rate than 5.6 %. Filled out an app. on lending tree and within 10 min got a phone call from some lender named rategenius.com. Told him I wanted a better rate to lower my payments. My current loan is a 78 mth. term. He went through several options and finally settled on a 4.6 %, saving me $12.60 per mth. When he sent the paperwork and I copied it, I looked over it closely and found it was an 84 mth loan at 4.66 %. When I compared it to my current loan, I found that RG was going to charge me $635.52 more for the life of the loan and 6 more payments. How in the world is $12.16 less per mth going to save me? E-mailed him and told him I wasn't interested and was going to look elsewhere or stay with my current loan. He kept bothering me, but I ignored him. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!

I contacted Lending Tree and they placed me on their do not call list. I've finally stopped getting phone calls.

I am registered on the "Do Not Call List" and have never done business with these folks but for some reason they won’t stop calling me 4-6 times a day. Have asked several times to not be called but on it goes. Will never do business with them after what I read here and my own experience. Filed complaints with FCC and BBB as well.

Wells Fargo was the only reputable loan company who contacted me. I did not realize that Lending Tree sent applications to a million places. I have people calling me left and right, all day with crazy high interest rates and none of them speak good English, which I have no problem with, but I totally can't understand them and I ask to be taken off their calling list and they won't do it. I want off Lending Tree's list and I hope no one ever applies on here, because they won't remove your profile. Now I have to look for a loan with a million applications showing up on my credit report. It'll make my loan score go down.

We were wanting to refinance our loan, and did not have any company that we knew of to create the refi. So we went to Lending Tree and put in our information. As soon as I hit the enter key we started to receive calls, and we are still receiving calls a month later. It was like dealing with used car salesmen, plus everyone that we answered the phone did a hard credit check, with no permission from us. I use Credit Karma and kept getting alerts that someone has submitted a credit report, when we did not authorize anyone to do a credit check. If I can, I would give them no stars. We eventually went with an out of state friend instead of anyone from Lending Tree. If I could give less than 1 star I would.

I contacted lending tree to see about getting a mortgage. The site did nothing to help me but cause more telemarketer phone calls. I do not have the best credit, I am in the process of rebuilding it. This company had a third party call me and insult me because I would not use their services. They did not understand the word NO, the person on the phone became very rude and basically told me I was stupid, because I did not want to have more companies call me and tell me you have to pay for this service in order to get your credit back on track. Guess what I am a single mother and I am doing the best I can with no help, I don't have the extra money to pay for services that I am already getting for FREE. Paying for something that I already get for free would be STUPID. Even if the company I am working with is not the best it is helping me, and I am getting back on track to having a better credit score.

I am trying to rebuild my credit. I completely ruined it by being irresponsible, among other things. About a year ago, I finally got a car loan albeit it has a very high interest rate, but it was a beginning. I paid the huge payment every single WEEK for over a year. Recently obtained a secure credit card. The fee was $99.00 for a credit limit of $400.00. I was also approved for a $400.00 store credit card and fee based credit card with a small limit from Capitol One. I thought it was a good time to look into refinancing the high interest rate car loan.

Go to Valley Bank. Plain and simple what they tell you your closing costs will be is exactly what they will be. I was a little skeptical at first just waiting for the hidden costs and false reasons why my closing costs were going to be as much as $10,000 more, yes $10,000 Like Lending Tree did to me. What **, they could have secured a safe and secure loan for themselves. The amount to be refinanced and the equity in the house any mortgage co. would jump on the opportunity. Everything Lending Tree said was downright lies and not just one or two people, I had several people calling me from Lending Tree on this matter and they all sing the same tune theft. I would like to see consumer affairs and our government put them out of business and prosecute any if not all employees who practice this vicious and deceitful way of doing business. By the way I do not work or have any association with Valley Bank. I'm just stating a fact, the price Valley told me was the price I paid. Watch all other loan institutions. They all for the most part change their closing costs by thousands of dollars even using words with government in them to make themselves look good. If Lending Tree wants to dispute this, I have taped conversations with several of their employees.

I was contacted by Doug ** at CNN Mortgage when I applied for a quote through Lending Tree. The person contacted me and I sent all my information in. I was sent an email saying I was approved for one amount. I had forgot to send my retirement information in so after I had forwarded that information I received another email for a higher amount. Through telephone conversation and being told how to do things (questionable) about getting approved for a higher amount I went to realtor about building a house. When I contacted the lender that I was ready to move forward I started getting a bad feeling in my stomach from the things I was being told.

I really regret trying to pursue refinancing my mortgage with this company. They are bad news. This company neglected to lock in my rate when they should have. Instead of being up-front and telling me about it, they strung me along for over a week. They pretended that they could close each day while they hoped that the rates came back down to what we had agreed on. They came up with every excuse they could think of, even to the point where the loan officer said that he was sick in bed. Only when I demanded to speak with someone else did I discover this unethical and unprofessional behavior.

Honestly I shopped rates with LendingTree thinking it would save me time and money. Really, it was a waste of time. I couldn't stop the calls and emails from them and a ton of mortgage companies who were not helpful. Try The Lenders Network. They actually look at your financial situation and only match you with a couple of lenders that have loan programs that are a fit.

I thought I'd try LendingTree to survey mortgage refinance rates so dutifully filled out all of the relevant information. That was nine months ago and although I have long since completed the refi, I continue to get call about refinance offers. While the volume of calls and email has tapered off (for the first three or so months was unbelievable), it's completely clear that LT sells your data every database available. It's useless to ask the callers to stop because they've told me that I now show up on lists that they buy.

I applied for a loan with Lending Tree (out of convenience) and was offered several deals at monumental APR's. I did bite the bullet and chose one at 17.99. My fico score is almost perfect and all three credit agencies have me at Good - Very Good credit scores. I have no collections and no negatives reports. My risk rate is at 2%. I was turned down for the loan and the explanation given was that my I had too much revolving credit balance. That seems strange because the balances are always paid at the end of the month and my report indicates that very fact. Lending Tree reminds me of a little organization named Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac circa 2007-2008.

I had a similar experience to many of the other reviewers. Spent 2 months in the process, I approved no more than $495 for an appraisal, they charged $575 - the guy spent 15 minutes, used info from a public records database which was wrong and appraised it for way below other comps in my building and in neighborhood. Loan officer stopped returning my calls, and I'm supposed to be getting a refund of the $80 but that hasn't happened. It was a waste of time and money, and yes, continually getting spammed.

I went through Lending Tree to refinance through the HARP 2.0. They matched me up with many lenders and LSI Mortgage Plus out of St. Louis, MO had the best offer. I started the process through email with Eric ** Senior Finance Manager on 7/1/13 with a 30 year fixed rate, loan amount for $172,000, interest rate of 3.125% and monthly payments of $705. I would pay for the closing cost myself, and my property taxes so as not to include it with the new mortgage and he agreed. He said we need to order an appraisal for $405.00. I gave my credit card for the fee. I ordered the appraisal for the 7/13/13.

This company pulled a hard inquiry on my TransUnion credit report without my consent. I was referred to them by Lendingtree.com after submitting an online application on Lending Tree website. Lending Tree stated that it will be a soft pull on my credit report in order for them to offer me the best loan. The next day, I received an alert from TransUnion to inform me there is a hard inquiry from Avant Credit. I called Avant Credit to request for them to remove the inquiry since I did not submit the application through them and they refused to do so claiming that I did submit an application with them.

I have tried for months to get my name off the mailing list. I have no need or wish for a loan but every day, I get another email in my spam folder. What does it take to get off these lists? HELP.

I filled out forms and nothing seems like it's a company that just gathers your info and for what. It makes you wonder if they selling it to China for fraud. No return calls, no referrals. What a waste of time and stress. I'm wondering why they take your info and never do anything. I did however get my email so loaded with spam mail ever since I submitted my form. Way to go, **.

I have tried to unsubscribe, but I still get spam everyday. How can I get them to stop? Is there a government agency I can contact?

Let's be clear here. One angry star is still not good enough for this company. My husband and I contacted this company to refinance our home as well as some rentals we own. They seemed so on the ball and accommodating, until it got down to the nitty-gritty. We paid them $450 for the appraisal, which was done by a local appraiser. He never did get paid. Then when we tried to contact the company and no one would return our calls. After several attempts, my husband found out from another Lending Tree business that the office we had worked with had closed its doors. Apparently pretty quickly.

Ever since I filled out the information with Lending Tree, I have been swamped with spam from other companies than recommended. Hundreds stating that my credit rating is great and I need to act on one offer or another. Additionally, my wife has received physical requests in the mail for refinancing our home - again from unknown lenders, but with details such as payoff value. This is very disturbing and I will never use the service again.

I applied for a loan and they sent out an 18-year-old woman to give an appraisal. It was her first week. It cost me almost 500 bucks for her to tell me my house's value was about $30k when the tax value was $125k. They had no intention of working out any loans, just making money on appraisal. I have asked to be removed from email many times and they keep coming. I have no idea how they can continue to do business and blatantly rob people.

I applied for home loan on my current home at (TheLendingTree.com) to refinance and take out some monies to do some repairs. I thought how convenient the credit application. It asked if I wanted to take money out, so I typed yes. Then they asked for what type of remodel or repairs. I wrote windows and siding. I'll be damned the very next day, I got a call from Sears wanting to schedule my window appointment? Then I started to worry someone hacked my computer. Then Easter Sunday I got a call from Home Depot and I'll be dammed, same thing - wanting to schedule my free window estimate.

Lendingtree.com states it is a soft pull on credit, and if you apply, they will do a hard pull. I checked the credit report and four companies pulled my credit. Fraud! This is ridiculous. Other people also had this problem.

Lendingtree.com states it is a soft pull on credit and if you apply, they will do a hard pull. I checked credit report and four companies pulled my credit. Fraud! I'm hiring an attorney to fix this issue now!

We filled out info on LendingTree to find out what interest rates were available for a house loan and they're calling us approx. 30 times/day! Considering how many complaints there are, there's got to be a lawful way to force them to stop?!

I went to Lending Tree to find out about refinancing my home. I have had 14 phone calls within 24 hours! I will not go with any of those lenders; I will use a local lender.

In a pickle, I submitted information to Lending Tree and I wish I had not. I have called 5 times (at least) and each time the person on the phone is very cordial and takes my information to get my name off their mailing list. It has been 4 months and I am still getting bi-weekly emails that take up most of the "work PC" memory I am allowed. I cannot imagine what it would be like to actually have a loan with this company. I am planning to contact the Better Business Bureau as my next step.

It sounds like I have the same issue as many others. I have unsubscribed from their spam (I don't remember ever signing up in the first place), and no matter how many times I unsubscribe, I still get the emails all the time clogging up my email. It is quite frustrating! I have tried clicking "Still receiving emails after unsubscribing?" But after I enter my email on that screen and hit search, it just searches endlessly and nothing happens.

After my original post, the customer service department from Lending Tree immediately contacted me and worked to resolve my issue. They contacted the lender who would not respond to me and was able to get the full $850 refunded to my credit card. I am very satisfied that Lending Tree worked hard to successfully resolve my issue. They are even investigating the lender further to make sure this does not happen to others.

I filled out their form. To put it short, I have had hundreds of spam emails for this site and to top it off, I was dumb enough to give them my bank account information so they said I was approved for a loan and charged me a $30 processing fee. I have called them 4 different times. Each time, they give me some fake website to go to for me to get my loan and yesterday I called again, only for them to tell me within 24 hours the lender would be calling me. Guess what? There was no call. They have now billed me twice, once on 11/06/12 and once on 11/14/12 so that's $30 every 8 days for a loan which I never received. I am now minus in the bank so all together they have cost me $90 and I just don't know what to do. It's nice of them to steal from a broke single mother!

I don't know what is going on with this company, but I get massive spam to every username on my server from Lending Tree. I'm not sure how many, but it looks like hundreds of messages possibly. These guys are relentless spammers.

Sales said, “Plenty of equity, give us $500 processing fee.” Part of this goes to an appraiser who won’t show me his license and reports to LT a value that is $450k less than the amount I was told by sales. Goodbye, $500.

The website looks great: choose what type of loan you want, enter some basic information and "send" it. In seconds, several offers and options come back from about three brand name lenders. Terrific, I choose the best one, and send off an inquiry through the Lending Tree website to that lender. Within minutes, I start getting emails from lenders I never heard of asking me to send my information to them. After a couple of days, I didn't hear back from the brand name lender, so I contacted Lending Tree customer service. I explained the issue and the CSR said she would contact the lenders who in turn would call me within 24 hours. After a week, there's still nothing except I am still getting emails from the flaky lenders. It seems to me, LT is just a bait-and-switch operation, promising to hook you up with great lenders but instead sending you to some bottom-feeders.

Lending Tree is giving out information about us. We’re getting phone calls from a mortgage company. We never asked about a loan.

I filled out one of their forms and filled all but my address, phone and SSN because I wasn't comfortable doing so. I hit submit or whatever and it told me to fill that stuff out. But before I did, I looked up these reviews and was instantly convinced to find someplace else. Even though I didn't fill out the information completely, they still took my email address and have been spamming me everyday for a week and a half now. I'm just glad I got off with the spamming.

I started the process back in the end of May. I received the appraisal around June. It came in less than I expected, so I had to come up with extra money so I didn’t incur PMI. I was okay with that. I uploaded everything they requested. Now, 2 months later, the girl told me I’m days away from closing and then I don’t hear from her for a week. Today, I received a revised appraisal that is $40,000 less than the original appraisal two months ago. She said she was sorry, adding that she didn’t even know they were doing that and there is nothing she can do but possibly do another appraisal and that won’t cost me anything. At this point, they have wasted over 2 months of my time and effort. I told them to just close the processing and I will go through someone else. I should have read these reviews before going with them.

I filled out a form with Lending Tree to check on a mortgage refinance because my Credit Union was dragging their feet. What a huge mistake that turned out to be. Three minutes later, I received an email and a phone call from Freedom Debt Relief. I told them, "No, thanks and don't bother me in the future." Of course, this approach did not work, so I tried again, telling them to expect a letter from my lawyer. Their response was since I contacted them first, they were not obligated to stop. It appears that Lending Tree turns your file over to these charlatans if there is more than $20,000 credit card debt on your credit file. If this applies to you, I would recommend borrowing from someone else.

I have received multiple calls to my cell phone and it is listed on the Do Not Call List!

Regardless of how many times I unsubscribe from Lending Tree, I continue to receive emails every day. I have called their customer care center and spoke with someone who told me his supervisor would take care of this matter. Today, I received yet another email from Lending Tree. I have called; I have emailed; I have unsubscribed and Lending Tree continues to harass me through unsolicited emails. On their website where is states "Unsubscribe All," I have on a daily basis clicked that box, to no avail. I have tried to edit my email address from their site and there is no way to do that. This company is absolutely horrible in the way they conduct their business, in my opinion, and I would never use their services and I feel sorry for anyone who has if they treat others with as little regard as I have been treated.

Bank of America sold my home mortgage to LendingTree. If you are one day late, they call your neighbors and bother them about your loan.

Did not close on time our Florida vacation home but next day due to mistakes in contract, which had to be rewritten. I had to give my husband power of attorney (additional running, nerves, etc.) since only he was in Florida and I was at work in Kansas City. Thanks to that, we were in legal default for a day. Lending Tree very inaccessible by phone, does not return your calls. No partnership whatsoever, and we have close to perfect FICO score (upper 700) and more money on our acct. than we needed, and could buy house with cash. We also have good, long term employment. If they treated us (good customer) this way, I can only imagine how they will treat someone with less than perfect scores and accounts. Stay away from Lending Tree. Will not recommend even to my enemy.

A few years ago, I applied for a $5000 loan. I was told I was approved via a phone conversation. I had submitted my account number for the direct deposit. However, shortly after, my handbag, with the debit card for the account the money was to be deposited into, was stolen. It was an AccountNow prepaid debit card; therefore, I did not use the money. I believe it has been held against me. All effort to retrieve the money has proven futile to date. Since that time, I am being denied each time I reapply for a loan. My SSN is **. Please withdraw the money from the AccountNow account(s) you had deposited the money to and then contact me to arrange how I may deposit the money to different accounts or send me a check. Thank you in advance. Please contact me via email.

With mortgage rates low, my wife and I wanted to refinance our home to lower payments and interest costs. We completed the information requested by Lending Tree and then selected one of their "preferred" lenders, LSI Mortgage Plus. LSI advertised "no closing cost" (origination fee, points, etc). We were contacted by Edmund from LSI who told us there would be a fee for the appraisal, which I can understand. We were then contacted by Clay from LSI and when I asked about fees, he said only the "hard costs" (filing fees, state taxes, etc) approximately $1700 which would include the appraisal.

Kept raising the closing price. At close, raised again and I didn't sign. They tried to fast talk and excuse every mistake and didn't remember what they told me. I had all the emails to prove their words. Don't go to Lending Tree.

We had recently discussed refinancing our home and I spoke with Lydia at LendingTree, who was very pleasant. We discussed the specifics of the refinance and I faxed over the information that she asked for and was very impressed with the rates and the payments she was giving me. Well almost two weeks later, and I still have not heard back from her at all. I have made multiple calls to her with no response back. I will never contact this company again. The least you could have your employees do is to return a call, no matter what the outcome would be. This is very unethical behavior on your company's behalf. I will tell anyone who would ever ask if I would deal with your company and the answer would be no!

I was on another website, looking at cars. On a page was a link for cheap rates. I never do this. I always go with my bank and decided to try, and I have not heard anything at all. I am not happy that Lending Tree sends your information to other lenders. I wish I would have never applied for an auto loan. I will not do it again. There needs to be a disclosure on the return time before you submit and apply.

I filled out the auto loan with all my information, which I do not like to do, but I thought I could trust Lending Tree. I did not get any response after I filled out the form. I tried calling and no one answered. I tried emailing and no one emailed back. I tried chat line but no one was ever there! This company sucks and I will report them to the BBB.

After scamming me into an appraisal, they also bounced my app. The clown who showed up to do the appraisal was high as a kite and asked me the same questions at least three times each. That's why they call it dope, right? I protested loudly (as I'm a PR guy by trade) and got no satisfaction. I went to the office manager, who basically told me, "Sorry, but that's the way it goes." I ended up selling the house myself at a huge loss, but survived and moved back downtown in Chicago where I grew up. I have a nice condo on the Gold Coast, so all okay. Bottom line: LendingTree is a total rip off and, as trees go, pure poison oak!

I went with Lending Tree as a recommendation from a family member. Horrible decision! They reviewed all of my paperwork before telling me to pay $400 for an appraisal, which would be returned once the loan went through. I asked our account rep if he was sure that it would go through. We don't have just $400 to spend or go to waste. He assured me that everything looked great and that they had to have the appraisal in order to go forward with the loan. We paid the money and got the appraisal. We were told everything was moving forward, then nothing. I went to log in to our account to see the status and a notice came up that the loan had been closed! I called our rep who hadn't bothered to call me to let us know what was going on, and was told me that we were denied for insufficient funds!

Lending Tree is spamming me to death. How does Lending Tree ever think I would do business with them after spamming me constantly for months on end?

Auto loan - The form wouldn't take info on the car. I don't like giving out my SS number when the form is not receiving all the inputted data.

Take me off the email list. They do not make it easy and provide an unsubscribe function. I'm tired of receiving unsolicited emails from their company.

My story regarding my recent experience with LendingTree is truly a small people vs. large corporation situation. I would suggest employing truthful people to face your potential customers. The loan broker I was working with caused me a lot of heartache and a loss of thousands of dollars. On the initial search, their broker, Ramon **, provided me with an initial rate and fees (3.35, 30 years/$160 fees). Each day that I spoke to him after that, he raised the rate and the fees. Sometimes, he raised it twice a day; and sometimes even while I was on the phone with him! After 4 days of raising the rate/fees, he asked me to pay with a credit card for the appraisal.

LT sent me to Royal Mortgage for a refinance. My credit is horrible but Tim at RM told me we he was not in the business to financially hurt anybody knowing that he was doing just that. I spent $455 on the appraisal after my credit was checked and scores where approved. The week of closing, they pulled my loan and canceled my refinance.

Spam email from Lending Tree: I am getting hundreds of email spam soliciting Lending Tree. Can you do anything to stop this?

You are a spammer. I am getting 50 -100 spam messages into my business every day with your damn ads. Spam is illegal. Stop it. I am contacting every government agency I can go to after you. You are a spammer, and your business will fold.

I paid an extra $1000 to Lending Tree for absolutely nothing. I asked my loan officer time and time again, "Are these all the costs?" I was like a broken record. Each time, I was assured the cost would not go up. He even said to me, "Don't be so paranoid." In the end, they added on $1000 to my closing costs and never said a word. They just slipped it in on the last document. When I complained, they assured me it would be credited back and, "Just sign the docs and we'll credit it back next week." It never happened. They knew they had me. It made feel like a real sucker!

After sending all my personal information in to refinance my home and my appraisal of my home, I could not get a hold of the loan officer anymore. He ignored all my e mails and voice mails, and all i wanted to check on was my status of the refinancing.

I spoke with Ash ** at Lending Tree to inquire about approximate closing costs. He insisted he could not answer any of my questions without some very personal information. I gave him all of the information he asked for, and then decided not to refinance my home due to closing costs, needing to be rolled into the loan. I was not able to come up with all of the closing costs in cash, and did not want to add them to my loan balance. After only 2 short weeks, I am now inundated with junk mail, spam, and phone calls. I don't know if they sold my information, or just shared it, but I have received 11 offers to refinance my home for the exact current payoff, and several other offers, for amounts in the same ballpark.

This company is nothing more than a scam. They ask for very personal info and after they get that info and pass it on to other companies. They find a lame reason to decline your loan. Then they refuse to return the $400 that you gave them and they replied they would return if the loan was refused. Don’t let these scammers scam you out of money. They are a joke. Maybe the BBB will put them out of business and leave the thieves in the street.

2 1/2 years ago, I applied for their service in order to see if I could refinance my house during a crunch. I begin getting offers to refinance and they've never stopped. Unless you want these offers for the rest of your life, do not give these people any information!

I asked Lending Tree for auto loans. I was expecting to be connected to lenders. My email and phone numbers were given to Autobytel, which further forwarded this information to auto dealers in my neighborhood. I did not authorize any of this. I have been receiving several emails and phone calls from auto dealers. I am also concerned the auto dealers can provide my email address to other third-party spammers.

I applied online for an auto loan. The 48 hour decision was actually 96 and then they refused me, I have perfect credit with a score 780+. 2 weeks later, they called me and said a loan specialist will call me in 10 minutes. 4 hours later, a debt restructuring company called me. Oh dear! Better go elsewhere. These guys don't have a clue. Now, I have unwanted phone calls day and night from people wanting to offer me high APR loans or debt restructuring. I have great credit and zero debt.

I expressed an interest in a loan refinance and since then I got multiple phone calls at home. I called LendingTree.com to have the calls stopped and was told an email would be sent out. Well hours, then days later, I'm still getting calls.

My experience overall was horrible. They talk a good talk and every time you have another conversation, it is this or that and you end up spending more than you are saving. They are rip-off artists in the true sense. I am only glad I called it quits and caught on to their game. I plan on filing a complaint with the BBB and Consumer Protection Agency in Massachusetts. The do not deserve a rating. They are in the negative numbers as far as I am concerned.

I completed an online "interested in refinance" questionnaire from Lending Tree, which indicated that the 3 best banks would contact me. Big mistake. Over 10 banks have called and emailed me, and I now receive unwanted sales calls every hour of the day and night, on a new cell phone which number I have never given out. Clearly, Lending Tree sells personal private information, without clear and complete agreement from consumers. I have completely lost trust in Lending Tree, and will not respond to their own emails and calls.

I was helping my elderly mother-in-law to refinance, and Lending Tree rushed out to do the appraisal. Little did we know that the appraisal process has been over regulated and this appraisal was used as a tool to try to lock us into their loan and they refused to transfer the loan. I have refinanced many times and this company was absolutely no help at all and used this appraisal to try to lock us into their over-priced loan closing costs and higher interest rate. Because of this, my 69 year old mother-in-law had to pay for another appraisal and she is only on Social Security. We were forced to get another appraisal, thanks to the lack of Lending Tree fully disclosing this information. What a bunch of misleading **! I requested a refund but they never responded. Never do a loan over the internet especially with this company!

We were contacted for refinancing of home loan and debt consolidation from SurePoint Lending which was bought out by Lending Tree. The information given in the first phone contact gave us the promise of an easy straight forward loan. After faxing all the information that was stated we needed, we started the process with Sure Point Lending.

I went for a refinance to pay off my ex-wife in divorce settlement. I told them I had timeline of 2 1/2 months. It's been four and no deal. They say everything is good but we need one more item. I resent the item as they have lost it. This has happened four times. They say we are all set then they ask for something else. I have two commitment letters. I am on the 3rd settlement letter and each one has raised the amount due. At first it was $8,000; now it's over $10,000.

Lending Tree contacted me in late October 2011 and advised that since I was a previous customer, I qualified for a $2000 credit if I refinance now. I asked him to send me something in writing and he said I needed to pay $250 for an appraisal so he could have actual to use. I agreed and the appraisal was done. They sent me a disclosed statement that showed charges of $1983 but a refi balance $10000 above what I owed. My wife sent an email declining the refi. They called her back and gave a bunch of double talk about where the extra $8000 came from. She again told them no.

In attempting a refinance I provided all documents on the 2nd day after contact. They opened up a web account for me. Immediately after paying the appraisal fee, the website failed and I was told I didn't need it anyway. I had a friend make contact to get the website fixed. Since then I was told that the appraisal was set but it wasn't, though the website indicated it was.

There are a lot of good quality lawyers in Southeast Michigan. James ** of Schmier Law (Birmingham, MI), is not one of them. While representing Case No. GC 09 1653 in the Michigan 46th District Court, he did nothing, because he didn't know what to do. So, he petitioned the court to withdraw, and he did. He also presented the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, a "bogus retainer agreement". He did. According to Schmier, he sent (2) copies of the retainer agreement to client via U.S. mail, but neither of the two were returned to him. Pure **. Right! Laugh. Go ahead and laugh.

All I wanted to comment on is that this site saved me. Thanks to this site and all of the people who cared enough to comment about their experience with Lending Tree, they saved me a terrible experience. Thanks to all of you! I was and still am shopping around to refinance.

I applied for a personal loan through them and they are denying, but somehow, another company got my information and said they were through Lending Tree. What's weird is that they had my personal information. They were called harborequitygroup.com and you can even see other reports about them on **. They have other complaints about Lending Tree there. I am now out $768 because of all this and I will never do business with them again because they can't protect their information. They have told me they are not in their network, but how did they get my information from them?

I would give Lending Tree and LSI Mortgage Plus no stars if this site would let me choose zero. However, it forced me to choose at least one! It's a horrible company. Never do business with them! I sought out a refinance loan from Lending Tree over 4 months ago. I was sent a list of lenders they worked with that would work with me, based on the application I filled out on their website. I ended up deciding to go with a company that they recommend called LSI Mortgage Plus. It's the 2nd worst mistake ever! I based my choice on research. LSI promised a quick turn around to refinance of 10 to 14 days (notice at the start out saying 4 months ago). Yes it's been 4 months and I am yet to close on my refinance. This should be a quick and easy thing. Because unlike many these days, my home actually has about 60,000 dollars in equity. And I am not upside down nor have I ever missed a payment on the original loan.

It amazes me how uneducated the people who rant on these sites are. I find it amusing. Think about this. A mortgage cannot make a loan, if they have a short appraisal. Mortgage companies get paid from closed loans. Why would they be scamming appraisals not to do loans? They would not get paid if that is the case. It seems like common sense to me. To those below who feel LendingTree is the reason your home was appraised less, I suggest you research the HVCC (Home Valuation Code of Conduct). It is illegal for any mortgage company to have any communication with appraisers.

I have been working on a refinance for 3 months, only to find out after all the paperwork I provided that I would not be approved for the loan. All through the process, they said everything looked good, but they were waiting for rates to go down to lock it in. My purpose for refinance was for cash back to pay off outstanding bills. Not only will I not get the loan, but because they dragged their butt for 3 months, I now have a bad rating on my credit score. Thanks to Lenders Direct & Jamal Singh for screwing me.

I began the process and was provided general information on the refinance, rate, and fees of approximately $2500. The appraiser came to the house for 5 minutes and gave me an appraisal of approximately $30,000. I have not received a copy of the appraisal. Lending Tree then requested additional payments to close ($9,000). They did a lot of back and forth over the following 2 months with excessive requests from underwriter, requests for information previously provided and out of the blue, I am told we must close in 5 days. LT scheduled an attorney to close without telling me of the appointment, just found out from the closer when he called to get directions.

Lending Tree is a lousy, tricky and dishonest company. Lending Tree only found me one lender instead of four. They also tricked me in signing for a Credit Monitoring membership, by hiding the offer with small print and under the cover of free credit report. All I thought I was doing was to apply for a free credit report. Next thing I know they were charging my debit card, $12.00/month for credit monitoring service which I did not want or asked for. And now they refused to refund the money. Just save yourself with headache and do not do business with lending tree.

I started the process with Adam. He told me the rate would be 4.125%. I was charged $400 for appraisal and said Adam was on a leave of absence. Mariah was now in charge. Appraisal came in $50,000 lower than 1 year before. The house was built and is brand new. Supposedly, LT appealed the result to the appraisal company, but they would not change it. A real estate agent sent LT home sales showing our value should be higher. I did not hear from LT for weeks and I had to call them. I went over and over information (many phone calls and much time spent), only to find out the rate was higher and we did not qualify for the original terms. I'm in the process of starting again with other companies. I will file a complaint with credit card company for refund of fee.

I called many companies to refinance my home and fell victim in the same way as the many stories I've read here... Just wish I had read this all first.

I went on Lending Tree and got about 10 people calling me and went with Quicken Loans. It was a big mistake. They lied and was giving me the run around that took about 7 weeks. I usually don't recommend people but the guys at ENG Lending closed us in less than a week and they did a great job.

I have sent in request forms to Lending Tree to stop sending me solicitations to my e-mail account. All I get is more of the same spam as usual. Can you help to stop this from happening?

Spoke to a young lady regarding a refi. I have done this many times before so I am well aware of the drill. She was very condesending flip and I just wanted the rates. I have been quoted rates by other companies and did not have to go thru the drill so I told her we should stop the conversation. She literally HUNG the PHONE up on me. Suggestion to your company teach your reps some manners

I am getting a number of emails daily and have spent hours trying to unsubscribe to those. However, I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. I do not want these constant emails and I've never asked for them.

I am so glad I found this site. I was searching for a mortgage company; and Lending Tree was at the top of the search engine list. All I can say is, I would not do business with this company ever, after reading everyone's post. I thank you all so much for posting your complaints and informing other consumers of the bad business practices of Lending Tree. Just one question comes to mind, "Why are they getting away with this?"

Daily, I receive e-mails from Lending Tree. In the first place, I cannot open their e-mails. So, I must go to their website in order to cancel out their e-mails. I have told them three times that I do not wish to receive their e-mails and would they please remove me from their e-mail list. They stop for a short period of time and then resume sending these unwanted e-mails. What can I do to stop these piranhas from sending me e-mails? They work thru a company that send me also unwanted e-mails. Therefore, I am deluged with e-mails that I cannot open and try to cancel, but cannot. What are my options in this matter? It is time consuming and detracts from other responsibilities I must perform. It is also very aggravating mentally to receive the same unwanted e-mails every day.

I keep getting spam from them in my email, I have ased to be put on their no call list, but I keep getting emails from them.

I have unsubscribed numerous times as I keep getting spam from lending tree.com and every time I do, I get 3X more spam. Very annoying.

Lending Tree sent an advertisement to borrow money and I clicked on the "Unsubscribe" and the next page came up as Google Chrome not working. I do NOT want to receive this kind of mail and never asked for it.

I get on a average 17 spam messages from lending tree. I've already sent a complaint to the Oregon attorney generals office.This is BS and they have no right. I wouldn't do business with them if they were the last company left.

I receive an email from Lending Tree almost daily. I have filled out several "unsubscribe" notices to no avail. The emails continue. I do not want to receive ads from Lending Tree and if they do not stop I will take it further!

Lending Tree strikes again! They had me pay for an appraisal and then denied my loan. But, it gets better. I found out later that I was lied to about my loan being approved and the appraisal was prematurely ordered. I was also lied to about policies that were in place such as:

I dealt with Patty G. for my home refinance and she was a great pleasure to work with. I had no issues during the whole refinance process and would suggest her to anyone interested in doing a loan.

It appears obvious with all of these complaints of the exact same nature that the lending tree is about getting the $400-$600 fee and not about closing loans. Make sure you make these complaints to the BBB (** and go to the lending tree in Charlotte). By their score it seems that they must actually pay attention to complaints lodged there. There was no damage done to me, thanks to these accounts.

The same thing that happened to everyone else happened to us. They basically appraised each of our properties at $400 each. And then, they told us there was an error in their figures and the loans could not go through. We tried to contact them for many days. They do have caller ID. It's because at one point they answered the phone addressing me by my name. We eventually called our credit card company and disputed the charges. We were refunded the money eventually. This was a very long and difficult process that we went through. I would never do any business with them again.

I tried to refinance and cash-out on September 2010. My home value was $475,000 at Chase Home mortgage e-statement value at that time. My mortgage was about $177,000 left. I was trying to loan $245,000.00. When I talked to the loan agent, He said; I can take out more money, but I said "No". So he sent me a Disclosure & Agreement by e-mail. So me and my wife signed the agreement paper and sent by fax next day. And next day, he said, I have to pay an appraisal fee of $400.00, so he can process the loan. So I asked him, what if the loan does not go through. He said then you will get your money back. So I gave him my card numbers.

I'm giving a copy to everyone who reads these complaints on an email that I sent to the rep who I was working with at LT when he finally gave me the big **.

Lo and behold, later when I received the loan docs, the rate was stated as not locked? During this time I was contacted by two additional Lending Tree people who would now be my contacts. I requested the rate lock documentation 3x, stated I would not go forward with the loan if the rate or points changed from the original GFE.

I had a very unsatisfactory experience with Lending Tree Loans when I tried to refinance my mortgage October 2010. They told me that I would have to pay for the appraisal $400.00 and I would get a copy. I paid but I still have not received a copy of the appraisal and they told me I couldn't get the refinance based on the appraisal. I have asked repeatedly by email and phone and Terry ** told me he would send the appraisal but he hasn't.

If you paid Lending Tree the $400 or $600 fee on your credit card, call your bank and state there's an authorized charge on your card and leave it at that. Your bank will need to know the charge date and amount. If they ask if you would like a new card to replace the old card say yes! Your credit card was charged by a verbal authorization and that is not a valid charge if you dispute it. Lending Tree will need to provide your signature to validate the charge. Your bank will ask if you had any business with Lending Tree ,do not answer that question just keep repeating the charge was not authorized and your bank will open a dispute case. You will get your money back!

I applied to refinance my home mortgage and was contacted by Haiyen Tran, loan rep for LendingTree.com. I advised Haiyen during the initial call that I was not willing to bring any out of pocket money to closing and could only proceed with the loan if that were a possibility. Haiyen assured me that could be done and told me I would need to pay $400 for a home appraisal to lock in my rate.

I was offered a loan with a set rate at 4.25% with no points and $75 a month for PMI for 5 years. All claims which ended up being false. I originally tried to refinance my existing mortgage balance with lending tree. The appraisal came in lower than expected so I was going to streamline my mortgage at my bank instead. The mortgage banker (Eric **) at Lending Tree said he could get me a lower rate than before because the rates decline (4.25%) with no points or additional fees then the original proposal I had with them. He also stated the PMI would be $75 a month and it would automatically discontinue after 5 years.

Seems like a track record at LT. Anyone know a good class action lawyer. Also file a complaint with the Charlotte NC BBB that is where there home office is http://charlotte.app.bbb.org. To make a long story short I was told several things on the phone that were not reflected in disclosures. Every time I called them on it they either said it was a computer glitch or they made a mistake. To me it was blatant dishonesty. I emailed every VP and even the CEO. One VP got back to me and said he would have some1 call me. One of the managers called me and his way to fix the problem was to take off the points I was told I wasn't being charged in the first place and raise the rate and payment of the loan.

I am stuck with Lending Tree. I can't get my $400.00 back. I started talking to them on 09/27/10. This is one of my email message I sent to Michael ** of Lending Tree:

On or about 08/9/2010, I applied by phone to Lending Tree for a re-finance of my home loan. I called Justin ** at ** and provided him with the information he requested for the loan. He stated he needed the documentation such as tax, recent 1040s, retirement amount, assets, pay stubs, etc. I sent the documentation as requested. He advised me with the information I provided by phone was pre-approved and they would process the information further upon receipt of the documentation.

I was going to use L.T. for a refinance on a rental property. The appraisal came in as expected but with notes about things this woman knew nothing about. L.T. was going to make me pay for a structural engineers report after dragging this process out for two months. I am out a 400.00 appraisal and much time and effort on my part.

We started in June 2010 and finally had to ask for our appraisal which we paid for (appraiser had two bathrooms on our appraisal and we have three full bathrooms). This refinance was "snake bit" from the start and I do not know if the processor has worked for long but she kept dropping the ball. We started out getting approved for a conventional then Brian wanted to restructure to a FHA because the rate was lower. We should have closed in August 2010 but no, so that's why I did not pay my August payment processor and Brian kept saying we may close this afternoon or first of next week and this went on and on.

I, too, recently dealt with Lending Tree and had many of the same issues. No contact whatsoever, no answers or solutions when I did get a hold of someone. They also took my appraisal fee and then came back and said I need to be at my job 6 more months before I can be approved per some new FHA guideline. Well, I contacted FHA directly and it isn't even a guideline. So they lied to me and won't approve me for 6 months, yet here I sit, out $400 for a useless appraisal. Has any of you tried contacting the BBB? They have an A+ rating. I will be contacting them. I wonder if you all did too, if that would help at all.

On our initial conversation, I was asked if I had a second mortgage and I said that I did not know. Cisco said that from what he could tell, there was no other mortgage on the loan. He charged my credit card $600 and after that point, communication was sparse. I kept asking for closing costs but no response. I kept asking for a close date; no response. I was finally told that my loan was approved. Then, as I kept seeking closing costs, Cisco said that there was indeed a second mortgage. He offered no other solution, etc.

My appraisal came back with inaccurate information also. Lending Tree took my 600 dollars for the bad appraisal, and said that they could not get mortgage insurance to cover the property. Of course, they did not call to inform me of this until the Friday before my closing date; they had loan paperwork for over 6 weeks. My Realtor sent them more comps & actual facts/figures to them but there has been no resolution. It's awful bad business. I would not recommend doing business with this company!

Last week I was contacted by a Lending Tree associate to go over my loan application. At that time, he requested that I provide him with a credit card number for a $400 appraisal fee. I immediately told him that I still had a bathroom to finish remodeling in my house, before I could pay for the appraisal. He then informed me that I could wait until the bathroom was completed before I pay for the appraisal and stated that he still needed a credit card for a fee of around $6.00 or so for processing fees or something.

I had an experience much like the ones listed above. I have been working hard to get my credit score up and finally got it up. I currently had a high interest rate mortgage and thought it was time to refinance. Everything went well with the loan and then it was time to get the appraisal. I had the house appraised 12 months ago for $250,000. Since then, I have put a new central heating and air unit in the house, had an $11,000 deck put around the pool and spent $80,000 on renovating the kitchen. The appraisal from Lending Tree came in at $210,000! I know the housing market is depressed, but come on, what a scam. I do plan on disputing the $500 fee they billed. Stay clear of Lending Tree.

I applied for a refinance via the website, thinking that I would shop around. I almost immediately received a call from a loan broker who was insistent that I pay the $400 appraisal fee in order to "lock in the interest rate." When I received papers from them, the amounts entered were fraudulent. The value of the house was inflated by over $100,000; my liquid assets were out of thin air and had never even been discussed. I emailed back that I had no idea where they got these figures, but what they did is completely wrong. I suppose that I have been rooked out of the $400, which hit my bank a day before it was supposed to. I have had to change my bank account to get away from these people. I have lost $400 for an appraisal for a loan that upfront would never happen because I will not be party to fraud. The appraisal will not happen, by the way; so that is just money lost.

My appraisal came back with inaccurate information. 2 bedrooms instead of 3. Lending Tree took my $400 dollars for the appraisal, but refuse to have the appraisal fixed. They just told me there was nothing they could do. Very bad business. I would not recommend doing business with this company! I did not get what I paid for, and there is no recourse to get the appraisal redone or any money refunded.

I got the same spamming treatment as others have reported here. Don't use them unless you enjoy sorting through loads of junk mail to find real messages.

I applied and submitted an application for refinancing after talking with Lending Tree broker Dennis **. He was very insistent that I provide them my credit card to lock in a loan rate. Against my better judgment, I went ahead and did this. Once I reviewed the loan application and terms and reviewed them with my financial adviser, I knew that I was being overcharged with excessive broker fees and other loan origination fees. I immediately sent off an email on the same day that I submitted the application that I wanted to cancel the application.

On May 27th, I went online and used LendingTree as a source of looking for a mortgage. On the morning of 5/29, two days later, I had 300 spam emails from everyone you can think of--credit cards, auto loans, cash payday loans, health insurance, free grants, new Dell computer for free, meet large women online, affordable health insurance and the best one, top video game schools online! Earn a degree! Well, today is June 3rd at 3 pm and so far, I have received a total of 700+ spam emails.

We contacted David ** at Lending Tree to discuss getting a first mortgage on a home we own in California that was just appraised for $320,000. We were asking for $160,000 to pay off all of our other debt. The home is fully paid for and in great condition. We just making some phone calls to see what kind of rates and terms we could get. David ** told me he needed $400 from us to process the paperwork. I flat out told him no way in the world we were going to give him $400 and he told me this was simply to lock in the terms and rate if we wanted to proceed with the loan. He informed me the $400 would guarantee our 5.5% APR for 30 years fixed and if we were declined for any reason other than lying on our appointment or the appraisal not meeting the value to secure the loan, we would receive a full refund.

In early April, I contacted Lending Tree to inquire about the rates for refinancing my home loan. I spoke to a woman named Lydia who gave me a good rate with no points and told me that to get things started I would need to give her a credit card and there would be a $400 charge to my card. At that time, I told her that I wanted to go over the information with my husband before agreeing to anything. She indicated that it would be good if I could call back fairly soon because she heard that rates could be going up later that afternoon. I immediately called my husband who told me to go forward with them and I called her back within about 15 or 20 minutes.

We called Chase to see what kind of rates were available if we refinance our home. Please note this was nothing more than an inquiry to see what we qualified for. They told us that the "Home Loan Center" handles those requests for them. After finally getting called back, it was actually Lending Tree. The rep seemed very nice and helpful. I provided him with our income information and he checked our credit. He then gave me the rate we qualified for, the proposed new monthly payment and all this information that sounded great. Then he said, "I have looked online and your house should appraise for $***,***. So I am going to send you a form and you will need to fill out your credit card information and send it back. It will be charged $400 and we will send an appraiser out to get the process started". At that point, I told him I would get back to him.

Rate advertised false. Rate shown as under 3.75%. I have excellent credit, FICO 770, Debt to equity on first mortgage. Lots of phone calls, some from different or the same people in the same firm.

I provided all my information. I explained what I wanted. I was promised a quote. A week later, no quote. I called back, I was promised again a quote will be forwarded. No quote. A week later, a new guy calls and asks again for info. I advised him to refer to the notes to the first guy and email me a quote. Two weeks later, no quote. Unprofessional people. I will not deal with them even if they offered a lower rate. Not worth the pain.

After contacting Lending Tree and giving them the information that they wanted, I was told that everything was a go. They told me that they needed $400 to start the process. Things were going just fine until they told me that I was not approved. They have told me that I would not get my $400 back because they had tried to get me approved and that there is nothing I can do about it.

I applied for a loan a few years ago and they never got one quote. So I tried them again a few days ago, and more of the same. They can't promise anything. Don't expect any kind of response because they can't deliver. Just a bunch of ** to get you to visit their site. Don't waste your time and effort. No loan quotes at all, just a bunch of empty promises.

I filled out an application online for a used auto loan. I have good credit. Lending Tree responded two days later, telling me that no lender has picked up or reviewed my credit or my application! They went on to say that they do not know why and I believe that by law, I need an explanation at least as to why they could not get at least one lender to even look at my application. Ridiculous! I fear that now, they are going to continue trying to sell me on other product services that I do not want or need and sell my personal information to a third party, potentially risking my credit with identity theft.

We were looking at new homes and found one that we liked .We decided we should get pre-approved for a loan before we went further. We applied for a loan for the amount of the asking price on the home we liked. We were approved for the asking price with a 30,000 dollar down payment.

Much like many of the other complaints with Lending Tree, they grossly mislead me on the closing costs ($3k vs. $7k), but that appears to be typical. What I would like to add is how they handled my appraisal. I set up an appraisal with one of their approved appraisers and he came in with a number (a little based on my comps, but that certainly isn't my complaint). After spending over 20 days in underwriting, they came back and stated they didn't agree with the appraisal and reduced it by $40K.

I caught my ear to hear that Lending Tree is supporting NPR (National Public Radio). Lot's of good, honest programs, so I wrongly drew the conclusion that this company would also be honest and upfront. Wrong!

Whether incompetence or outright shysters, Lending Tree kept moving at a snail's pace and adding on extra cost. We started with numerous inaccurate good faith estimates, broker claiming that my emails went to her junk box, but that doesn't explain her voice mail box. Then, they proceeded to obtaining the appraisal from a non-FHA approved appraiser, extra costs of subordination, more delays--then, to be surprised by having to pay an additional $2,600 for the points.

I applied for a loan. Of course, we had to pay the $400 lock in rate fee. They appraised my house with the people they sent out. House was appraised for $175,000. We wanted to refinance for $125,000. We called and everything was going great. We had the closing. We waited for three days to get our money. On the fourth day, I called our bank to see if they had paid off our loan. No such luck. We called on Kim the banker and she said, "I have some bad news. After review, house would not appraise for enough, only $140,000." I did not know after you have a closing and sign everything they can change their mind. They did not even tell us until we called to check on things. The best part is they changed our insurance over into their name to collect if something should happen to our home. They never did fix it. We had to. Do not do business with them. Scam.

I contacted Lending Tree about a home refinance. I explained my concern that the appraisal would not match my tax appraisal of $211,000. Lending Tree charged $600 to my credit card and the appraisal did not come in high enough for a loan at $170,000. The problem was, the person I spoke to at Lending Tree told me he had closed 32 loans in Georgia and not one of them had appraised lower than the county tax appraisal. Funny, I am the only one in the State he had closed where the appraisal did not match!

To say that I am unhappy with LendingTree is an understatement. I have never experienced a complete breakdown in a team's ability to do the most basic aspect their job. The first error occurred when our lending consultant Pedro misquoted us an appraisal for the property as $228,000 when it should have been for $250,000. Paperwork was generated, which was signed by ourselves and the sellers. Thankfully our realtor Nicole caught this mistake and new paperwork was generated to reflect the current value. We got an email from Debbi, our loan processor, asking for the documents to be resigned by ourselves and the seller, which we did. After receiving the documents, Debbi asked that the FHA addendum be post dated, but she never clarified the specific date we needed to reference. This caused us to do a new amendment and a third signing between ourselves and the sellers.

We decided to refinance an investment property, had a locked rate with Lending Tree and received GFE from one Stephen **. We went through all the hoops of providing full documentation (which Mr. ** lost the first time - pretty scary stuff) and paid the $600. Long story short - the closing was late and then when I did receive the paperwork just 2 days prior to closing, everything was changed - the rate, the fees, charges, everything. I contacted Stephen's supervisor, Alan **, twice and asked for his intervention but never heard from the guy. At the last minute, they said that their "investor" had changed their criteria but they could probably still do the refinance; however, it was a 43% increase in fees! That's right 43%. Needless to say, I bailed at that point, said that this was usury and they promised to refund my $600. I had Stephen ** put it in writing via an email. After reading these stories of others losing their $600, I am going to file a dispute today with my Visa card company. After all the hassle they put me through, there is no way they will keep my money. I also sent a message to their Customer Relations department but it's probably in the "round file" already.

I locked a rate on Sept. 30, 2009. On Friday, Oct. 23, 2009, I was called to schedule signing on the close for funding payout prior to Oct. 30 expiration. We arranged Monday, Oct. 26th. Abruptly, they called and said they needed to have the appraisal adjusted. We scheduled again (once this came through) for Oct. 29, 2009 to sign. Suddenly, the morning of Oct. 29, I received email of new documents with an increased fixed rate and another substantial increase in fees (all this without my knowledge/awareness or approval). It went from 4.5 fixed with APR, $7,000 in fees to 4.625 with approximately $10,000 in fees! Is this typical and legal? Please help.

I applied for a loan with Lending Tree. About two days later, I got an email from them telling me that they were unable to match me with a lender. So, I called them to ask why they were unable to match me a lender. They were unable to tell me why. At this time, I asked the rep to provide me with letters from all of the lenders that work with them and why they were unable to help me with a loan. The Lending Tree supervisor refused to do this. The law states that if a person is turned down for any reason by a financial company, they must by law tell you why. Lending Tree refused to provide this info.

I have promised to pay on several occasions and have been unresponsive to requests for a firm date for payment.

I applied for a mortgage from Lending Tree and asked them to send me a Good Faith Estimate (GFE). The estimate that I received from Joe ** looked very good at first glance, but was actually much worse compared to all other estimates I obtained. I believe that Joe intentionally misrepresented several facts which became obvious when I confronted him during our phone conversation. For example, as part of closing costs, he did not include any taxes (city, county, or state) and said that those charges are not paid to Lending Tree. That is true, but all other lenders did include those charges (at least estimates) so that we borrowers have a clear picture as to what to expect at closing.

We were looking to refinance the house at low rates and to reconcile some of our loans. Lending Tree was approached and they set us up with Brendan at Sure Point. We made it very clear that we wanted our Chase loan paid off and the car loans. We were never denied anything. Everything was always fine and in order and taken care of. The closing came and went. Besides extraordinary large closing costs, the car loans were never taken care of. Not only that, but all of a sudden my home insurance is not included in my mortgage (another unexpected expense besides still having the car payments). We were never told about either prior to the closing. We have approached Lending Tree about this. They have not been helpful at all.

I feel I was scammed by Lending Tree. I received an advertising letter from Lending Tree stating I could refinance my home for a 30-year fixed interest rate of 4.35%. I gave Lending Tree a call and talked to someone who stated that his name was Rhey. Rhey stated that the interest rates were climbing, and that he may still be able to get the 4.35% if I qualified but we would need to act fast. I gave Rhey and my wife's and my social security numbers and work history. He asked me what my house was worth, and I said I hadn't a clue. I told him that my neighbor sold his house about a year ago for $540,000, but I was sure that the value had dropped tremendously within the last year. He said no problem, that as part of the loan process, he would send an appraiser out within the next few days to give an accurate appraisal. I told him I would get back to him.

On May 6, 2009, I began the process with Home Loan Center, Inc. dba Lending Tree over the phone for a refinance loan. My credit card was charged for the amount of $600.00 as a deposit towards the appraisal fee, to which I was advised by my mortgage broker that any amount over the actual appraisal cost would be refunded to my credit card whether my loan went through or not. Well, my appraisal came in lower than what is actually owed at this time, so the loan didn't go through as planned. I've left numerous messages with the broker that handled my loan process and have received no calls back. I'm very upset and I feel that they've scammed me out of our hard earned money. I really thought that they were a reputable company. But now I know how downright deceiving some companies are and I'll not recommend Lending Tree to anyone. I'm still leaving messages with the broker and I will continue to do so until I get some answers.

They called me and stated that my loan was approved for $5,000, that all I needed was $299 for the first and last payment, and when they received that, they would send me the money to my bank. So, I sent the money by Western Union. I called them and they said they would send me the money. I waited another day. They called and told me they had to stop the check because I was high risk loan and they needed $150 to put that money on savings. So, I sent the money. Next, they called me and they wanted $400 for taxes that I owe to IRS. They told me to send them the money and they would send it to IRS and they would send me the loan to the bank. Until this day, I have not heard from them again. I tried calling them and they won't answer. It has been three weeks as of this date, 9-7-09.

I paid LendingTree $600.00 to lock in my interest rate. When the appraisal on my house came in, it was way under the value of my house. I called my lender several times after LendingTree sent me a letter stating that they had turned down my loan. I called them again, and LendingTree stated that the person who had handled my loan had left company. I was transferred to several different people; no one would take my call. I finally was told today that I would not get my $600.00 back. LendingTree has the worst customer service that I have ever seen. I will never do business with this company and will tell everyone not to trust them. I feel that I was scammed and lied to by LendingTree.
