They compound interest everyday which they do not disclose. If I could give them a negative review I would. I even did a balance transfer on a no interest for 12 months on a credit card and they continued to take money from my account. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE.

    If I could give a negative score this company would get -100. They string you along and ask you to add multiple cosigners and then after hitting your credit file they will deny you. So sad and crooked. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS POS COMPANY.

    This Company uses Credit Karma to try and get your business. When you apply through them online application says WILL NOT hurt credit score. The VERY next day I get hard inquiry on Credit report from these people which has a NEGATIVE impact on your credit score for 2 years.

    Original review: March 27, 2023

    I applied for an extension of my loan with OneMain Financial. After submitting my paperwork I was told the loan was approved. The young man then said he would check to see if he could get me more money. He told he would check and that he would call me back in an hour. He calls me back an hour later and said it wasn't approved and I thought he was talking about the additional funds. He stated that nothing was approved at all. As you can imagine I felt betrayed because he made it seem like I had funds coming but that was not the case. I am very disappointed in this company.

    Big waste of time.. Worst so called loan people to deal with in Norfolk Nebraska.. Send them all my information and get pre-approved only to be told no because of income, but of course they had all that info before wasting more of your time and approval. Big con game to get all your personal information.

    Original review: March 9, 2023

    OneMain Financial has two credit cards one is a Broadway+ MasterCard the other is just a standard Brightway MasterCard. The Plus card is for people with more established credit. Every financial institution has their own policies and procedures however, I made a payment on this account on February 28 and I was advised that there would be a payment hold placed on that payment until March 10. The ACH payment process through my bank on March 1.

    In my opinion, this is way too long for payment holds. I am asked someone in a higher escalation level to contact me however, this company uses a third-party company to service. Their cards called CardWorks. So when you call in and you speak to a customer service representative, you’re actually speaking with an employee of CardWorks and not employed with OneMain Financial. I’m glad I didn’t need or have use for the availability of the credit.

    Original review: Jan. 21, 2023

    I took a loan with OMF in 2018 for $6k and provided my vehicle title as collateral and to this date have paid on time every time. Recently I found myself in need of a bit more cash to take care of some home repairs and was told no sweat, I qualified for a higher amount, so I submit all the required docs and wait. The next day I get a call saying they won't approve me because my debt-to-income ratio is not quite where they need it to be. OK, I said, my current payment is X which is considerably higher than the new payment Y would be which would then put me into your "comfort zone" and they still refused and offered nothing but excuses and hollow platitudes, even worse I have a hard inquiry on my credit report. Once this loan is paid I will *never* do business with them again, because quite frankly the excuses they gave is a load of you know what, and if this review convinces even one person to avoid them I'll consider that a win.

    These people are a joke. I guess they only let you get a loan 1 time approved and deny you other times. Either way I’m okay with knowing I will never do business with this company again. Waste of time and no communication. I know I have good credit without a doubt. I do own a 2023 genesis so stating I was denied especially after I paid the 1st loan off in 4 months. Now I’m guessing they didn’t want that because it seems like the last 2 times I have applied I was denied even after I was told I was qualified. I do not recommend this company to nobody ever.

    I took out a loan to help cover cost and I have been on time for the last 2 years paying off this loans. Monthly payment is S415. Of which $5.00 goes to principal and the rest interest. These people are ripoffs.

    Just wanted to inform the worst experience I had with OMF.. I applied towards end of August.. No status update just email to submit docs.. Once submitted I wasn’t able to find out status of application.. I've called every time to find out what’s going on.. Supposedly I was approved.. It is the 12 of September and last week I submitted more pics of cars all needed again.. Since I applied I have never received a call nor email to notify me me of status or declining my application.. Come on all. At least 12 days telling me I was approved and today I call, they saying I was declined.. What kind of communication do you have?? I’m very dissatisfied and disappointed.. Definitely bad review from me..
