    Changed autopay contract to manual pay which doubled the monthly payment without my authorization but didn't tell me. Since the first loan and through the second one I had always been on autopay. I need that because I lose control of my business matters if I try to rely on my memory to make monthly payments on time. They even told me that autopay was going to be a requirement anyway. I've been paying out to them for approx 1.5 years. I have lost count of how many times I had to fix things because of identity theft but there were a couple or more times that it was because of their typos or something concerning my routing number.

    The last time I spoke with the office where I got the loan in Cocoa FL was about them not being able to get the monthly payment out of my checking account. I immediately suggested that I go ahead and pay the missed payment (not my fault) but also the next payment which was not due for a few days. I also gave them my new address and phone # and thought we were good. 3 months later they ruined my credit and sent a tow truck to take my truck which I used for collateral.

    I thought I had fixed the problem but they said I was supposed to have been making manual payments. I had signed a contract to have autopay because I have such a bad memory (I fell in a construction accident and hit head first). Nobody told me I was supposed to make manual payments unless they said it in a way I didn't fully understand. I even asked if we good before she hung up and she said yes. All I thought was that I was making auto payments the same as always. As far as I can tell this happened all because of their typo on the routing # for my checking account. I have always been patient with them because they had been patient with me. I have always been there to make things right regardless of the cause and then they treat me like this now.

    I contacted Springleaf because I received information that they help people with less than perfect credit. So when I called the rep went over the information and I explained that I don't have good credit and no collateral. I was reassured that I would not have any problems and the process was fairly easy and that they would be able to help me. So I thought about it and said "let me try. They sound like a good company". Well I applied and was denied and I asked the rep a zillion questions, but it was just a waste of time and no one can help.

    I first applied for a loan and was pre-approved, a representative contacted me immediately. They rush you into sending all required documents, once sent I was told I did not qualify because of my expense to income ratio. I then asked my representative if I can get a loan for a lesser, she told me she would run this through her supervisor and will let me know. Never heard back from her or anyone in the company again, emailed her several times and called as well... no one ever got back to me. This is highly unprofessional. Desperate, I attempted again a month after and got denied once more. I was not asking for a huge loan amount and I've seen worse credit scores. Would not recommend them to anyone.

    Springleaf Financial approved me for more than I applied for and needed at the time, but the additional money helped out. They were great to deal with, even though my co-signer and I have both had some credit challenges in the past. I'm hoping that by consolidating a few of my bills that I won't need to use them again, but if I ever need another loan after this one is paid off, I won't hesitate to call them again. I'd definitely recommend them to others. The office staff here in Phoenix was very pleasant to work with. The rate was so much better than a title loan. Between lowering the rate on my vehicle and paying off other debts, I'm saving over $220/month.

    I was solicited by mail. I went in and met with the rep. She was really nice. She went over the loan and assured me that there were no ridiculous fees and the interest rate was all I would be charged. I was told this by the rep. The truth is, Springleaf charges me 103 dollars a month for this loan in what they call "interest and charges". My payments are 150 a month, 50 dollars goes to the principal. I don't understand how this is legal. These people are sociopaths. Please do not do what I did, do not borrow money from this loan shark.

    I too called the 1-800 #. I was told I meet the requirements and would be contacted by my local branch here in Alabama. Well, first they did not contact me I had to contact them. Their reason for not contacting me was they were short handed. Well the lady took more information from me and told me she would get back with me in the morning. It was 12:00 noon and I still had not heard from them. So, I called only to be told my loan was denied because of my credit history, which I'll admit is bad. Isn't that what they advertise even bad credit is OK. After speaking to them they may as well had told me I needed perfect credit. I was told that I was denied because I filed bankruptcy in 2011 (that has been discharged), I had some late payments, collection items and charge-offs since my bankruptcy and that I cannot have these problems. DUH, that's where the bad credit comes from. What they didn't know is why my credit is in the state it's in.

    I had Identity theft in 2013 and 2014, and have the proof to show it. My husband has been off work on medical leave for four months with no income coming in and I also had a big debt ($84,000.00) discharged two weeks ago that will be removed from my credit report. Have proof of that as well. They didn't speak to me about my situation before making a decision, everything was based on my credit report. I do not think this is fair at all. I called to speak with the manager. He was out to lunch and ask that he return my call. I guess he's still out lunch, because I am still waiting on his call. The customer service here is terrible.

    I applied online and was approved for 5000 dollars with collateral. I didn't have collateral but I was willing to pay the high interest rate. I waited two weeks before I called them back, only for them to tell me I was denied the funds. Now I told them I was willing to take a lower number than what I applied for but they said they could do nothing for me.

Never heard back from them so I called and was told that I was denied. I should not have been told that I was approved.

    I applied for a personal loan around the tenth of July, to Springleaf among other places. I received my loan acceptance email on the 10th and could not make it there right away, and I also wanted to weigh my options. It should also be noted in the email that it asked me to bring a title to my car, which was not mentioned at any point during the application.

    So fast forward to August, my wife and I, forgetting we had already applied for Springleaf applied again, and got a rejection due to duplicate application. Realizing this and remembering it was one of the places we had been accepted too, I call the local office and they have no record of my application. I reapply again (apparently duplicate application no longer an issue) and I got denied due to credit history, despite just being told not even a month earlier it was accepted.

    Since first applying last year, my credit score has jumped by over 40 points as I've been trying to rebuild my credit and obtained 2 unsecured credit card. Credit Karma suggested I had a "Very Good" chance of getting approved for this loan. I called the 800# and the lady I spoke with was very nice and took my application over the phone. She said that I passed the initial qualifications and that the local office would contact me. The gentleman I spoke with from the local branch was rude and obnoxious. He told me he couldn't approve me but wouldn't give me a reason why? I mean isn't this bank supposed to help people that are achieving to approve their credit score which is why their interest rate would be as high as it is? Anyone with perfect credit would just got to their bank that would give them a better interest rate and get a personal loan. So disappointed.

    Let me start by saying, I read many reviews and took a few days to consider whether or not I was going to attempt to apply for a personal unsecured loan. You have to be so careful these days trying to figure out which companies are legit and which ones are not, especially online. Many of the reviews I read said mostly great things about this company. I had an unexpected financial expense that came about and thought, okay, let me try, because I really needed the financial assistance. I applied online for a loan in the amount of $4,500. Next thing I know, I received confirmation that I was approved! It took almost a day or so before I actually spoke to someone at which time I find out that I was approved for a secured loan of $4,500 and not an unsecured loan.

    Apparently the only way the loan would go through is if I had collateral (car title) or a co-signer, which I had neither. So of course I was then denied. I would have even been okay with a smaller amount. Even $2,500 (Unsecured). Every bit helps. Needless to say, I went from being very pleased to very disappointed. I wish I had know during the initial application process that I needed collateral, which would have saved me the time from applying for the loan in the first place.

    I applied for a personal loan online with Springleaf Financial on 7/27/15. After completion, the document online stated, "Thank you for applying for a Springleaf Loan. Get your money as soon as today." I stopped by the branch since it was near my job. They informed me the system was down. On 7/28, I stopped by the location again and the system was down again. They were very apologetic about the situation and said they will take care of me once the system is back up. This was very frustrating. On 7/29, I called instead of making a pointless trip to the branch again. This time the guy stated, "You are denied."

    According to the document, after the completion of my online application, I had to schedule an appointment, bring an government issued I.D., last two paystubs, and most recent bank statement. I was prescreened for approval. Why not tell me this information upfront to prevent me from wasting my time? I gathered all of this information needed to complete the loan and was denied before sitting with an agent at the branch. On top of that, I had to wait 3 days.

In the same day, I received a call from the Megan ** who is the branch manager at the Springleaf Office location in Tallahassee, Florida. She explained the problem and was very apologetic. I was very pleased and impressed with the fast response and diligence the company showed.

    Not only did they approved my loan request, they also gave me a Walmart gift card for the inconvenience. Now that's awesome customer service! My office experience was very inviting and the staff was outstanding! I will definitely do more business in the future and will highly recommend this company to friends, family, and co-workers. With this being said, I would rate this company 5+ stars! And I want to thank Megan ** and her staff for their outstanding service! Thank you!

    Original Review: July 29, 2015

    I submitted my application online on 07/22/2015. I received a email stating that I need to contact the local office to set an appointment to discuss my loan options. I called the Tallahassee, Florida office and a gentlemen answered the phone, stating that they were extremely busy and that they will touch base with me soon. On 07/25/2015, approximately 1:02 pm three days later, I received a phone call from the local office asking me a few questions about a couple things on my credit report. I then asked her what was my status on my recent application and she said that everything looks pretty good and that the underwriter would need to review it and make a final decision.

    It is now 07/28/2015 and I haven't heard anything back from them. I don't understand and quite frankly disappointed. My credit score is a little above 600 and I pay my bills on time. I even got approved with "The Lending Club" earlier this year and they have stricter guidelines than Springleaf. Now my credit score dropped down due to this hard inquiry with Springleaf and no one called to say I was approved or declined for my $1100 loan request. With this being said, after seeing previous post about Springleaf customer service, I would have not applied and risking damage to my credit score that I'm trying extreme hard to maintain and repair. I recommend upper management look into customer complaints and how things are conducted at their Springleaf offices.

    I applied online and was approved through a personal loan. Contacted the loan specialist and she got my information and said it needs to go through the underwriter. A day went by and I called her back and it went straight to voicemail. Called the company multiple times and never got anyone to pick up, even waited 56 minutes at one call. Finally today I called the company and they picked up to tell me that my application got disapproved since I have my BK on my record...I was approved with the BK in the first place! My income doesn't even matter in this case.

    On the internet I applied for a loan and I didn't finish my loan. The next day Springleaf call me, so they want to give me the loan that I have been approved. I told him I thought it was a hoax, they said "come on" and it took my information. I got there, it was a little bit of a misunderstanding but it was corrected right away. He said he can still get me my loan I wanted. They got me my loan, took maybe half hour to get the loan done & I was out the door with my money and very happy. Love Springleaf Financial.

    Wasted gas, time and effort printing out documents and driving down to the local branch to be told I couldn't be approved even though I was already "conditionally approved" with a co-applicant because my credit score was too low. My credit score is 570 plus I had a co-applicant with tons of credit history (not to mention the lady that helped me didn't even seem to notice I had a co-applicant).

    Well I applied online for a small loan for an emergency that happened to me. Talk to the nice lady in the orange county office, they were questioning my old card that was defaulted in 2009, which I'll admit I let that one go because I was overseas in the military. I was hoping to get a loan here because they seem reasonable. My credit has been growing from a horrible to fair (because that defaulted one). And she had to talk to the underwriter, the lady did seem to try to help me out, but alas I couldn't get at a score 640.

    I get an offer through email or USPS mail.

They state that shouldn't be a problem but then turn around and tell me that I was denied because of the car loans. But ironically, I can go to a different loan company and acknowledged that situation with the cars on my credit.

    I was attempting to reorganize some unsecured debt by paying off revolving credit card debt and putting it where an end date for paying off the debt could be realized. My primary goal was to take a first step toward reducing the net to debt ratio on the revolving credit - and then over time improve my credit rating. I additionally was hoping to get some extra money to pay for some much-needed home improvements.

    The Springleaf Financial offer was at a rate of interest comparable to that of the credit cards and seemed to be an attractive option. The online application was sent to a local branch office where I was able to sit down with a representative and discuss my loan request. I ended up getting a slightly larger amount than what the online application approved and the process was fast and simple. I had the loan check the same day that I met with the local branch rep. I was skeptical when first logging onto the website. But after my experience, I would recommend this business to anyone.

    My credit score is in the low 600's and the loan was advertised for good or bad credit, so I decided to apply. My credit is not necessarily bad. It is just that I don't have much showing on my reports. I was only asking for a $1000 loan and was denied due to lack of a cosigner. If I had a qualified cosigner, I would likely borrow the money from them instead of requesting a loan. Very disappointed as I have read many good things about Springleaf and truly believed they could help someone who needs a small loan and is trying to establish credit.

At that point she became borderline rude when I questioned why. I have the income to pay back the loan, have been at my job more than 2 years, and if need be could get a cosigner or use one or more of my vehicles as collateral. She said none would help as my credit score is all that mattered. When I told her about the email I received, I was told everyone gets one like that, it doesn't mean anything. What a waste of time.

    I applied for a debt consolidation loan online with Springleaf on June 17, 2015 and received an email from them stating that they couldn't do anything as there was a duplicate application within the last 30 days. Then this morning, I received an email from the local branch manager, **, that stated: "We appreciate your interest in Springleaf. Our friendly, professional staff is ready to serve your financial needs in any way we can. Please contact our local office at 1-480-899-2350 at your earliest convenience. We'll be happy to discuss any questions you may have and review our loan programs. We're proud of our personalized services and hope you give us the opportunity to show you what we can do for you. We're here to help you! **, Branch Manager"

    So I called them, was put on hold for about 15 seconds, was transferred to **'s office, he looked up the loan application, stated he couldn't find any duplicate applications, and then transferred my call to ** to complete the application. Call was picked up by some guy who stated ** was currently working with another person so he would handle the application. He started out pleasantly enough, confirmed address, place of work, then asked about take home pay. This is where Springleaf's "we can help you" disappeared super fast. When I gave him my current take home pay, he immediately said "Can't help you, it's too low." I stated that part of the debt consolidation would be to pay off the VA which was taking $150 per pay period out of my check. When they were paid off, that would automatically increase my take home pay.

    His tone after this turned very disinterested and he then said that didn't matter because I have student loans which I pointed out were in deferment since I'm in grad school. He said that still didn't matter because I have several write offs/collections on my account, and when I begin to explain that the majority of the remainder (after paying of the VA) was to pay off the collections account, he kept interrupting saying it doesn't matter, debt-to-income ratio, you have student loans, etc. I asked about a lower amount just to pay off the collections account and a couple high interest short term loans, and no sooner were the words "lower amount" out of my mouth, this guy continued with his spiel about student loans, debt-to-income, etc.

    I end up telling him that they obviously don't intend to follow through with their email stating that they are "ready to serve your financial needs in any way we can," and to remove me out of their system, and I'll just keep paying off my high interest short loans and letting the VA take money automatically from my paycheck. It is obvious Springleaf hires people who don't listen, have little to no comprehension skills, have a policy that must be to not help anyone out unless they have no credit whatsoever -- or perfect credit where you don't need them anyways, and they are not interested in your financial situation or an explanation on how after you consolidate your debts you can easily afford to pay them.

    So be aware when dealing with this company. If you have less than stellar credit, student loans in deferment, and a wage garnishment that you are trying to get rid off through a consolidation loan, they will just tell you in a very disinterested voice that they can't do anything for you. However, if you really don't need any financial assistance, they will obviously be all about helping you (just like any bank or credit union will do).

    I applied for a 5,000 dollar loan, was asked a bunch of questions, then had to send them a lot of documents verifying income, identity etc. Well, they were not prompt in getting back to me after contacting them by email and phone. I thought these places were supposed to work with people that are having financial difficulty. I was denied so ended up getting a loan through my credit union which I should have done to begin with. Don't try and get a loan through Springleaf. I feel like I wasted my time. They now have all this personal information about me which I don't like. What they don't tell you (in the fine print) is that not everyone qualifies.

    On June 17, 2015 I applied for a loan in the amount of 5000.00 to consolidate credit cards. After a very short application process I was told that it would take a couple hours to get an answer. Let me state that my credit is poor but as far as my payment history I have a rating of 100% payback. I got a call from Springleaf that my loan request had been denied and that was it no explanation, nothing less was said. After a few minutes I called back and asked why or if I would be receiving a notice of the reason my loan was not funded. I spoke to a young man and was told that it was because of my monthly budget demands and student loans. I ask how you can judge the funding of a loan because of student loans because they are in deferment until December of 2016. I am still attending school, and as far are the budget the consolidation of bills is to get your budget into an amount that is controllable.

    I am sorry but their reasoning made no sense to me. I am being denied funding on an event that will take place in 18 months. The young man took more information and said that he would resubmit my application and would call me back. I never got a call but what I did receive was a e-mail that stated that I was trying to access my student loan information through the wrong website. The last time I had access my information was two months ago, so I can accuse that the only source of this inquiry was Springleaf. All they had to do was to ask and I would have printed off the information and given it to them.

    Just because my credit far from perfect I am still a honorable person and I do not try to hide or give misinformation. The only reason I applied for a loan was for consolidation because I know I am in need to get my budget in control and eliminate a very high interest loan and credit card debt. This was a recommendation through CreditKarma.

No sooner did I click off my computer, my telephone was ringing. Her name was **. She was nice, started asking me why I needed the $7000 - I told her. She started asking me if I owned a home, where I worked, what my monthly salary was. After answering all these questions, she told me I would never be approved unless I had a co-signer because my debt to income was too high based on my monthly salary. I then said to her “well it said I was approved for $4000.” She said “that's just based on your credit”, but when factoring in my other bills I would not qualify.

    I still have the e-mail saying I was approved for the $4000. What gives - why doesn't the e-mail say “we may not be able to approve you for this loan without other information.” After I hung up with **, I immediately called her back & left a message saying even though I own a home the mortgage is just in my husband's name not mine so that shouldn't have any bearing where my salary is concerned. Of course she didn't call me back. I feel like you think you are approved only to be told you are not. Not happy. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as well.

    My overall experience with Springleaf was relatively good for the last year and a half but began to deteriorate this year around April. I got a phone call from the Mesquite office and was told that a payment that I made online had returned. I never got any report from my bank that anything had returned and it is almost impossible for a check to return as I have overdraft protection from lines of credit and savings account, Springleaf then charged me a late fee and a return check fee. I was told that the fees were refunded, after complaining to the office staff and talking to the District Manager.

    Last week, I paid off the account and got a call several days later stating that the payment had returned. I was likewise charged a return check fee. After another fight of several days between me, the branch office staff, the and the general manager and the corporate office, I was told that the return check fee was reversed. That last fight took everything out of me and although the fee was reversed, Springleaf was successful in charging me additional interest fees for several more days until I took certified funds to pay them off on 06/12/2015. The good part about this was this saved me about 1000 in interest. I felt that these fights were a ploy to charge additional interest fees instead of having care and compassion for the customer. I may do business with Springleaf again but it will be with another branch office.

    Here are a couple of more issues that I have. Why does my statement have two account numbers. At the top of my statement there is an account number of **, yet at the bottom of the statement there is an account number of **. With two account numbers, how would the bank know which account to place the payment to.

    An additional issue is the fact that when you look up my payment history, it shows no reference of any payment returning. How could Spring leaf prove their complaint of two returned payments if my history shows no such thing. Again you never showed me proof that a payment returned and one employee told me that the last payment problem was an issue on Springleaf's website. I never got an apology. Is this the way to take care of your customers?

    I have been with Springleaf for a while and I'm always at least a month ahead on my loan. Recently almost every month I have received a call from the Shreveport, LA location asking me if I wanted to renew my loan or get additional money. I told them that I couldn't since I was closing on a home and couldn't afford any hard inquiries. Towards the end of my closing I went to the Shreveport location to see what they had to offer. They told me that they could renew my loan up to $2,000 for $140 a month and I wouldn't have to make the first payment until July. I told them that sounded good so they ran a hard inquiry and told me that the only way they could help is if I refinanced my car note with them instead of my current creditor. I gave them the payoff amount and vin number.

    I never heard anything back from them to say if they could do the refinancing of my car loan or renew my current loan up to $2,000 or up to the amount I've already paid. Then I had to explain to my home finance company why I had a recent hard inquiry. I just feel that if a company keeps calling on a regular basis trying to offer you money then they need to either offer money or stop calling. Just my opinion. I'm working on finding a way to pay off my balance with Springleaf since I have no desire to be one of their customers.

    Springleaf has sent me more than one offer in the past, and I have always tossed them, thinking that they were a company looking to prey upon consumers with less than perfect credit. After receiving the most recent offer, and doing some research, I decided that it sounded like a good idea. The interest seemed high, however I expected it to be so. My ex-husband opened up numerous accounts before our divorce was final and without my knowledge, seeking to destroy my credit. I have judgments against him for all of the amounts owed, however he can pay if and when he feels like it - leaving my only recourse to spend more money going back to court, and most likely having the same end result.

    So, receiving an offer in the mail, with something manageable was appealing to me. After much debate and research, I applied today, and received an immediate denial from them. I am frustrated and angry and don't understand why this company would send out offers that they have no intention of fulfilling. Now, I have yet another thing to further lower my score.

    This business really cares about you as a customer. I wanted to purchase a RV out of town. They worked with me and the seller to make sure we could get into it right away so the seller did not have to wait or sell to anyone else. I worked with 2 branches and it was fluid. They care to help you get what you want and work with you. They did not have to work so hard or stay in contact so often. I was in contact with them from start to end. ** even called to make sure we made it home ok as the RV was 120 miles away.

Shortly afterward the manager of the local office contacted me and provided detailed information for the application process. She made an appointment with me that same afternoon and processed our application. The loan was approved and a check generated right away. This loan generated the funds necessary to consolidate our credit card debt.

    I applied for a personal loan online. I have poor credit. I received an email that I was approved for what I requested. I called this morning and talked to **. She told me to send information about my wages and my wife's wages. Then they called and said that they would needed a copy of my vehicle information. All the while with a friendly helpful attitude. As I started to gather the vehicle information, I received a call from **. He was extremely rude and began berating me about the whys of hows of my bad credit.

    Look, if I didn't have poor credit, I would not have been dealing with them in the first place. I would have gone to a lender that had a way lower interest rate. What I don't get is why they would ask for all the info and then go back to the initial credit. I would have preferred being denied from the start, so I would not have to deal with that B.S., but hey, I get a FREE credit report. Awesome!

    I owe Springleaf 1,300.00, right? And I had the need of 500, amount they approved to lend me. When I went to pick up the money, I asked how much my debt was going to be. The amount went up over 3,500.00. Mad about the situation I ask, "Why, why that much?" He replied was, "The Government applied those rules." I know many of this places broke city ordinances in the way they lend money to people in great need. I know the City or Government have to check on this kind of business and how they operate. I think they already took too much money from one loan of 2,000 that I am paying almost 4,000.00 for that loan. I think it's time to wake up an Investigation.

    I lost my job and I called them as soon as it happened. I also told them that I had applied at another plant and would notify them as soon as I was hired. I had to go through three interviews. When I spoke with them at first they said they would work with me on this matter and so they have called every week to keep in touch to see when I was going to start work again. I told them I had gone through the final interview and I was waiting. I then was told and this isn't the first time they have said this to me. That if I didn't pay something my bike would come take my bike they are financing.

    I have always paid them every month. I'm very upset and I may only be 1 month behind because I can't start work until June. I am afraid to even call them because I know what they will say. I'm to the point to where I may have another finance company take over the loan I have with them. Because getting phone calls every week when I know the procedure of a repossession is quite annoying and getting on my last nerve. I'm responsible and take care of things. Losing my job was not expected. Things happen and to get harassed is not something I enjoy at all. They were very nice when I first got my bike and when I needed extra money.

    After a few months of husband retiring, selling our home, moving from east to west coast, I overlooked a payment. But as I always pay payments ahead of the due date. My August payment (I overlooked) was paid by the September payment, which came in on the 5th of the month, DUE DATE the 8th. So Springleaf applied that to the August (2014) payment. GREAT! Then when the mail caught up with me before the end of SEPTEMBER (2014). I discovered what I did, spoke with them and made the payment for the amount they requested - $862 and some cents. Which they received and credited on September 30, 2014. BUT THE PROBLEM... according to them all the monies were not FUNDED CORRECTLY. A portion to the September 2014 bill, a portion to the interest causing the payment to be late (but not 30 days late), and the final amount being the OCTOBER 2014 PAYMENT. Great. So I thought.

    My husband's job requires us to travel, as he is on location a lot. I schedule the payments to be paid appropriately before the due date. And HECK... I had it caught up in October and we were good. So I thought. Finally in May 2015, we are off location with my husband's job and I pick up the mail. Springleaf bill $821 and some cents. A month in the rears. So I call, the man I speak to says... "You missed your August payment." I look at my bank account and pull up all the payments for Springleaf from January 2014. I look and yes, the August bill was missed. OMG! I think, WHAT DID I DO. My first thought, was to quickly get this balance (past due paid). While I am on hold (while the agent is checking) I look at the payments for Springleaf and see Sept 5, 2014 payment made $425.00; Sept 30, 2014 payment made of *$862. and some cents.

    So the man comes back on the line and I said, "Okay wait a second." I see what happened and I explain the payments. $425.00 made on Sept 5, before the 8th payment date which did not cause my account to be 30 days late. On September 30, the amount you requested plus interest was made for September and this included the October 8, 2014 payment. The man says, "Well that amount was credited to the principal on the account." I asked, "Why would you do that, when this was the amount you asked me to pay?" Now is where it gets interesting. The man says, not verbatim, "Well we don't know where you wanted us to apply the money so it was credited to the principal and you owe for August of last year 2014 plus interest." SERIOUSLY, AM I STUPID.

    I said "well that makes no sense" and he went on being rude and condescending to me, so I asked to speak to a supervisor. After me on hold for about 6 minutes he came back and was still rude, I told him I did not want to speak with him, but to a supervisor. He said, "I have to tell you the supervisor is not available and you will get a call back within 48 business hours." No! FOR THIS SITUATION THAT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE. So I called back in and spoke to a young lady. Who understood my dilemma but stated her hands were tied and no matter what I still owed the outstanding interest of some $27.00. NO! FOR THIS SITUATION THAT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE. I stated I wanted this handled before I left town again. She stated that in order to better serve me, that I could set up FOR SPRINGLEAF TO TAKE THE MONEY DIRECTLY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT.

    NO! NO! NO! That certainly was not going to happen, when they couldn't apply the funds appropriately. BUT AT THIS POINT, she informed me that the MAN I spoke with, was working with the Supervisor to resolve my issues. REALLY??? Why was that happening when I was told the supervisor was not available. So I asked to have that person call me. That still has not happened. I called back in today. They still want to collect $27 in late interest, which they are not owed, which is causing my payment to be late. Tomorrow the 7th of the month they will get my May 2015 payment and it will go in the arrears by $27 and it will accumulate ADDITIONAL INTEREST.

    THIS COMPANY TOOK OVER MY LOAN FROM HFC, which OMG forgot to clear the loan when they sold the house, because of my mother's illness, which I was on their loan on the first and on the second. So I am paying on A MORTGAGE LOAN which was a 2ND that did not go with the house, when sold and when they talk about the loan they still say this is for the property at....... address, really. That house has been sold twice now and I would have bought before they sold it. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS, THIEVES and clearly no one knows what they are doing. No supervisor calls. No one can FIX THE PROBLEM. No one even truly knows what they are doing.

    HFC WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GIVEN ME AN ACCOUNTING OF THIS LOAN (they did not). Every month I pay more than the payment (that amount is never credited to principal). Even though I have asked them for an accounting never received, I have asked repeatedly for an accounting of my additional funds and the interest adjustment accordingly. I have told them all extra funds are suppose to go to the principal. Clearly they did that in September 2014, without paying attention to what their people asked for with those funds, which were received on September 30, 2014. IDIOTS THE WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM. Someone, anyone can give me a call and I can show them what has been done... But they need to resolve this and they just don't!

I should be able to pay off what I see fit with the money because either way I'm still paying them. I had one delinquency from 3 years prior so I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I just don't understand why they would force me to pay certain bills rather than the ones that are nuisances.

    My account was bought out from Household Finance Company. After looking at our account and figuring we borrowed about 7k and still had 5k on the loan from 6 or 7 years ago we decided to move it to a low interest credit card. After paying the account off the company still direct debited my account after it was paid off. I was told to fax in the direct debit from my account and they would expedite the refund. I called back a few days later after receiving a $35 check where theh over drafted my bill pay account. I was told the draft would be returned in the next few days, that it takes 10 days to processes.

    On the 9th I call back and was told it should process back that night. Nope it didn't. I'm 18 days in and waiting for a refund. You sure can believe that if I was 18 days late I would be receiving a ton of collection calls. Probably even to my place of employment. I've made complaints with attorney general and BBB as of today. So if you want to pay 30 percent interest and have them debit an account already paid I say go for it.

    I originally borrowed from Household Finance and Springleaf bought or assumed the loan. With hhf we had doubled our payment for a couple years and the principal never dropped compared to amount paid. When I then tried to increase with Springleaf, even spoke directly with them and they said paying the loan early was a good idea. Good idea for them. They put all the money to interest or future payments. Do not use them unless you want an anchor forever. I think the positive comments are either new customers who don't realize what they got or the company makes fake positive posts. Beware is all I can say. Spent 1000's$ in interest that was supposed to go to principal. Just my .02$ Springleaf got the rest.

    Updated on 05/05/2015: OK so my wife spoke to Springleaf customer service today and now we are told that our extra money on the loan was just put towards the next payment instead of the principal (like we requested on the phone and the rep told us that was a good idea to pay down the loan) because we were paying via internet/phone. Guess who is getting a check from now on and all money above the monthly payment will be marked on the memo and better be put towards the principal. Boy this company has soaked me for thousands in interest and my loan balance goes down slowly instead of getting paid off early. Wish I could give this zero stars and beware of this company. They are predatory in my opinion.

I arrived to find that they would not redo my loan and no arrangement was available. Springleaf withdrew money from my account without my permission days later. I cancelled my bank account so they could not withdraw anymore funds.

    Now when a payment comes due (I am two months behind on $287.00) they call me and my wife at least 8 times a day from various numbers throughout the day for a payment and call my references. The one time I did try to speak with someone by phone (after they called me at work and threatened me) they were rude and very condescending.. Another time I sent them a payment via certified mail to make sure they got it and they refused it (actual statement from post office). Is it that serious for $287.00?

    Springleaf should not advertise a personal loan or debt consolidation if all they do is give out title loans. I should've read their reviews before applying. Guys don't be fooled! If you have good credit apply at a credit union. Better chances and a lower interest rate. They just ran my credit twice and pretty much denied me for a personal loan.

    Very knowledgeable and friendly representative. I would recommend this company to a family member or friend. They met all my loan needs very promptly.

    When I had nowhere to turn, ** at the Tannersville, PA office gave me a loan within minutes. I was blown away!! Having lost a lucrative job in 2013 after 16 years and reduced to part time work and social security income, I found myself in a difficult financial situation. He trusted me and gave me a loan. I am so grateful to him. Thank you, ** !

    I called this company on Monday when I received a pre-qualified secured loan offer in the mail. The lady asked me all my personal information then pulled my credit. She told me that I met the criteria and said that someone would be calling me shortly to go over the loan. She gave me a number to call in case they did not get in touch with me. I called it today and it's a number to some sports shop! I'm a bit upset as this company has all my personal information now and I'm starting to think it's a bogus company!!!!
