    My husband got a personal loan using my car as collateral, they said that I signed the documents giving him consent. I finally received the copy of the document three years later. It's not my signature. They have charged my husband over $9171.63 in interest alone, and $3,317.23 that has been applied to the principal of a $12,294.84 loan. I have been insulted, degraded, and treated like a child every time I speak to the Manager of the One Main Financial office in Georgetown, Texas. They are charging my husband for hidden insurance fees that he and I both have ask for that to be removed and refunded the money. They Refuse to do so, they are very unprofessional and over charging my husband. All I want is my car title back, I have paid for the car.

    When I borrowed the first time, all was good. But they added charges that was unwanted. Then I had to borrow again and when asked about those unwanted charges I was told they didn't exist anymore and there was no refund for charges not used. So out of that I lost about $3,000 for those UNWANTED CHARGES. What does this sound like?

    Reyna **, Personal Loan Specialist, made a real difference in my experience. She took the time to truly understand my situation and looked beyond my debts to see my needs. Her guidance was thoughtful, professional, and focused on helping me make wise decisions—especially when it came to paying off my loans. I walked in feeling uncertain and left feeling confident and empowered. That kind of care and attention speaks volumes about the service here. If you’re in the Texas City–La Marque area in Galveston County, I highly recommend asking for Reyna **. She genuinely cares and it shows.

    Very bad customer service and service online is even bad. Before asking soft credit to pull they without asking do hard credit check up and not approve the loan as being said that with the vehicle collateral will be approved and at last, we have to call to find out and the customer service says not approved. What kind of loan is this? Company doesn't explain anything online. This one looks very fake to me. This company shouldn't be. I think looks scam.

    I am a special needs mom and had a serious emergency. As a special-needs parent at times you are call to school several times a week. Situations like this and having no support can make it hard to keep a job and can make people desperate in some situations. I went to One Main, I put my car up as collateral. I borrowed $3000 and then ended up having to borrow 3000 more in 2019. I got so tired of the calls that I finally ask the agent how much have I paid over the last five years. She said $14,000. I nearly fell on the floor. That’s a down payment on the house. Do not work with One Main.

    ONE MAIN FINANCIAL IS NOT A COMPANY THAT IS TRANSPARENT. The company will send out solicitation letters for Consolidation loans- ONLY to offer Debt Programs in which they make financial gain off of people who are already struggling with credit issues. I did not contact this company. This company solicited me without being honest or transparent about their motivation for financial service. Consumers please be aware that there are other programs and companies available that are forthright and have honorable business ethics. One main financial is not one of them. And they have salesmen/women hard sell with insults to frighten consumers into accepting their services through fear and embarrassment- NO SIR- NO WAY!

    Unfortunately, I felt like it was more of a bait and switch than an honest lending firm. I thought because I went through Experian, it would be valid. First, through Experian, I filled out a pre approval application then put in an amount and it said I was approved. I wish now I had a picture of each step. Then they wanted all my information which I felt was reasonable since I was approved for the amount I was interested in. I’m in a bind and didn’t have any other choice. It required a 20 phone interview. That’s when my heart sunk and I realized they were just a predatory lending business. The gentleman was very nice, but started by confirming that I was applying for $35,000! I said no that I was applying for $8,000 unsecured.

    He kept defaulting back to a bigger loan and that they would pay off the car so and then transfer the title to them for the time of the loan. That’s not what I wanted. I said I had been approved for the other amount but I guess approval means different things to different people. Then the approval went from 8 to 4k. They got all my bank information etc. schedule a time for me to come sign papers and get the money. They were also going to call me back. Did not hear anything so I called. I talked to someone else and he suddenly said that they could not approved the loan. Now they have all my information and I’m stuck! I was not just disappointed but angry at myself for thinking this was legitimate!

Stay far away from the Anderson SC branch. That woman there is something else to deal with. So unfortunate that I'm going to have to let them get the truck.

    They structure their payments so that almost nothing goes to principal if you make the normal/requested payment amount. If you have a loan with them, I highly recommend paying at least 25% more per month than they ask for. They certainly come through in a pinch though, when others may turn you down for low credit score.

    STAY AWAY. OneMain Financial is an absolute nightmare to deal with. They’ll tell you your approval odds are outstanding, ask for an endless list of documents, make it seem like you’re “almost there”… And then suddenly change their minds for no reason whatsoever. They repeatedly ask for the same documents over and over, as if they don’t keep track of anything, and then have the nerve to accuse you of lying. The representatives are rude on the phone and treat you with zero respect. They truly do not value their customers. Do yourself a favor and don’t do business with OneMain.

    As the other customers have stated, "RUN" from this company! The service sucks at the Avondale Az location and they are rude! When it's time to pay off (paid in full 12/1/25), my loan was more than what was listed. The app states one amount when I called to pay it off, it was a TOTALLY different amount 759.71 app state 263.45. I paid the DAMN amount and said your company sucks, reported them to the Better Business Bureau. I have 2 other personal loans with Navy Federal and USAA credit union with an amazing interest rate. Please utilize the credit unions or your bank RUN from One Main and others like them. I didn't want 803 credit score affected by this sucky company, so that's why I paid the amount.

    When I first received my loan it was because I needed to get my vehicle repaired. The agent in the Warner Robins branch told me about an auto plan that I could purchase that would cover a percentage of future auto repairs. In selling me the product, the mentioning of the coverage only lasting one year and not the duration of the loan was never told to me. It came across that as long as I had an open loan with them I would have the coverage so I gladly signed the loan docs and added the coverage. Well fast forward when I had to get a motor done on my car, I called to file a claim and at that point was when I was told that the coverage was only good for a year.

    I am pissed because I paid for coverage that I didn't use nor can I use it and they think I am going to add it now to get more money - they can kiss my ----. Why would I pay for something that serves me no purpose now? Unless you going to cover my repairs now I am not giving you an additional 20-30 dollars a month on top of my regular payment. That was a WASTE OF MONEY! I am being told that my payments can't be adjusted because it was paid upfront. This some BS!!!! 'Cause had I known that the coverage was good only for a year I wouldn't have bought it. I am thankful that they were there for me when I needed a loan but once my loan is paid in full they won't get another penny from me.

    So anyone who is trying to be sold the auto protection plan--UNLESS YOU HAVE AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WITH YOUR VEHICLE DON'T BUY IT--YOU ONLY GET 12 MONTHS OF COVERAGE AND IF YOU DON'T USE IT YOU WOULD BE THROWING AWAY MONEY!!!! And you know the crazy part before calling the 3rd party company, the manager at the branch pulled up my account and told me that I had the coverage. Not once didn't he tell me that the coverage expired and when I called back he wanted to go over my policy like I am slow--should have done that the first time I called.

    ONEMAIN FINANCIAL totally wasted my time and too insulted my character. After being preapproved for the loan and too via their process, arriving at the point of signing, suddenly there was a bait and switch and a attempt to insinuate I had engaged in fraud. They alleged my credentials and documents were somehow falsified and/or doctored, yet without proof of such allegation. How absurd!

    All of my documentation and credentials are authentic. In all my years, with the exception of dealing with OneMain Financial, I've never been accused of not being who my credentials (ID) and documentation reflects that I am! Bottom line, don't waste your time their terms are a bait and switch, and they attempt to dupe you into signing up for additional so-called benefits that has nothing to do with the actual loan but will, if selected, elevate the repayment cost of the loan significantly. OneMain Financial states in their online spiel, "Our 110+ years as a trusted lender includes a history of demonstrating empathy".

    Don't be deceived, OneMain Financial absolutely merely demonstrates the fact they're incapable of providing an unbiased understanding in regards to sharing the feelings of another! In fact, I'm glad I didn't get snared by the (trap) loan! I feel much better and will never apply here again! Now, I understand why they have such a low review rating, "96% bad" by customers.

    OneMain Financial – Clinton, MD (Malcolm Road location). I would give this branch zero stars if I could. My experience with OneMain Financial in Clinton was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I received a pre-approval from Jonell and uploaded everything required — my vehicle title (in my business name), insurance info, and photos. I even asked if the business title would be a problem, and she said it wouldn’t.

    After reviewing everything, Jonell told me I was approved. Based on that, I updated my insurance and added OneMain as a lienholder, as instructed. I then had to hook up my trailer, pick it up, and drive over 30 miles in traffic to the branch for them to inspect it. Once I got there, Jonell told me they couldn’t go through with the loan because my trailer had business markings — which were clearly visible in the photos they already reviewed.

    Her manager, Daniel, agreed and admitted they had “dropped the ball.” I wasted over a week, spent money on insurance changes, and took a hard credit inquiry that lowered my score — all because of their mistakes. This company lacks honesty, transparency, and professionalism. I strongly warn anyone thinking about doing business here: ask questions, get everything in writing, and be cautious.

    I strongly advise anyone considering OneMain Financial to stay far away. My experience with this company has been nothing short of predatory and deceptive. They lure people in with promises of quick, “helpful” loans, but once you’re in, you realize how manipulative and unfair their practices are. Their interest rates are sky-high, even for people trying to rebuild their credit, and they don’t clearly explain how much you’ll actually end up paying in the long run. The paperwork and terms are intentionally confusing, and they make it sound like they’re doing you a favor — when in reality, they trap you in long-term, expensive debt.

    What’s worse, their customer service is dismissive and unhelpful once they’ve locked you in. They’ll call and pressure you constantly, but when you need help or clarity, suddenly no one is available. It’s heartbreaking that companies like this prey on people who are already struggling financially. OneMain Financial is not there to help — they’re there to profit off people’s hardship. I deeply regret ever dealing with them.

    ENGLISH. OneMain Financial – San Francisco, CA Branch (5221 Geary Blvd). I applied for a personal loan and submitted all required, legal, and original documents. Throughout the process, OneMain Financial’s staff repeatedly assured me that the loan would be easy to approve, generating expectations. However, the loan was denied without sufficient explanation or justification. On October 16, 2025, I spoke with a Spanish-speaking male advisor whose behavior was disrespectful, unethical, arrogant, and unpleasant. He asked personal questions unrelated to the financial process and refused to provide his name when requested. His attitude was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate for a financial institution representative.

    This type of conduct creates mistrust, especially considering that OneMain Financial has faced legal issues and paid substantial fines in other states for similar misleading and unfair practices, which is an abuse of the expectations of people who need a loan. My experience reflects a lack of transparency, poor customer service, and weak ethical standards. I urge the relevant regulatory authorities to conduct a full investigation, and I call on OneMain Financial to implement immediate corrective actions to protect consumers, ensure ethical behavior, and rebuild trust in their operations. At this time, I cannot recommend this company while these practices continue.
