I was in the market for a used vehicle, but was unable to get financing (I'm a new immigrant) due to my short credit and employment history. Through LendingTree, I found a lender OneMain Financial (Jackson MI), I was contacted by a Ms. Mikayla ** in 10min or less of applying online. Ms. Mikayla helped me or should I say ensured I get the loan as she understood my situation. I highly recommend OneMain Financial Jackson MI to anyone who needs help getting back on track!

Applying for a loan with LendingTree I was approved for a loan with OneMain financial for a collateral loan. I get a call on Monday from a rep at the Athens, TN office of OneMain. We discuss my situation with low credit and income and the only way I could do collateral would be for them to buy the car I was looking at buying she said we can do that. We talked about things a bit more and with my income she didn't want to run credit.
I call back a few days later and asked about adding a cosigner. She said that would work but I had also had explained that my cosigner also had low income and credit. She said, "It would be fine just. Have your cosigner give me a call." Now we have a hard hit on credit with no explanation as to why it wasn't approved. She said the application was kicked out of the system. That makes no sense to me. I think she shouldn't have run credit noting the credit and income situation. It's not a good company to have employees that don't know what they are doing. Don't use them for any reason.

Was approved then go through everything. Then told wasn't... I first applied for a loan without putting anything up. They switched it to having to put my car up which was fine. Then after was told I was approved then have me go through everything. When it was time to go in going to tell me I didn't meet the guilds fully... Waste of time.

Applied for personal loan of $3000.00 for 2nd car to get new car off the road for a while, Decent credit score. Approved for $10,000.00. Requested interest rate info after all docs submitted and approved, told 35%. I said that's the max for GA, she said, "Well you can pay off credit cards," LOL, I said all 3 combined balances are less than $125.00... She said, "Well you have student loans," LOL, I said NOT paying 35% interest on student loans, I said, "Ok, just loan me the $3000.00 I originally asked for." She said our minimum is $3100.00 at which time I said, "No thank you."
I realized that their corrupted game is to MAX OUT interest rate laws in whatever state they operating in because in GA, personal loan interest rate should not exceed 17% if it is $3000.00 or less (unless put in writing). CREDIT KARMA, you should be ashamed for promoting this predatory lender. Think I will just delete my CK account and stick with my Credit Wise acct with Capitol One to manage/monitor my credit.

I have used OneMain Financial several times. The employees was so kind and very understanding of my credit situation. I needed my loan to pay a few bills. The only THING that I DISLIKE about this company is how they harass me with calls a day after the due day. If there is a grace period WHY do you have to call me every month. If I am 30 days behind then I would understand the calls. All you have to do is look at my payment history and see that I make a payment two or three days before the due date. I can't wait until my loan is paid off.

Took out a loan, consolidated some debt, the loan ended up being a title loan. I have been paying on it for almost 2 years now, coming directly out of my account. Well, now my vehicle is not repairable and they will not release the lien so I can junk the car. I was told they had to run my credit again to see if they can release the lien. What kind of ** is that, you want my credit to take a hard hit so you can tell me whether or not you will release the lien. It doesn't matter to them that I have been paying on this loan for almost 2 years now, money comes directly out of my account and I have never been late. I didn't ask you to dismiss the loan. Just release lien so I can junk the car.

Anyone who currently have or had a loan from these crooks need to request a copy ASAP. FROM THEIR OWN SITE. Principal Balance X (Annual Interest Rate/ Year Count) X Number of Days Since Last Payment. $6,000 X (24.36% 365) X 31 = $124.13 Standard Monthly Payment Amount – Monthly Interest Due. What I SHOULD be paying. Principal Balance $3100 x (24.36% 365) X 31 = $64.13. What I am being charged? $180.48 3X the amount! I am contacting every agency with this discovery. You may also be a victim and if they refuse your request, its a civil rights violation and the FBI should be contacted. They have a section for internet complaints.

OneMain Financial was so kind and very understanding of my situation. My credit wasn't very good but I got my loan. I needed my loan for medical reasons and they was very prompt. They made me and my wife feel comfortable and wanted. They could have denied my request but they didn't. I will return there for my financial needs in the future. Thank you so much. I recommend them for your financial needs.

I had 2 separate loans through OneMain Financial. From the minute I walked in the door, everything was explained to me in detail, they did not try and hide anything. I never defaulted on my loan, everything went smoothly for the life of the loan. I would definitely use them again for a loan in a pinch.

I found OneMain Financial via Credit Karma (I assume they pay an advertising fee to be featured on their site). I applied for a $2500 loan, got an immediate email saying I was approved for an unsecured loan up to $2500 and secured up to $17,000...ok, makes sense so far. The rep called me and as we walked through the process the rep told me that I needed to bring the title of my car with me. I immediately stopped him and started asking him questions. He could not articulate to me the reason he needed me to bring my title besides that it was the law...I forgot to tell him that I am a 3rd year law student and if he was not a payday lender that required collateral for subprime loans, he would not need my car as collateral.
OneMain Financial is a RIP OFF. It is just another name for payday and title loan lender...it's just a little fancier. They prey of individuals like myself with fair or poor credit. I have worked to get my credit back on track and OneMain Financial is definitely a way to destroy it. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM ONEMAIN FINANCIAL - it is a RIPOFF!!! I do not knock their hustle, but it is definitely one that should be closed down because it is not only bait and switch, but they advertise deceptively.

Needed to consolidate 2 credit cards. Everything is done by computer, and they click click click. They did the acknowledgments their selves. Then click here to sign. Before I know it, large monthly payment. Insurance out the yin yang. Now after a decent credit score, mine is low. They do not educate people. I found out through mail my interest, my payment and insurance. She said, "This will be less than the payments you are making now." BS. It was higher, and now I am in collections, due to it. I should sue, but don't have the ability to. I can't buy a house thanks to this company.

Insisted I use my car, They are holding my title. All of a sudden they stopped withholding on Nov 14 2018. They were at my car Wednesday at 10:00 PM. No paper work shown just took my car. The past year I have not had a job which I had informed them (75 applications). We have asked repeatedly for paper work explaining the arrangements. We asked for paper work showing the itemized repossessing. They have never cooperated in this area of paperwork. No I would not use this company again. They don't give a ** about people.

I have been working to build up my credit for a while now and I finally made it into the 600s and was happy that I am being responsible with taking care of my credit. I used Credit Karma as a tool to help me apply for credit cards and loans because they let me know my approval odds. I recently applied for OneMain Financial and I wish that I had not done so. The only reason I applied for OneMain Financial is because Credit Karma said that I had excellent approval odds for a $2,000 loan I needed for car repairs. After reading the reviews and seeing they had good feedback from other customers I decided to apply.
OneMain Financial approved me for a loan up to $8,000, which I didn't need that much at all. After applying I had to talk to a rep from the local branch to schedule an appointment, but the rep said that I was not approved because of the value of my car which is a 2008 Altima. OneMain Financial approved me for a loan but they were going to use my car as collateral. Nowhere on Credit Karma or their website when you apply do they say anything about using your vehicle as collateral until after you apply and the inquiry hits your credit. The rep said that even if I applied for the minimum $1,500 I still wouldn't get approved because of my vehicle.
When I looked up the value of my vehicle on several websites including KBB, the value of my vehicle for each site was at least $2,500. So I'm not sure why OneMain Financial wouldn't accept my vehicle, and because they didn't, my score dropped and now I have an inquiry on my credit for no reason even though I had excellent approval odds and was approved for up to $8,000. Be aware because the reviews may be misleading or created by people that just work for the company.

For the last 3 years, I have worked diligently to raise my credit score so I would be able to obtain a mortgage so I can buy a home. One of the ways to do this is by obtaining credit, and maintaining the credit in a responsible manner. I received an email from OneMain Financial advertising an opportunity to obtain a loan, in which email I was assured that my credit score would not be affected by my responding to their advertisement (The first page of the attachment is the email I was sent by OneMail Financial). I responded to their advertisement and filled out an application expecting that my credit score would not be affected. At the bottom of the application, I was again assured that this would not affect my credit score.
The same day I was notified by my Experian notification system of a change to my credit score. Upon logging on, I was notified by Experian that my credit score had been reduced by seven points. I believe that OneMain Financial obviously lied about the effect on my credit score in order to entice me to apply, in spite of the fact that if I had known that doing so would reduce my credit score I would have declined to do so. At best, this is an unethical advertising practice, and at worst, may be illegal. I wish to lodge a formal complaint against OneMain Financial for subjecting me to untrue or misleading advertising practices.

I first have to say, after reading several recent reviews. I’m quite confused about the write ups. Some being shocked about the high interest, but they accepted it when they reviewed their docs prior to signing and accepting the loan. One person was upset because they were later asked for collateral i.e. a car to secure the loan after being pre-approved although they said they were approved. Not true, as OneMain operates like every other lender. 1st you submit your docs for pre-approval, then a rep calls to verify your info and check out your actual facts. Then all that info is sent to an underwriter. That’s who makes the final decision, not the sales rep/loan servicer you're on the phone with. Lastly, someone gave a 1 star because they late on payments due to being consumed with a sick spouse. And was upset with the rep for not helping as much as they felt they should have been helped.
Two issues with this review; you default on your bills, they come every month like click work how you forget... When they were calling you 100x and you ignored the call and the voicemails, that was them trying to work out. Lastly, when you take a pan from OneMain they ask you if you would like to buy insurance for a few more dollars to cover you to the life of the loan in case you have a problem paying. You roll the dice when you choose no! People this is a high interest credit lender for people with bad credit, no credit etc.. Bottom line you’ve been denied credit at other lenders who do not trust you to pay the money back. So, yes OneMain will lend you the money... maybe but you will pay a high interest and you may have to put up collateral if your credit is really jacked! But, no one is going to give someone money (who has poor money habits) for free!
Here is the deal if Credit Karma recommended them for you and not JP Morgan Chase Bank that’s because you have poor credit standing. I am no exception to that rule, but I knew what I was walking into with the high interest rate, I did not need to put collateral up and what they said I was approved for, that’s what I got a check for. I am on my 2nd loan with them. I paid the first one off with the 2nd one early to build my credit standing. I have a plan to pay my 2nd one off early with out of pocket funds, so that I’m not paying 2x more back as my interest rate is 16%. But my payment is low and manageable so that I am assured to never miss a payment.
I have insurance in case I get sick and cannot work, and I’m not blind to the fact that this is a ** loan but they were the lender that took a chance with me when no one else would not have. My credit went into toilet after several job lost and failed business and a sick husband, so I’ve had all these issues these people have had but blaming my poor money management, inability to read the leading docs, and my acceptance of a high interest loan on the lender. Bottom line, OneMain is very upfront with who they are. I think some folks need to do a better job at reassessing who they are and their needs. OneMain is a great lender for people with bad credit. They are way better than a payday lender. I would recommend them if you have good credit, healthy cash flow and collateral.

I found this company through Credit Karma. Credit Karma had this company (OneMain Financial) as very highly debt consolidation approval for me, taking in consideration all my credit information and past and current history; just to mention it. It's common knowledge Credit Karma have it if any person sign up with them. Before I put all my credit information in one main financial website to get approve, the only requirements were and valid ID, proof of income, and that they were going to verify that my utilities and rent or mortgage monthly payments were not more than my income to afford them; which are not and that's all they need it.
I sent all my documents and fill up all the blanks with my credit and personal information in their (OneMain Financial) website and I was approved ($6000) but now they were adding a collateral; a car for me to have as collateral. Next day their local office call me and ask me few personal question. I told them I did not really need it $6000 but they told me that did not matter the amount i still need it to have a car as collateral. I did not continue.
Now I am rating this company one star because they claim in their website all they need for to approve you it is for you to have a job and proof of it and the utilities and mortgage comparison against your income but never about a car as collateral after they have use your information and created for you an inquiry in your credit report. Why after they create for you an inquiry checking on your information? Why the don't they at least mention that there will be a great chance of the need of a collateral? Inquiry in your credit may not always bad but if there is not need of them even more when some company comes up with tricks and not been clear from the start why to have it. They just cost a no need result just because they just like tricks and not be clear from the start. We do not need these types of companies either. Do not use them.

I had fallen behind in loan payments because my spouse was seriously ill and I was paying all the bills. I should of called sooner but had other things like his health on my mind. I finally did. A nice young man made arrangements with me. Said if I keep the next three. The balance will go to end of loan and out of collections. He also told me if any issue comes up call back and let them know so they can work with me.
Today 01-25-19 I called to ask for a 1 day extension from 01-31-19 to 02-01-19. I had to pay an unexpected bill this morning and to not have the electronic payment bounce and get hit with penalty from bank or OneMain. I called and what did the case manager say, "Can you pay less?" Did she hear what I just told her? Incredible. She also said, "I cannot promise it will not go to legal action if not paid." What a bunch of Crooks. They charge high interest and are unworkable. I know collections for 30 years. They could of extending for a day. But they a cruel and heartless. A bunch of blood sucking pythons. I will never do business with this company again once paid in full.

After telling the branch that I would be paying my entire loan balance off in 17 days of my January due date, I got daily calls regarding a 5-day late payment (never late before ever in 3 years) and advise I would be paying it completely off in 17 days of the due date. Today I got another call (third one, and the worst one) threatening me that if my loan is not paid by 1/31/19 it would be reporting as a 30 day late on my CBR which is a complete violation of the FCRA, my loan due date is Jan 17, 2019. Jan 31st my loan WILL NOT BE 30 days past due, so this company CANNOT report my loan as being 30 days late. This was a threat on me and I know my rights as a consumer, and am not happy with the LACK of customer service I got today.
Again, an ACH customer that NEVER gets calls or calls in, I pay on time every month, and have for 3 years. I will NEVER engage in another personal loan with ONEMAIN again after being told that I will have a 30 day late on 1/31 with a due date of 1/17. This is an unfair practice, and against the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I will be reaching out to the BBB, CFPB, FCRA and Consumer Affairs along with making contact directly with Doug Shulman about this outrageous encounter with this branch in Carrollton TX.

I just recently signed up with Credit Karma and found out that I qualified for a consolidation loan with OneMain Financial for $3,700, which is the exact amount of my total credit card debt. Great! I can have everything in 1 easy payment per month and a set date of completion, rather than paying various cards and juggling multiple log-ins and credit limits for who-knows how long. I clicked on the link and after entering my financial info, it said that I was approved... For $9,700?! After doing a hard inquiry on my credit. :( I never asked for anywhere near that amount of money. **Strike 1!**
I then got a call from OneMain Financial from the person who said that she would be the one working with my loan (she wasn't). **Strike 2!** I already entered my info online and also uploaded financial documents to prove income, etc. Why are we doing this all over again if I provided physical evidence? Why has there been zero discussion about the actual loan amount (that was triple my original request) or the interest rate? A few days later, I get a call from a man who is supposedly the one who will be REALLY taking care of the account (he isn't). He says that I am approved and his underwriter will have an answer for him in about 15-20 minutes. I don't hear back from him for SIX DAYS! **Strike 3!**
The man calls me back this morning and decides to casually mention that I am approved for the loan and that I could qualify for more! Great! Except that: 1) I will need to come to the branch office in person to do a loan closing, 2) He wants additional documents that he did not request before and, 3) the branch office is 2 hours away. **Strike 4!** Nope! I express my obvious concerns about all of this over the phone and then he suddenly says he has to go into a meeting but he will call me back in a few minutes. Of course, he doesn't call back. I call him back this afternoon to cancel the loan request and he then says "Sorry, your loan has not been approved by the underwriter." Really?! They were ready to loan me money 4 hours ago! The only thing that changed from this morning to this afternoon was that I gave OneMain Financial a justified criticism about their bait-and-switch loan tactics.
Do NOT do business with this company. I am actually lucky. I was already going to turn them down, so it worked out. I have more money than I owe (barely), so I can suck it up and just pay off my current debts the slow and old-fashioned way of budgeting and working. But many people in America are not so lucky and predatory lenders are a scourge on honest citizens. Please choose a different company if you wish to take out a loan!

Don't take a loan or sign your life away to this company. They will make your loan a living hell because they don't put their loans in collections or work with you properly if you cannot pay. Instead they harass you and your contacts with phone calls. Mail you threatening letters. They will take you to court to get money back for loans not paid if they have to and you could go to jail. There are better loan companies and interest rates to deal with these guys. You will regret taking a loan from them. With their tactics there is a reason they take a chance on guys when no one else will because they know they can make your life a living hell compared to other loan companies if you default or just cannot pay what they are asking for.

The application process was easy. I submitted all documents online and received a call back same day. The issue was there was a disconnect with the bank they used in New York and their follow up process is horrible. They called a week later and left me a message. I returned the call assuming we were all set to go ahead with the loan, but the woman said they were still reviewing and would call me back. They claim they tried to reach me twice while I didn't hear back and when I logged in online it stated I only had a few days as the loan would expire. I called them again and they said my credit was ran and the loan had already expired. There was never an email letting me know they were still reviewing or a call back regarding the loan expiring. The worst experience and now my credit score is lower and I have no loan!

Please know that One Main Financial has the type of payment structure that goes almost exclusively to the interest, not the principal, at the beginning (and for quite a while during the lifetime of the loan I assume). I was new to getting a loan and didn't realize that that was how the repayment was structured. It took a couple of months for me to realize it. The realization hit me one day when I was looking over my statement and I saw that the principal of my loan had only gone down $11 although my monthly payment was $339.68. I immediately started looking for a better consolidation loan and was able to get a new loan through my credit union (with a MUCH better interest rate).
The upshot is that I borrowed $10,000 from One Main (plus I signed up for some of their insurance but I don't know how to calculate that into this). After seven months of paying $339.68 towards my loan, my pay off amount was $9895. In other words, I paid $2377.76 on my 10K loan over seven months, but only $105 of that amount went toward the principal. RUN!

I recently ended business with this loan company with a balloon payment done to pay off a small loan with them of 5k which I took out 6 months ago. In those six months I was paying my term way over the minimum and on time every month. Now today in which I decided to pay off the loan in full to finish with that debt. They decide to screw me charging me late fees when I never ever did a late payment and they charge me for some insurance that I never agree on, and as well the balance that I had left over the payments I had done, wasn't the final balance.
They decided to charge me another $100 because just paying off my balance wasn't enough for them, so I am taking action against this company and I do not recommend this company at all even if it works with slightly challenged credit, because it is obvious its there target demographic and they feed off people that don't have all the means to pay of loan fast and even if you do have the means and go into one of there local offices they lie and try to avoid explaining details about what that is charging you on and breaking it down as much as possible. It seems pretty shady, as it was, terrible company, look elsewhere, consumers be warned, or literally pay the price 2.5x the value of the loan you took out.

In the beginning, One Main Financial was wonderful! I was approved rather quickly and even when I fell behind, they offered to re-fi my loan which allowed me to skip a month during the Holidays! But my health continued to challenge me and I fell behind again. The phone calls started, one to four per HOUR. When I called the branch I was insulted and belittled. It was beyond anything that any of my other creditors had ever done. But, I understand, it was my fault for falling behind. HOWEVER, I finally got better and I paid the loan off in full in one payment. Almost $8, 000.00... And the phone calls continued. They claim that although I paid the loan off in full, I miraculously still owe almost $1K in daily interest. I've had some bad decision loans before but NEVER have I been told that I still owe after paying a loan in full. There are other loans out there. PLEASE do not use One Main!!!!

So I go in to sign the paperwork and was told that the monthly payment was going to be $191 instead of what I was paying which was lower.
After I signed the paperwork the $499 on the loan seemed to bring the whole loan amount back to almost $5300. What the heck! What they did, without fully disclosing their intention, was refinance the loan which jacked my payments up, and now I have over $5300 that I have to pay back. All they could talk about was "the special" in November. What the special actually is, is refinancing your loan so they can make more money and the agents get a spiff for closing it. It's an unfair practice and somebody needs to take a look at it. No one verbally told me that they were refinancing a loan.

I received an Equifax alert that a credit inquiry had been made under my name with OneMain Financial. The day after the inquiry was made, I called OneMain, the representative agreed that the application was fraudulent. They agreed to kill the application. I asked them to pull back the credit inquiry. They were not willing to do so. A month later I received a letter from OneMain indicating that they denied my application. I called again indicating that this was a fraudulent application. They refused to take any action.
Now the denial of the loan has been reported to the credit bureaus and my credit score took a big hit due to the denial. OneMain has refused to take any further action. They refuse to let me talk to their fraud department. I think this is reprehensible and shows that they couldn't care less how their actions have impacted me. So beware if you choose to deal with this company. By the way, I called OneMain the next day after the fraudulent application was made.

I really thought these people were here to assist with getting the loan you need. Did an online application with all honesty. "We’re ready to speak to with you, we’ll reach out shortly." Shortly still didn’t happen. Received another email saying just need to finalize my loan. I finalized the application, got approved. Just needed to verify some information. I sent in all documentations. No one called to say they received my via email documents.
When I did call the representative asked me several questions again answered honestly, but if you had received my documents it would have saved me time and gas to travel across town for a denied because I was short of now a $50 more requirement then mention anywhere on my online application and phone interview. How can I get the misinterpretation on Gross and Net when I know what I make and how much I bring home. When you feel you can just switch the wording around via phone versus online application then there’s an issue. All I know is honesty is the key. If you’re going to do business everyone should be on the same page. Meaning documents should be available to you and the customers so when things like this arise everybody can be on the same page. If I answered the online information truthfully I shouldn’t be questioned again by a call.

I have had personal loan with One Financial for several years. The majority of my contract has been without issues. However, on November 13 I called in to make my regular scheduled payment due on the 21st of month, actually I was early with my payment as usual. Before I could make my payment the young lady told me that looking at my account I was actually a month ahead on my payments and that it would be ok if I chose not to make the payment for the month of November, being close to the holidays I confirmed with her that if decided to take her up on this offer, everything would be ok and I could resume my regular payment in December. She stated yes. The overpayment would be applied to the November bill just as it is done each month.
Forward to December 14th. While reviewing my November statement I noticed that I'm being charged daily interest for the payment in November. Although I was told that I was overpaid for November. Maybe I'm stupid but, how are you changed daily interest on something that was overpaid. When I contacted the Riverside office, I was told by Cindy that it was a promotion that was being offered for the month of November. However, nowhere during my conversation with the rep. In November was it told or offered to me that what was being told to me was simply a promotion otherwise like I mentioned to Cindy, I would have passed on the promotion and stayed one month ahead on my payments.
I feel that this is a very unfair, unprofessional practice. Complete details should have been disclosed so that I could have made a more informed decision. I called the office on the afternoon of December 14th only to be told, "No worries, I completely understood how this would be upsetting. However, it was the promotion we were offering to all of our customers during November." From my understanding, it's a promotional offer when it's an option with full disclosure. When I'm finished paying the loan off, After reading how dishonest One Main seems to be. I will be sure to obtain my personal loan from my credit union. The only reason I'm rating is because it's required in order to submit the complaint.

Sounds to me, like she didn't like for that fact that I put her in her place this morning, because she is managing an employee that doesn't know how to do his job and her as a manager is unprofessional for stating that she will give me a call back, and it never happened (and it's been almost 2 weeks now since I applied). So because of that, my application got declined. How did it go from, I was approved online for 9000 unsecured or 15,500 secured, to they can only approved me for 5000 unsecured, to they might be able to approved me 9000 secured, to not being able to approved for any loan at all. Tell me what you guys think???
I'm more upset for that fact that, I applied due to excellent odd (which I was approved) and jacked up my credit score for no reason, just because the people that worked in this local office is unprofessional. And I'm not crazy for even thinking that they will declined me for putting them in their place for being unprofessional (in a very nice, not rude way). I'm a underwriter case manager myself, so I know how stuff works in the underwriting world. Someone can be more than approved for a loan, but it just depends if the underwriter/manager want to deal with that client or not. That's how it works. I will give this company a 0 star if I had the option, but I don't. Oh well, it is what it is!!! Thanks for nothing!

Being in a hard spot I had to get a loan. With 42% interest I wouldn't recommend this place anyway. One of my friends was also in a hard spot. He asked where I got the loan. I remembered that they told me if I recommended someone I would receive $100. Do you really think they gave me that money? If you guessed no you are exactly right! The guy Garrett told me that I would get it after asking about it, so I waited a month never got the money so I called again. This time I spoke Hector the manager. He was very unfriendly from the start, put me on hold to figure out how to get around this issue that was in front of him. So he gave me a bs story why he couldn't give me the money. Bottom line don't use this place for a loan. Go to Avant. They are much nicer and will give you your reference money.

I applied for $5,000 through Credit Karma because my chances of getting approved was “excellent”, I did get approved for $6,800 and was told to send in documents. I sent in everything that was required, then I was told to send in a couple more documents by Nate that was handling my case and that he would be able to get me closed out afterward. A day later I couldn’t even get in contact with Nate and had to deal with other reps and neither knew what to do. They said I had to do security questions, then they say I didn’t have to do security questions, then the questions wouldn’t generate for them. I was told to send in a W2, social security card, or one more other document (I don’t remember what it was) that shows the last four of my social security number.
I sent in a copy of my social security card that I had in my files, as my social security card was ripped in missing a number, and I sent a W2. So I sent in two of the three when only one was required. I was then told that I couldn’t use any of those documents and that they need to see the actual blue social security card, not a copy or a W2. (I took a screenshot of what was asked of me online for uploading documents.) And what they was asking was different from what the online uploading the documents part was asking.
I sent document after document with no hesitation and was told they would send it in and that I should be fine with the copy of the social security card and will be able to sign my loan agreement within the next couple hours. I called back after 4 hours and put my last 4 in, then the automated system told me I was denied, which was a shock to me because every other time I called, it kept saying that my application is almost complete. I just want to know who dropped the ball in my loan application process? How do I go from being approved for an amount larger than I asked for to being denied and no one can tell me why? Then when I asked for a supervisor, all of them all in a meeting and no one can help me. Very disappointed, and to think I turned down Avant because I “thought” the reviews were better for OneMain Financial, lies...

They may have an offer in line for you, but it's most likely "conditional," so as soon as you call to finish up the application they'll force you to finance more or deny you. For example, I just wanted a $5000 loan to consolidate credit card debt and they saw that I owed $30,000 on my car, so the "condition" was that I MUST finance $35,000 or no loan. This was AFTER pulling my credit, being "approved for a small loan." Be VERY careful and honestly don't use them if they can't tell you the truth upfront.

You borrow x amount of dollars and as soon as you pull your credit to check anything you will see that they tacked on ALL your interest that you will pay for the full term of your loan. Doesn’t matter that you will pay off your loan in less time either. They don’t seem to care how they affect people’s credit. Not cool when trying to buy something else. Debt to income ratio is now all screwed up so good luck getting any other type of loan. Borrowed $7500 and in only 6 months of paying my payoff is now $8500 and I’ve already paid them over $1500. So in a quick 6 months they have already profited over $2500. Think long and hard if this company is someone you really need to borrow from. And FYI my credit isn’t even bad.

So I sent that through then like 2 days later he said, "Actually you need a cosigner and all will good." So I did. I ran around getting all of this information today for him to say on Friday "sorry unfortunately you were not approved" as if that's a justifiable reason/response for how much we've been in contact and with you basically confirming I had the loan initially.
My co-signer has an above average credit score. It makes no sense. During the whole process Gregory was unprepared and unprofessional. Absolutely ZERO phone skills - mumbling, studdering, talking low, NEVER had the information in front of him. I only ignored his lack of professionalism because he was assuring me a loan.

Once again, no call in the morning, so I called him. He told me they hadn't even looked at it and he would put a rush on it and get back to me within 30-40 minutes. Two hours later I got a phone call to tell me I was declined. Why the heck would you put someone through all the BS. I turned down several other places that were willing to loan me money because I THOUGHT I was approved through you. Very disappointing experience. Will not try using them ever again.

I needed roughly Five K to take care of some medical bills that had been sent to collections. My credit was on an upswing before the hospital had sent them to collections but because of that, all regular avenues of loan servicing were cut off from me, even with a 650 credit score. I went to AM-One and they paired me with several lenders, one of which was OneMain. But, because of some of the negative reviews I had read, I tried a couple of the other lenders. One was nice enough to give me half of my asked for amount for a payment of over 400.00 for 13 months. I declined the loan. So I decided to give OneMain a try and I WAS AMAZED.
Yes the interest rate is a tich bit high but the terms of the loan are very reasonable, the payment is reasonable and affordable, and I was approved and received funding in a day and a half. I worked with the Taylorsville Utah Office and my loan officer was Madison. She was so helpful and so nice and I was in and out of the office in a half hour, with my funding happening the next day. Don’t believe everything you read when it comes to OneMain. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been late on payments a few time due to disability. I have never missed payments but only late. They continue to say I missed payments just made me make three payments. There are payments missing. And beware if you are late. They take your entire payment and put it to interest and nothing at all to the principal of the loan. I am not sure how they are getting away with this. I was out on disability twice and made it impossible to get help even when you have the insurance. And on top of everything else let’s not forget about the harassing phone calls. They blow up your phones all day long. I feel that I should have been charged a late fee. But to keep taking my payments and not give credit. Is insane. Please people stay away.

I absolutely love our local branch. They helped find a solution when we were financially having hard times. They always work with us and appreciate that we have been great customers for many years now. During our first loan we always paid on time, but this last time around the last few months were hard and they didn't judge us or harass us at all like some places would. We are now back on track because they helped us find a solution. I will never go anywhere else for a loan.

This company is horrible. Bad customer service, very high employee turn around. Bad information passed along and they try to do the bait and switch, which unfortunately I fell for. I defaulted on my loan after paying on it for a number of years. Due to some unexpected hardships I was unable to make further payments nor were they willing to settle for lower payments. They garnished my wages and that paid off the borrowed amount. They have now sold the $8000 unpaid interest amount to an attorney who now wants the money. I would have been better off filing for bankruptcy to begin with. Stay away from them. They'll kick you when you are already down.

If I could leave -100 stars I would! I got a 15.97% interest loan ($17262 doesn't include payback) to pay off credit cards and had an in depth discussion on never close cards because it affects credit score. They offered to send in the payment for the loans. When I checked the counts, 6 of the 7 had closed. I contacted every company and everyone said they had received a letter from ME with my signature instructing them to close my account. It dropped my credit score 52 points. OneMain told me they hadn't done this, who are you going to believe 1 person or 6 people?! I had the one company send me a letter so that I have proof. Can you say forgery?!
I went thru my normal lender, got 5.99% interest and paid $13707 off within a week of taking the loan out. Balance $2707, I'm giving you #'s so you can see the grasp of this. My payments would have been $607 a month but because I was paid so far ahead, I didn't make 2 payments because I was waiting on a check to finish off the balance. Keep in mind, these payments weren't late because I was paid up to the year 2020. When I got the final payoff yesterday, they added $642 interest for 2 months. I understand interest accrual, this is ridiculous. No interest accrual was listed on my November, December & January statements. The loan is now paid off and I have contacted legal representation to see what recourse I have especially for the forgery. IF you get a loan thru them, proceed at your own risk.

First, they took forever getting back to me after I called them back. Then they neglect to tell you the ridiculous interest rate until the day you sign. Once the loan was signed, they give you a ten day grace period on the due date. But on the first day after the due date they call incessantly. At least once a day sometimes more. l would mail my payment to the Ohio address, and if it was a day late arriving they tack on a late fee and harass you about that. Most places look at the postmark and if it was mailed before the due date they waived the late fee. Not these buttheads, nope not a chance. And as I said they call daily expecting you to send the late fee right now. Did they help in a time of need? Yes they did.
They kept the payment where I needed it to be. The interest rate will kill me. Joke's on them, they gave a $6,000 loan on a vehicle that only has a Kelly Blue Book Value of $3,000-$3500. It has 135000 miles on it and is just about worn out. With a 6 year loan the vehicle won't be worth squat when the loan comes to maturity. Now would I recommend them to a friend, no. Heck I would not recommend them to an enemy. They remind me of a company from years ago called Household Finance. They had the same practices and went belly up after a few years. Do not know what happened to their loans though. To end stay away from this company if you can. If not be very careful and ignore the harassment. Be sure and make your payments.

They add all these extra costs on for insurance and such and tell you it will be added with the finance charge, but you are also paying interest on it! I have about 375.00 payment monthly, statement shows 250 goes to interest, 125 goes to principal.

After it's deposited they do a security measures check and "call me" to verify I deposited this. They request a photo ID and ask if I am me! I asked how on earth it is legal to send $7,000.00 in the US mail when anyone can steal this and deposit it and steal my identity. Anyone make an ID saying they are me and speak the words they are me.
For crying out loud I never applied for this loan, never asked for this "money" and they said they buy people's information from third party companies and then solicit that way hoping to get loans. So apparently it's legal to send real checks that are loans to people in the regular mail and they could care less if it gets stolen and we who are on the receiving end that have no idea this is happening just have to hope no one steals our mail and our identity never gets stolen cause apparently any of these companies can do whatever they want legally.
According to Christina the assistant brand manager who has work at this location for 5 years and she also has no idea where they buy our private personal information from or how far back it's dated that their company gets our private personal information. So be aware everyone. This is a very very very big problem and we can have our identity stolen and this company would never protect us if someone other than you yourself deposits this actual money they are sending in the regular US mail!!!
