Prosper Reviews

This company is a waste of time and why I say that because I have applied many times and still get turned down for a loan or credit card. This company is not there to help you at all. Waste of my time. Keep on sending marketing email.

Stay far, far away and trust these reviews because I sure wish I did. Charged me over $7000 on a $12000 loan. Complete scam and they had the nerve to take out $500 of the $12000 loan. 14% my **. They'll e sign documents for you and put the money in your account and next thing you know you're stuck paying a large monthly payment. Luckily I only have 6k left on this crazy loan. Stay AWAY trust me

Got a loan though Prosper. It took a few days, but the only thing is that their interest rate is high and if I could do it all over I would right now. I cannot change what has been done right now. Next time I will do more research.

Prosper was great up until a few months ago. I renewed my military SCRA on my account to lower my interest rate. Submitted the documents requested and now Prosper is saying they are having system issues with lowering my interest rate and are charging me the higher rate completely disregarding the military SCRA law. I have reached out to them several times about the status of my request and they continue to say they are having issues and continue to take my payment at the higher interest rate! I will not be using them again!!!!

I applied a for a 3000 dollar loan thru them and was told I was approved. They then told me to verify my bank account and they would send “ verification money” to make sure my account was good and active. Come to find out they went in my account and disputed several payments to Verizon from months past and my phone was cut off and I had to borrow money from my dad to pay back. I had to also switch banks since I was $1500 negative. No response whatsoever from these people since. I am trying to figure out how to sue these people.

Prosper has the most incompetent employees I have ever dealt with. They can't schedule auto pay nor take your bank info to run a payment without making a mistake. When you ask for a manager they make you wait for over an hour then say they are busy. As soon as I pay them off the card gets canceled. Be careful with them.

They are predatory lenders, the interest they charge should be illegal. They will not give you a statement that shows your balance. DO NOT USE THEM!!! SCAMMERS at best! I should have done my research before using them. Do not let Credit Karma sway you with these loans.

Prosper is not a lender, it's a marketplace broker that shops your application around for private investors to grant you a loan. Website advertises up to 2 business days time to receive funding after approval. It's been 3 business days and Prosper representatives says it take up to 5 business days to be fully approved and up to 14 business days after that to actually receive the funds. No guarantee as they again, ARE NOT A LENDER.

Prosper is a very disgusting and shady lender!! They lied about the interest rate and they processed a loan I did not give them permission! I was only looking around. I made ALL my payments on time and even paid the loan early. They dinged my credit score 1st lying and said since they sent me an offer it wouldn’t be a hard inquiry and it was! Then they refused to help when you call because no one speaks English and hang up on you! They reported my loan as “closed” instead of paid off and it dinged my credit score -13 points because they wouldn’t fix it, very poor customer service and bad business!

This place is beautiful, exceptionally professional, and does great services. I am looking forward to receiving all services that they provide at this place of business. When I went to consult the consultation representative was super nice and sweet and thoroughly went over all the details for me. I’m very appreciative for the help and I looking forward to work with them regarding all of my body goes. I am exceptionally happy I found them.!!

I currently have a loan with Prosper and have had 4 others in the past. The same bank account was used on all loans. I applied for a second loan and was made to do a bank verification over the phone which took well over an hour to complete. During the call, Prosper reached out to my bank and did a 3 way call to verify bank details. After completing the bank verification, the representative from Prosper started to provide my full social security number to the bank representative when I had to stop her. This is completely inappropriate to provide that number to a stranger without my consent and even the bank representative was shocked.

Like others on here, I was preapproved, mine was $8,000. My Credit Score WAS 815. For reasons known only to scammers like Prosper, they hard-pulled my credit THREE TIMES. No, they were not given permission. Said I was approved, "Just sign these loan docs, here's your rate, amount financed, oh wait, it MUST be paid from your personal bank account, so you have to supply us with that. Don't worry, we'll deposit the funds in that account." Sounds legit. Input my personal banking. I've got everyone on here beat! Not 2 minutes, but 5 seconds later! Email came thru, they couldn't verify who I was or where I work or some other made-up **. On a Sunday. I worked as a Fraud Analyst for MC, Visa, Discover - there is absolutely NO WAY for the system to verify, all by itself, anything about you, such as your employer or income, in 5 seconds! Not even 5 minutes.

After spending over three hours going through technical glitches in the application process for a personal loan which I was preapproved for, I just got denied! I know I stated in in the preapproval process I had fair credit and I think I got denied because my score was below 640. Lucky I don't need their money but beware!!! You may not have a good chance even you're preapproved. I don't need their 35% APR so Prosper did me a favor actually. Strange with a good income and no late payments in 4 years or so. Just save money instead of trying to get a loan from sharks. Lesson learned.

Do not apply: very hard to understand the loan officer or customer service on the phone, they ask for all of these docs, and request for more docs & after denial, you're told to re-apply & upon trying to do so, they ask for more information than before. APR is so high & I'm glad I dodged this bullet of death. No one speaks good understanding English. Not worth it.

9/1/2022 Absolutely horrible. I sat and applied for the loan. Put my SS # and my bank info. I clicked submit. In less than 2 minutes I get an email saying my account was suspended and unable to obtain a loan. The reason was unable to verify my identity and employment.... How did this company even try to verify anything in under two minutes. My credit score is 720. AVOID THIS COMPANY. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR.

I was pre-approved for a loan. I filled out the paperwork and had the loan offer. I took two days to shop around for a lower rate. Upon returning to prosper I completed and signed my loan agreement. They ran my credit for a SECOND time and then denied me based on one issue: Too many credit inquiries in the recent year from similar companies. They were the ones who fill out my credit inquiry list. Web bank times 4 during the time I shopped for credit. This company needs to be avoided as they ruined my chance at receiving a personal loan from almost any company with all their extra inquires.

I made a 0.8% return on my investment over a 3 year period when I first tried investing with Prosper. Many of the loans were sent to collections and I did not receive my investment back. I chose to mostly invest with lendees with at least a "B" rating, but even some of the "A" rated lendees did not pay and went to collections. I do not know how Prosper is investigating the lendees, but it does not reflect how likely they are to pay. The lender interface to view the investments is also misleading and make your investment return look better than it is. At the end of the 3-year period, the interface stated I made 3% on my money (still a horrible rate over 3 years), but when I did the calculation manually, I had only made .8%. You are much better off with traditional investments than trying to profit off of the debt of your fellow citizens.

Please let this sink in. You need financial assistance and you take your chance with Prosper. You apply, and after a hard pull on your credit, Prosper tells you, "approved". You allow them access to your bank account and then provide a copy of your driver's license electronically, per their request. You wait. Two days later your loan is cancelled and you receive an email saying, "We could not verify identity". It is a scam to get your information. They know everything about you now. And, the sad thing is, they get away with it. Read the negative reviews. They are real.

DO NOT APPLY! I applied for a personal loan and agreed to ONE hard credit pull and now I am getting alerts that my credit has dropped 15-20 points due to multiple hard credit pulls from Prosper. Additionally, the company definitely should be investigated for falsely advertising. They sent me an email saying I was "approved" for a loan. NOT "pre-approved" or "pre-qualified", "APPROVED". Then, after submitting all my documents and information needed for a hard pull, I find out I wasn't actually approved yet and that everything I submitted was not meant to verify my information, but instead meant to be used for a loan approval process. NOT OKAY!

A short 3-year $8,000 loan is costing me total $19,226. Contract didn't list that!? Scam. Confusing victimizing contract. Loan shark. Victimizes low income people. Contacted Attorney General. Now spending $1,000+ on a lawyer. VERY ANGRY!!!

I was pre-approved for a loan by Prosper - and immediately sent in all of the documents they requested - including bank account information, proof of income, and a copy of my driver's license. I had to email them because the Prosper website wouldn't upload my documents. I called customer service about the problem, and spoke with an agent who was completely clueless about what to do.

Prosper Loan told me they were going to help me. They directed me to get an EBAY gift card for $200. I then called them with gift card code. When I got home I got a call saying they didn’t get the money, so I called EBay and they said the card had been redeemed. I confronted them and they denied everything. I lost $200 and didn’t get my loan.

Easy application process. I used this service for my daughter's student loan. There have been no issues through the duration of the loan.

Prosper is a newer type of loan company called a peer-to-peer lender. Loans are funded by individual investors, as opposed to banks or other credit companies. Prosper itself does not actually fund any part of the loan. I found it to be a very simple process of filling out a very short form on a website, including how much money I wanted to borrow and how many months/years I wanted to pay it back. Once you submit the form, it somehow looks at your credit "picture" without actually pulling a credit report, and therefore not leaving an inquiry on your credit report. Once you accept the loan and the loan terms, Prosper does pull an actual credit report that will show as an inquiry. If all looks good the loan is put out to the investors and the investors decide whether or not they want to invest enough to fund your loan.

Great customer service. Excellent friendly staff. Very professional, start to finish. You are treated with the utmost respect makes you feel like one of their family members. I would definitely recommend it to someone else especially Google reviews.

Prosper is a peer-to-peer loan company. Individuals helped finance the loan. It was a quick and easy process. Funds were available within 5 business days of my application. I recommend it to anyone with good to great credit.

Prosper is my "Go To" for a loan. They have been there for me (3 times) since 2016. The application is quite simple and their customer service is knowledgeable, friendly and reliable. I would highly recommend Prosper.

I got a 60-month loan which ends this month. I was laid off in December 2019 and after my severance ran out, I requested help and they gave me a one-month deferment for March. They said it would be added to the end of the loan. I understood this to mean the loan would end in September, not August. Then the pandemic happened. I had automatic debit and they didn't take the April or May payments, and didn't show it as past due. I thought the pandemic had thrown them off and let it ride because I thought it would simply extend my monthly payments. The payments resumed in June.

I have two loans with them. The second one I took out I only had 1 payment left. And then in Feb 2020 I was affected by the covid virus pandemic!! Fix my account and update my 3 credit bureaus! Liars!!!!

During Covid19 I received a call from Prosper with some offers they were offering their customers. I accepted one of the settlement offers which is $443 a month. I have not missed a payment. Well every month they report to the credit bureau that I am past due. They are showing on my credit 90-119 past due when I have not missed a payment. So they offer you help on your left hand and screwing you on your right hand. I have 6 more payments to go. I will never get a loan or do business with Prosper. Just don't make since in a Pandemic. Why are they doing that to people - when everyone is just trying to survive.
