oh Geez where do i start??? oh Geez where do i start??? First off I have been a Loanbuilder customer since 2013, my very first loan. Everything went great, it was there when i needed it everything worked like a clock. Even through Covid, this company helped and I never missed a payment, EVER. Fast forward 12 Successful loans later almost 10 years. I re apply for my 6 month re up...i get a RED light denial. I ask why, they cant tell me, they give me some BS reason that my financials are in the worst shape they've ever been in? The response was not something a computer would generate this was a human entry. I go check my scores 720,719, 706 100 % on time payments, 3% credit ulitization score, Low credit to debt ratios across the board, I own all of my inventory, i dont owe anyone. I ask them about it, and they tell me Experian Business Credit says im a bad risk. I call my accountant, we go online and check with Experian Business Credit, both of us GET TWO SEPARATE REPORTS at different times. Both reports read LOW RISK score of 79 on a scale of 1-100. the financial Stability Risk rating on a scale of 1-5 1 being perfect 5 being poor, I get a 1, with a .55% chance that I'm going to have severe financial Risk over the next 12 months. We call Experian Business Credit and mind you getting this report is not free it cost both of us $189 each... The person we get on the phone on a conference call, verifies all of my information, and even is surprised when I tell him that I was declined and that the company I've had 12 successful loans with has declined my app. He says there's no reason why you would be declined that he can see on my end. Have them call us and we will verify this. I not only heard this from Experian Biz Credit, I also heard the same thing from Equifax and Transunion both of them offering to call and verify my good standing. These were not cold calls to a representative they were to supervisors at a third level call. Scale back to Loanbuilder, my rep Seth Miller, advances the call to an Allyson Nieme, his boss. I explain the whole situation to her who initially says, sorry nothing we can do until I say, I'm not stopping here I need to speak to your boss. She contacts him, and the very next day, I'm given a new link to apply to. I go and apply and low and behold all of a sudden I get to the next step. It asks me for additional information, which are the last 4 months of bank statements which I know are good my biz was 28% over last years in sales. I get Seth on the phone he tells me I am PRE APPROVED for $100,000 loan and that he can probably get me MORE than that based on my previous loan excellent history. He even gives me my weekly payment and the weeks I'd be paying and asks me verify questions on a recorded line. He tells me I am all set and it goes to underwriting and that it should take about a day. I go on the Loan builder portal, and mind you I've got Progress pictures of everything as we proceed. The loan is already loaded into my profile with a lower amount of $77,000 with another new payment amount and a starting date. I call Allyson to ask why and she says to wait for Seth to review it and hell get back to me, He does and asks for additonal info on clearing another old loan from someone else and I did and it was paid off 7 months prior to ZERO balance he says were all good. Weekend go by, no contact I call on Monday and he says he has no news to try tomorrow he'll call me. No call, I don't bother him, thinking they have a back load. Tuesday i call and he says he's heard nothing and that the Underwriting Dept is in India and they have limited resources and the time difference. I'm sorry, India? what happened to hiring staff in the United States and giving people jobs here in such an important decision relating to someone else's business, I think that's important to the US dont you? So instead of really digging into this and doing due diligence and looking at customer's prior excellent payment history, you're giving that decision to a person in India 8000 miles away to decide if a small business gets to continue his dream? Still no answer from Seth or Allyson and I have to do all the leg work here. I get an email from Loanbuilder with an entirely diff excuse as to why I was declined. Knowing that this was going to happen the night before I go online and search about Loanbuilder, and my specific scenario, guess what I'm not the only one with the same exact situation. I do a little more digging and I find an applicant with a very similar situation to me and I send a message.The person gets back to me but they also say that None of the scoring values that loanbuilder had for them, matched what the actual ones were. That person did all the back checking and calling the bureaus as well. My attorney is moving forward with this and will lead to discovery of more of the same and a class action lawsuit. Unlawful credit practices is the deal and we are filing. Approve the loan

Horrible Relationship Manager Used Loanbuilder for multiple loans totaling $250k. Never had an issue paying back, never had an issue borrowing. Now all of a sudden they're loan service is based strictly on receipts. My business isn't some storefront, its a construction consulting business that receives milestone payments. Their "relationship" manager Fredie Jara is a jerkoff who doesn't care one way or another about your past history with loanbuilder.

Be Careful with the Customer Service Reps The process was great, and they worked with us while we were struggling. However, we couldn't make payments for a while and we called to turn on payments several weeks before the loan would charge off. The agent said it was done, however it wasn't done. Now it charged off and we will be penalized even more. When I called for help I got no where and no explanation why it wasn't turned on

Don't trust fake reviews. This is typical financial company focused on positive reviews ( 'influencers' write a tons of lies about them, making dozens of fake reviews on website like this one ) . The fact is this is rather scam than financial institution. Their sales guys are similar to used car dealership staff , who want you sell a lemon. NOTHING what they say is the truth. You may expect APR at $25-30% ( yes ! despite what they promise ) , you cannot pay off the loan earlier. The person who leaded you to sing the contract immediately is unavailable. Do yourself a favor : STAY AWAY ! Despite what you can read on PAID website, tis is the most untrusted service I gave experienced while I'm 40 years in business.
