Brightlending Reviews 44

I would give them zero if I could! I do not recommend ANYONE go through them, or other companies like them. You'll get yourself in trouble.

I was irresponsible and ran up some credit card bills. Nothing that I couldn't pay off, I just hated having to pay three different bills at three different times during the month. So, I thought if I could get a loan big enough to pay off all three credit card bills, I would have one payment a month. That was the plan. However, getting someone to give me a loan is a different story. I do not have the best of credit because of my stupid decision so banks and credit unions were not willing to work with me. So, I was hoping that maybe a short term like loan might be able to help, with at least two of the bills (they are not big bills). In the past I have used another company, but could never get anymore than 1000, with a bi-weekly payment of no more than 60 dollars. I believe when all is said and done I pay back a little over 2500 dollars.

So, I started looking around at other places and came across Brightlending who said I was approved for a whole 600 dollars, with a bi-weekly payment of like 138 dollars for 20 payments! WHAT? The other company gave me twice as much with a payment that was half the payment! I would have ended up paying them back over 3000's dollar for 600 dollars. I was hoping to get help getting out of debt, not getting in more debt. Anyone who thinks that's a good deal, is in desperation. or not very smart.

These business can be very helpful but they are not. Instead they prey on those who need help and robs them of their hard earned money that they do not have, which is why they turned to getting short term loans. And I'm hoping some day in the future the government steps in and puts a cap to how much interests these company can charge cause 133% should be illegal. Actually, the government should not only step in and put at cap at like 19% across the board but also allow an action lawsuit for all of us who have been screwed by companies like this.

Currently dealing with these loan sharks.. Could i just not pay it someone reply please

they are terrible I having a issue with them now I paid them every week so last month I check around middle of month they say I owe them 500.00 dollars I was like ok I just paid them today they still say I owe them 537.00 listen I paid them every week then they tell me how it broke down no if you say I owe you 94.00 and I paid you ever week come on now and the just told me I be finished in July 26 that crazy I appreciate the help but I will not be doing anymore busy with this company at all just speaking from the heart.

I am very disappointed with this Company , I payed off my other loan they sent me emails saying I qualified for another loan lower interest and more funds , only to deny it " This is terrible the way they do their customers, shame on them , I will never do business with them ever again " ..They are also loan sharks , @nd greedy " ...Jah will hold you accountable " ...@men " ..

Save yourself the financial headache do not borrow from them, they are predatory lenders and with ridiculous rates. I borrowed $300 and noticed that not many of the payments I made were not being distributed toward the principal and only toward the interest, mind you I missed a payment, and the amount they put that I owed was double the actual loan amount, I borrowed, when I requested information on how the payments were being directed, they ignored my request. Please report this company to the Attorney General's office, CFPB, and FTC, the more these companies we report, the less likely these companies will exist and take advantage of consumers like us.

Very preditory and worth reporting them to FTC. They tried to approve me for $950 today with the pay back being 21 payments of $245. So they want over 5 grand paid back for 950. Never ever seen one this bad. I am currently in the middle of filing a report on this company.

What didn't go wrong with this lending company, first of all sly lending practicing they robb you blind, give you no breaks just take your money DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!!

Started getting unrelated spam/scam text messages as soon as filled out application. Company needs to be banned from doing business off Tribal Lands. They are nothing more than con artists preying on people during thier time of need. They expect people to provide them with your Bank name, routing number AND account number before you are even approved. I used a prepaid card account info, no way Im letting these scammers get my true bank info.

I traced the first scam text as far as I could and it originated outside of the USA, so they either are affiliated with outside of the country scammers or are selling our info to them. If yiu get any mail from them carefully tape it closed put return to sender and put in a mailbox.

Spread the word, don't let your friends or family get conned by these criminals. They are no different than a pick pocket who would steal your wallet. They hide behind being Tribal and on reservation land and use this to their advantage to con people when they are at their most vulnerable! Ridiculous!

This is a predatory company. Do not take money from them. They will ruin your life. Do not. I repeat. Do not take money from them. For $800 loan they ask you to repay a total of above $4000 over 22 months. This absolutely disgusting. And this is legal so do not try and fool yourself. Earn this money a different way. This is the HARD way not the easy way. Do not be conned. I hope you read this prior to committing. I'd lend you money on better terms lol. I've only ever asked for a $100 on top of what I lend you.

I was gonna get a loan with Brightlending. But after careful reviewing of the reviews I have decided that 500% APR is to much for me. So thanks for the reviews. You guys helped me dodge a bullet with this company.

This company is a scam please do not use Bright Lending I promise you will regret it. I paid back loan in less then 24hrs and they still took money from me even tho contract says no penalties if paid off early..SCAM!!!!!

Never get a loan from here just from experience. Customer service don’t explain anything well.

Not clear with their terms, and costumer service was awful. Wont recommend this company to people looking to lend. Find something else.

I have applied for a loan with this company and got approved , however they sent me a chase check that was fraudulent and was not real. When I went to try to cash the cashiers check the lady informed me that this check was not real and I need to put a block on my social security number

WHOEVER YOU ARE, DON'T DO IT. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. I applied for an application, used the email that was given to me to send my required documents over and somehow they're claiming they never received the documents. It's honestly ridiculous because I have used the email multiple times to get in touch with a representative but when it comes to my important documents, they never got them and can't explain to me what happened. So now I have worry about my sensitive information and where it could've went if they never got them but I used the email they gave me. I am beyond upset and the representatives I spoke to, couldn't help me or explain to me where it went.

This company is very outrageous. They give you a small loan and overly charged you I borrow $300 and had to pay over $1300 back I would never ever in life recommend this company to anyone. if I would have known what I know now they could’ve kept the $300.

Want FBI to have investigation on this company and will submit a claim to have that happen , they are a Peice of crap company got approved and no money in account on next business day and no customer service to talk to do not use this company it will ruin your life and your credit
I might have to pay for this with no money actually being in my account

I applied for a loan and I was approved in minutes. However, the interest rate was ridiculous! I borrowed $500 and had to pay over $2000 back. Thanks for the approval but I will never use this loan company again nor will I refer anyone.

This company gave a $1250 loan the first payment was like $542. It was paid off 7 weeks later and I owed $2200. I don't care how tough times are, this is illegal and a shame to tribes. Try empower, brigit lending(yes spelled that way).

Scam of an Indian tribal lending company. Outrageous rates and denials after they mail pre selection letters. U wonder why they charge 700% apr on loans which is over every state max. Welcome to tribal lending
