As with everyone else I was offered the loan but needed either a cosigner or 450 collateral. My sister had recently committed suicide so at this point I was desperate. I sent the initial 450. After verify the payme t the woman Joanne Allen contacted me and stated the lender pulled my credit and due to my score needed an additional 450 . Advised I did not have that . I was put on hold and them told they can assist with some of it . So I sent the rest as desperately as ineeded it . This was also all I had left to my name. After sending. That I was called again and told I needed to pay 500.00 for insurance . At this point I advised wanted to withdrawal and get a refund . Ws told that was fine but could take 25-45 business days . Which of course was not acceptable. So. Kcalled and after speaking again was told about 2 weeks . So ok that was better . I asked for documentation of the refund and never received it . I called today and spoke to Joanne yet again . She advised to call custsmr service . They never answered. Now the number is disconnected. .

They offered me $5,000 loan with a co signer or $450 collateral. I did some research on the phone and address and the phone number is not a US or Canada number. I called the manager of the office building at the given address and she there is no company at that address.
