Springleaf

So I needed to borrow some cash and I was searching around online and I saw a website for a low interest personal loan up to $ 30,000.00. I filled out the fields and was directed to Springleaf Financial’s website. The next day I received a call from someone who wanted to go over the application with me. Now, I do not have horrible credit but it’s not the best. I know primo treatment is given to those 700 and above and mine hovers right around 630 so I knew I wasn’t going to get the best interest rate. I explained to the woman that I needed $ 7,000.00 for some unforeseen expenses. After she was finished going through my application she said that she would call me back later that day with an answer. Well, I never received a call. The next day came, and no call. The day after that… no call. Finally I called back and left a message. Finally, on Friday (5 days later) I received a phone call. She stated that they could lend me $ 5,999.00 (not the amount I was asking for) but I’d have to put my car up as collateral and the interest rate is over 30%! What!!! 30% interest WITH collateral?! I’m sorry, but that’s loan shark territory. I chuckled at the offer and she said to call them back if I want to move forward. Ummm, yeah, no thanks!
My advice: avoid these crooks!
