Smells like a SCAM.
A $490 fee is 10%!!
They say its collateral and once paid I won't have to pay my monthly fee until September because this $490 will be applied until than?Quote:

I doubt that you will ever see the 5K that claims to be in business since 2002 and has clients worldwide, yet I can find no reviews of them at all. That usually means they just started, and probably start anew every few months under new names.
They are based in Jamaica. Who will you complain to when you lose your fee?
I just looked at their lovely web site. What interest rate would you be paying?
11%Quote:

The good thing is their giving me 3 yrs to pay it back and that sounds so good and temptingQuote:

They even sent me a contract but and it explains some or If not all in there but I'm just not comfortable with the advance collateral fee but like I said feel free to try it and PLEASE let me know the results ASAPQuote:

So you want one of us to try it? You are saying we need to apply for a loan through them and let you know how it goes? Yeah, I don't think so.Quote:

Paying money to get money is a red flag.
If you miss a payment, the usual thing they do is increase the interest rate. Is that mentioned in your contract?
Like J_9 said, having to pay money to get the loan is a huge red flag.
All I know is I will be paying like a monthly fee of $164 so what about an 11% annual rate and after three yrs I would have only paid almost $900. This sounds too good to be true rightQuote:

LISTEN: When you can find absolutely nothing online about an online company other than what they wrote themselves, chances are it's a brand new fly-by-night shady deal.
Did you read their testimonials? They all have similar misspellings!
No I'm not saying for you to apply for a loan. But you as the expert I think would be better suited for the investigative legwork. Yes you go through the process just talking to them and being the expert you would know what to say and expect to hear back if their legit and if their replies aren't true to form than as the expert your red flags would be popping up compared to my naïve who don't know any better. This would solve all questions or give more weight to your expertise wouldn't it instead of just assumingQuote:

So I had to resort to payday loans and all this bs. And the urgent reason just so you know is that my nephew who is only 22 has colon cancer. He just had surgery about a week ago now and though they got most its not all. He has to go to some cancer center in Chicago to do radiation crap. They live in North Carolina I live in Minnesota this urgent need is so that I can at least try to help because money is short and times are going to be very tough for my brother and nephew these coming months. I make $2000 a month not much but that can definitely cover this $3000 debt I am in and what I hoped would be a minimal $5000 loan but obviously not in these days and times. I guess I have to be more in debt before the banks give me more loan. I sound desperate and Mad because I am😁 not at you guys but just life and well you all know how it is and how in the blink of an eye it can just all snowball for good or bad on you.Quote:

We are a Q&A site... to help people answer questions they may have... not to investigate claims for free.
The claims though seem a little crazy. 11% interest... $490 up front... $164 a month for 36 months. That works out to $5904 + the $490... hardly seems right from an online company that is giving a loan to someone with bad or no credit at all. I sell cars... usually no credit/bad credit loans go for over 24% interest... so this all seems "too good to be true" like they are trying to suck you in.
I have no credit so bad credit and already they chance on me wit a. $1000 loan 6 months ago which I been taking my good ol time to pay back only for the purpose to build my credit. Now that I actually need the money their useless and good for nothing. Which led me to payday loans who kill me on interest leading me to my 2300 debt. But it's nothing I can't pay off wit my job right now. It's just that right now now I need that loan n can't get it but thanks for the suggestionQuote:

Ask yourself have you helped answer my question? And than ask yourself why are you on here to "help people answer questions" you know nothing of? But don't want to find out because nothing is free😁 thanks for your great input though seriously and your time.Quote:

Get the loan if you want... I'm sure you'll do great.
I'm done here.
I did my best for you. I examined their site and what they said, I checked into loans and amortization tables on the Internet, and I called my bank to find out what their rates would be. And I told you my conclusion is "no" for this loan.Quote:

Sorry that you think in trying to insult you or any of you guys in here. Guess you didn't understand me too well. In just pointing out facts in black and white. I came here for help whether in advice or knowledge and again like you told you if u read it I thank you for your input. If u feel offended than that's your guilt not mine because I didn't intend to or purpose do it and if I did offend you than grow up this the world we live in. Nothing is free and you get what your worth.Quote:

He had no money. None, zilch. He had been a student but had dropped out because he didn't feel well. He made a living with a van, moving students.
I spent my spare time writing to his creditors, telling them so, and pleading for them to stop billing because it was so upsetting to him. They all stopped.
Good luck. Please don't borrow money. Get the word out to the community that he needs to get to Chicago. I hope his family is too. You are too broke to be doing this.
Hospitals have Pell grants and financial aid and financial plans. You are going about this all wrong.
As for what a lot of us know: I know that countless people have come to this site to say that they paid the 'collateral fee' and never saw a dime of the loan. I saw enough of this company's site and lack of information about them elsewhere to see that they are can't be trusted.
Thanks I will tell themQuote:

Thanks again for your time and story. I know that my nephew already went through surgery and they cut whatever they had to out already but they said there's still some minuscule stuff left that they couldn't risk getting or something so he will have to go do serious radiation treatment etc. hope technology and knowledge in these days and times will save him.Quote:

They do actually answer when I call, and are saying they have been overwhelmed with applicants (yeah right!).. so now I'm suppose to have the money by Friday!
Anyhow... AFTER the fact, I've been doing some more research. The contract that I was sent from them, had an attachment of the "bond" company that they supposedly use. I researched the company, and they ARE legit.. so I emailed them and attached the letter that Wynn and associates had sent me with THEIR information on it... I received an email back immediately saying that they were, in no way, associated with Wynn and associates and that they reported it fraudulant and even gave me the fraud case number.
I'm sure I will not get the 491 back... so it was a very HARD lesson for me.
