Casey M was awesome & very helpful. Not too happy about the origination fee. I'm paying interest on that money also, even tho I never received it. Could've used that money for extra bills.

I'd rather get a loan from Tont Soprano. Watch out for these loan sharks. All I did was click on a link from Trans Union about consolidation loans, and the next thing I knew, I received a call from "Charles" from Freedom Plus, who said that I filled out an application, which I never did. The next day, he called me back and "officially" took my application and then wanted to pull my credit. I asked him what the loan payments would be for the loan I wanted, based on the the worst case scenario, the highest interest rate they charge, and he couldn't tell me...or should I say he wouldn't. I then told him that I wanted to think it over, and told him not to pull my credit yet, and he basically hung up on me. After doing some reasearch, I found out that there is an origination fee on the loan which he FAILED to disclose, of up to 5% of the loan. For the $35,000 loan I was looking at, this could be up to $1,750. He also FAILED to disclose that they pay the lenders from the proceeds of the loan directly. I contacted him about this, and he said that they disclose the origination fee AFTER the application is complete and my credit is pulled. That's BULL. I wrote him back and told him to close the application and never contact me again. He was extremely rude and arrogant throughout the process, because I dared to ask probing questions which he did not want to answer until they pulled my credit and I was at their mercy. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!

I started out with Great Service! Everything was going fine and then the wrong company was paid and my bill was not! I paid the bill to avoid further charges and was told these funds would be deposited into my account. Never happened. I am out over $450.00 and no one can seem to help me. I keep being told someone will call me back, but no one calls.

The customer service is great, until you call with an issue. I had a few urgent things come up financially. I called Freedom Plus/Financial to have my withdrawal date temporarily changed for one month (for a later deduction date). I was advised during the first call I made, that my request was submitted. I called the next day to make sure everything was in order, I was told the date was changed and all is well. Two days later, the payment that was supposed to come out at a later date, was withdrawn from my bank account. I called their customer service again (for the third time) and was given an apology and I was told to email screenshot of the money being withdrawn from my bank account. I complied, and I was told that the refund request was given to a supervisor for approval. I was also told that the funds would be back in my bank account by the end of the business day, no later than the next day. Well, the next day came and the money wasn't returned (this was a Thursday). So, I called customer service again (4th time/Friday morning), spoke to a representative that told me a supervisor never approved the refund. She said she put through a request, I explained that I didn't trust that, seeing I've been lied to since day one. I asked the rep, who governs them (government agency), she said she didn't know. I told her to put me on hold and go ask her leadership. She came back to the line and told me that no one governs them and that they are just a load servicing company that works for a group of investors that are associated with Cross River Bank. The representative became frustrated with me and I ended the call. I called back later on Friday afternoon (the same day), to check to see if the request had been approved, and it hadn't. I was also instructed, that refunds don't occur the same day, like I was advised the day prior. I was told that the request was forwarded over, the money would be refunded in 1-2 business days. I asked the representative for the names of the previous reps I spoke to and the dates and times they show that these conversations occurred, to compare them to my records. She laughed at me, and when I asked her what was so funny, she said that me asking for all this info. I then told her, that this situation isn't funny and I explained to her the poor customer service I have received, the misinformation given, the lack of action on their behalf and the financial, etc. impact of all of this. I then asked her again, what was so funny…she told me she had nothing else to say and she became very rude as well as dismissive-which she started exhibiting this behavior earlier on in the conversation, but it became more apparent towards the end. This is the worse company I have ever dealt with! The way I have been treated and the information on who Freedom Plus/Financial really is…is all the reason I need to file every charge and complaint about this company that I can. To warn others and helping them avoid doing business with these, lying, cheating over charging, unprofessional people!

I was just informed by a customer service rep, that "There is a $15 processing fee for all payments made from your bank. We unfortunately do not participate in bill-pay." I think it's absurd that you are going to charge me to give you money. I realize that I can go online to make an extra payment, but the beauty of bill-pay is that I can set up a reoccurring payment and not have to worry about logging into your website every time and entering in all the information every time. I'm shocked that it's the year 2017 and Freedom Plus "unfortunately doesn't participate in bill-pay" .....seriously.....

I took out a 10,000 dollar loan in August 2016. Really it was 9500 and they took 500 for a loan fee. I made my payments thur autopay. So by February2017 i paid $2,250, and i still owed 9,300 so . i call to get the payoff amount and asked if i payed it off would you still take out my auto payment. They said no sir we will not as long as you pay it by this day, so i payed it off by that day and budget my other bills around having that extra 330 dollars, so they took my payment anyways. I called up to complain and the customer service person stated they refuned my money and i should have it in 2 to 3 bussiness days.... Well its been 9 days and i called back up and they said you will get it by the 14th. It takes 2 weeks... Now i have 3 late fees from other bills because of this. And they are collecting more interest off of my money.

I've never worked with a company that when you make a payment early, they still take out your scheduled payment and end up charging you twice..... when I call to have them just apply the 2nd payment to my next month's bill they say there's no way they can't do it. The customer service person I spoke too did not care at all and made zero attempt to Fix the issue. She offered no apology or anything and tried to blame me for the issue. How is it the customers fault that when they pay their bill early they then get charged twice?? At least I know not to refer anyone to this company ever because they show zero concern about their customers.

I called the next day after signing the contract to cancel the process for a personal loan because I did not feel comfortable with the payment and I was told during the loan application process the the funding would take 2 to 3 days and that the payment to creditors could be up to 7. I called in and one person told me I was on time and the others told me it was funded and nothing could be done. I was a little frustrated at the end of the call and I said "Man" like I couldn't believe it I couldn't cancel. the customer service person did not notice she said on and started laughing and making comments about why I probably wanted to cancel. i cant believe that overnight they did everything. This is really going to put me in a difficult situation!!

This is the worse company I saw in my lifetime, they take advantage of the desperate need of a financial situation, 5 months ago I got approved for a loan for 15k with an interest of almost 27% and I don't have a bad credit, but when I realized the interest I told the agent that I did not want it under those conditions and he said it was already approved and down the road we could revisit and see if they could lower the interest, I paid for 5 months $453.00 and I recently got a loan from my TDB at a 9% interest, and when I got the payoff it was @14,992 after 5 months of payment of $453.00 what a rip- off .

Its funny to see these reviews from people with "new" loans from freedom. let me warn you now this "loan "company is the biggest rip-off I've ever had to deal with. thank god my loan with this place has been paid off. every aspect of this place just screams waste my money. if anyone is thinking of getting a loan here please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. I regret ever pulling the trigger and getting a loan here. I learned a very expensive lesson. if you want to waste thousands of dollars this is the place to do it. once you "new" folks see how things operate here you will change your opinion, I guarantee it.

I started in May I believe to refinance my home. Joseph was the first person I spoke with at your company. I thought I was done with my part of getting you papers, signing papers, etc. Well, someone dropped the ball after they spoke with a lady in the HR department of my work. So, I called Joseph again and asked what is going on. Well, again, (like a fool) I fell for Carly telling me everything is going well. Then I am supposed to send her certain papers and I did. Well, she never received them. Then on last Friday she said she was going to send me an overnight mailer so I could send my papers back. It is now Monday evening and I still have NOT received the mailer. I called her this morning to tell her and she never returned my call. Then I get a message from some guy named Ryan who is helping Carly today. No response on the message I left her or about the mailer. So, I get home tonight, and some gentleman is on the phone wanting a 3 party conference about my loan. The whole time I have EVER spoke with Joseph and Carly has been on my cell phone. Those are the numbers I have used. Why call me on my house phone when you have my cell number. I am a very nice person whom is normally very patient., but this is going on far to long and I my patience are becoming thin. May I just refinance on my loan and be over it already. I have taken ownership of the wrong doings on my end, I just want to get this over. Please have someone who knows what is going on call me and treat me like I matter instead of when you feel like calling me back. Thank you. Suzanne Osenbaugh

This is the worst lending company I have dealt with. The loan specialist knew how I was going to be repaying the loan. However he didn't tell me that I would be Charged $15.00 per check that I sent in. Even the second rep that called to confirm everything said nothing about charges for paying back the loan in the traditional manner. In speaking with legal representation the word used was "shoddy" practices of this company. I would not recommend them to anyone. As with other financial companies that inform you verbally of all charges and fees because of the Truth in Lending Act these guys somehow get around it so be sure and read EVERY little bit of your contract.

There was no problem with the customer service who I talked with on the phone. But I definitely think there should be a policy in place which allows customers to make early payments that would be deducted from there scheduled monthly payment. I get paid weekly and it would help me budget if I could put a little on the bill when I have a few dollars to spare and don't want to spend it friviously.

Very sketchy operations. My interactions with FreedomPlus came after applying for a signature loan from LendingTree. Within 30 seconds of submitting an application, I received a high-pressure phone call from FreedomPlus that insinuated that they were the only company that would give us a loan. They jumped around, but it ended up being a very high APR rate, especially for my 800+ FICO. I declined and went on my way, but continued to receive phone calls and emails. I eventually got the phone calls to stop, but not the emails. The "unsubscribe" link in every email is broken, so you cannot stop them. The company is unable to fix it; I've had to create an email rule to just automatically delete all FreedomPlus emails.

Concerned Consumer Chicago, IL

The loan officer quoted me a rate in a whole number leaving off the ".99%" which essentially makes the true rate nearly 1 full percentage point higher. He repeatedly quoted the whole number and the additional percent was not discovered until it was time to sign the contract. Not happy about that. When confronted the loan officer tells me he always "forgets" about the percentage and will try to remember going forward. However the loan officer was professional throughout the process. Then I have a woman from their customer service department hounding me to confirm my address after the loan process was completed and leaves a message that I have fraud on my account and I need to call immediately, She then proceeds to tell me its company policy to tell customers that they have fraud on their account so they will call back faster. Great practices! Leaving off information of the rate, scaring people in phone messages with concerns of fraud. I will never do business with them again.
