Rob, was excellent. Welcome me through every step of what was happening and how everything goes with above lending. I was very impressed with his ability to walk me through each step. Thank you all for everything Geraldine Carter.
The representative was friendly, very patient, and knowledgeable. He helped me a lot.
Patrick was very helpful in the process!
This one star review is for the fact that when I was talking to Mohammed or Muhammed, he was very keen to sell me on the loan explaining that there was a one time fee on the loan. Two or 3 days later i logged back in to see my account and saw my loan had increased. I called customer service to ask the reason, they then explained that there was daily interest on the loan. If mohammed would of explained this I would have never signed up for this loan. Its always about the lies and never been truthful and honest with customers. If I could give zero stars I would.
Hi Sal, Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We know how important it is to clearly understand the terms of a loan before making a financial decision, and we want every customer to feel informed and supported throughout the process. Above Lending loans are designed to help customers complete their debt resolution programs sooner. They use simple interest, which means interest accrues daily based on the remaining principal balance. This is separate from the one-time origination fee. The loan agreement outlines the interest rate, estimated finance charge, origination fee, and payment terms so customers can review the full cost of the loan before accepting. A major benefit of an Above Lending loan is the flexibility to pay more whenever you are able, with no prepayment penalties. Additional payments can reduce the principal balance faster, which can help lower the total interest paid and shorten the time needed to repay the loan. Our team is here to support you and would be happy to review your loan terms or answer any questions. Please feel free to reach out to us at (800) 201-2295 or [email protected]. - The Above Lending Team
The representative was very understanding and caring. He took the time to listen and i was not rushed through the process. It was a great experience.
Marissa was extremely helpful! She was patient, kind and helped me through the entire process and ensured I understood everything I needed to for my loan. I appreciate that we were able to have a natural and human conversation and she was a joy to talk with!
Agent was very effective in explaining the offer. Agent was patient guiding me through the process. The loan is meaningful, allowing customers to achieve their goals in fewer time.
They reached out to me convincing me to apply because my payment history with their debt consolidation program is so good and said I’m pre-approved for my consolidation amount only to get denied! I’m still waiting on the explanation but I think it was really messed up of them to contact me and tease me in the first place when I would have been fine without it but now I’m disappointed. Just very messed up.
Hi Krystalynn, We’re sorry to hear how disappointing this experience was, especially after receiving an invitation to apply. For clarity, a pre-approval is not a guarantee of final approval, as eligibility is determined after reviewing several factors during the full application process. We understand how frustrating that can feel when the final decision does not match your expectations. Please know that the application did not affect your credit score, and you should receive additional information explaining the decision. We also encourage you to look out for a future invitation to reapply, as eligibility may change over time. Please feel free to reach out to us at (800) 201-2295 or [email protected] if you have any questions. - The Above Lending Team
