I applied for the loan and was told I was approved. Took them almost 3 weeks to pay me. They assured me they would not take my 1st payment out before then, but the day they finally put the money in my account they were already removing my first payment. When I called and spoke to people the first few times no one told me there were issues, just to call back if I don't get the money in my account by a certain day. The supervisor I spoke with then told me there was a known issue with paperwork the day I was approved, and they were working on it but she didn't know when I would get my funds. Thankfully I didn't have any emergencies going on where I needed this money. I am fairly sure had I not been trying to contact someone so much I'd still be waiting for my funds and paying on them even though I hadn't received them yet.

Credit 740 got a pretty high rate.
Super high origination fee.
Refinance within 2 months with another company no origination fee and almost half the rate make sure you guys shop around and double check origination fees.

They responded very quickly and the process was smooth and easy to get through. I would definitely recommend them.

This is the 3rd time we have used Happy Money. Before you judge, life throws life at you. Happy Money has allowed us to reorganize finances while saving us a bunch of money and a lot of stress. We used them to allow us a credit bump when we needed a grad school student loan. We used them to reorganize debt after being forced to move twice and while dealing with medical expenses. The application and process were quick and easy. The terms and payment were and are more than satisfactory. Hopefully this is the last time, but so glad they are here if and when we need them.

They will lie to you and tell you that you will get an Amazon gift card, but you never get it. I clicked my husband’s link and got approved for a loan, then my husband and I were both supposed to get $200 gift cards and they never sent them. Claimed we didn't qualify for them. Now they changed it to $100 gift cards, but good luck getting it. I refinanced with another company.
