Thousands of Unwelcome Solicitations
I used Lendio to try to find unsecured loans for my business a few years ago. It is a decision I strongly wish I could take back. All of the offers I received from Lendio partners were predatory to the point of not being realistic options; I think the lowest interest rate I was offered was around 13%. But the worst part is that since submitting a simple, one-time inquiry to Lendio, I began receiving an incessant volume of spam calls and texts (many of which are obvious scams) to the point where my phone number is now almost unusable. I get 2-3 phone calls and 3-4 text messages PER DAY from people trying to offer me massive loans, and even though I block every single one of them it does nothing to reduce the frequency. I get calls even in the middle of the night. I can't prove a direct link between my inquiry to Lendio and the spam calls, but they started almost immediately after my inquiry to Lendio and have continued at a horrific pace for two years since. They are showing no sign of slowing down, and I am seriously having to consider changing my phone number. In my opinion, no loan, and no product on earth, is worth this kind of harassment.
