The loan was easy to get

The loan was easy to get! I paid it off and stayed in good standings with no late payments. When it was paid off they sent me email after email offering for me to get a new loan. I decided to get another one and GUESS WHAT!!!! I got denied! After staying in good standings and paying off the loan, I GOT DENIED! Waste of time being they check your credit but they sure don’t report to it!

Hi Jamie, thank you for reaching out, We are always here to help.

We are firmly committed to ensuring that our customers have a clear understanding of the fact that this is an expensive form of borrowing. As such, we make it a top priority to provide them with a comprehensive breakdown of our rates and terms, while also providing full disclosure on all fees associated with the loan well before originating the loan. Our goal is to ensure that our customers are fully informed and equipped to make informed decisions regarding their borrowing needs, while also fostering a culture of transparency and trust in all our dealings.

We strongly encourage our customers to take advantage of our no pre-payment penalty policy by paying off their loan early. Doing so will result in substantial savings on interest charges. Additionally, customers have the option to make additional payments towards the principal balance of the loan, which can help reduce the overall cost of borrowing. We believe that these options provide our customers with greater flexibility and control over their finances.

Reviewing your account, we see that we attempted to reach you to resolve this matter but were unsuccessful. Please feel free to contact us directly at feedback@rivervalleyloans.com or (833) 987-4837 at your earliest convenience so we may resolve this issue.

Thank you.

My experience with River Valley Loans

The representatives at River Valley Loans are always very helpful and courteous. They are patient in answering any questions and explaining anything you might not understand. That helped the loan process go very smoothly and I really appreciated that.

This company is highway robbery I am…

This company is highway robbery I am not going to pay 10 12 months of an outrageous monthly interest rate. They removed a payment before it was even time for me to make the first payment which caused me to have an overdraft fee. These five star reviews that they're getting are fake absolutely who gives five stars to any business it's usually 7 and 1/2 I don't know that it even goes higher than that. This company is under many many lawsuits that are in progress it is against the law what they are doing. They know it is there's nothing they can do if you do not pay them close your account get a new card number you do not have to pay these people they are a tribal loan company. They don't care about these one star reviews. They don't care that it can break you that you could lose everything they don't care they're getting their money if everybody will close their account it is against the law of what they're doing they cannot force you to pay open up a new account and kiss them goodbye erase them from your mind your vulnerability and don't kick yourself for applying for a loan don't beat yourself up they don't care. Like I said what they are doing is against the law and these attorneys are going after them and they're trying to shut them down. It says nothing in the application that you sign that your interest rate is going to be ungodly I know it didn't in mind they are falsifying information and they are going to take them down they are tribal loan companies get on the internet and review these tribal loan companies and what's going on to put them out of business have a great day don't beat yourself up because they are coming after them then maybe we can sleep better at night knowing that they won't get away with this much longer I've already notified an attorney and I'm not paying them the ungodly interest I never signed off on it and I'm not paying it they do lie lesson learned stay away from tribal loans

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Veronica! It’s great to hear the positive feedback. You are correct that this is an expensive form of borrowing. River Valley Loans, loans are designed to meet short-term borrowing needs and are not intended to be a long-term financial solution. There is no fee for paying the loan off early and many of our customers save a significant amount in fees when they pay the loan off early. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us any time at feedback@rivervalleyloans.com or at (833) 987-4837.

WARNING BE SURE TO REVIEW THE APR

WARNING BE SURE TO REVIEW THE APR. I have the funds to cover the loan amount of $700, I was just trying to build credit. My credit score is also 730, I also put a 30k car down as collateral. They had in small writing at the very bottom that the APR is 673%, totaling to around 4k for a 700 dollar loan.
