They charge 667% interest

They charge 667% interest. Yes, hundreds. That’s not the first thing you see on your terms either and they don’t care to mention it. In two months for a $1200 loan I paid them $1,600 and called to see where I was at yesterday and 0 of it went to the principal. This is criminal.

Hi Sierra, 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.

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.

If your going through hardship this is not the company for you …

Update: I received a email stating River valley replied to my comment so I called them and again they couldn’t help me so I stand on what I said first on here ………………………………….I have reached out I am going through financial hardship I have got my payment lowered and a. Deferment I will have to file bankruptcy . I was trying to continue to making my payments but was asking for the interest to be knocked off so I’m not inncontinus debt through the next year all the other company’s worked with me and are allowing me to only pay back what I borrowed except this company . I have called and they won’t budge . So if you’re ever in a bind don’t count on this company to help very much . I will now have to file and will be going to my attorney general .
