I had been looking for some type of company to help out with a small loan. I got sick and was out of work for a bit, the bills piled up, I was taking out payday loans to make ends meet.

Certified Lendings Group contacted me and said that they could offer me a secured loan for the $7500 I needed; secured meaning I need to send them the first five months payments which totalled $1150.

I became a little suspicious and started asking a lot of questions, they answered the questions fine, all the time ensuring me that as soon as they received the funds, the funds would be released to me by 3pm the next business day.

I waited, the funds never came. I called they said the lender exercised the right to assess my file again and is requiring an additional $1150 in order to proceed with the loan. I refused and asked for a refund, the customer service agent said that I would have it back by Friday of the next week and hung up on me. I tried calling again, and was hung up on again. On the third call, I told them I knew they were screening my calls, but again left the message that I wanted my refund by the next Friday per my conversation with customer service.

I have no received my refund, I am also looking for a lawyer that would be interested in reviewing my situation.

No matter how desperate you are, DO NOT use this 'Company'
They will rip you off too!!

There is help out there!

http://www.badcreditloanwarning.com/

I was contacted by Certified Lending Group Monday May 12th. I was contacted by a Robert Miller ext 129. He informed me that I was approved for a loan amount of 35,000 and needed to verify a few details. Robert then proceeded to tell me that the private lender that was backing the loan required collateral to secure the loan. Robert emailed me a promisorry note containing the terms and conditions of the loan and repayment. After reviewing, I faxed it back. I was then instructed to send a money gram in the amount of $2,100 to secure the loan to a Arnold McKiney in Oakville, Ontario Canada. Money Gram Order Confirm: 87782263 I proceeded to then call back Certified Lendings Group customer service and relayed the confirmation number on to them so they could release the funds into my bank account via direct deposit.

The next morning, the funds were not deposited. I called Robert Thursday May 15th, 2008, and he advised to contact customer service. I did so, learning that an additional colatteral payment was required to secure the loan proceeds within 4 hours. Again, I transacted a Money Order Payment to an Arnold McKinley in Oakville, ON Canada. Confirmation 61156023.

Friday May 16th, 2008, I called Certified Lendings Groups cusotmer service, informing them that my direct deposit had not occurred. I was informed that I was entitled to a refund due to the additional closing costs required by the lender and would have it by no later than May 30th, 2008

I found no funds had been deposited into my account. I then found the Better Business Bureau of Maryland, and learned this was a known fraudulent company.

Thank You
