I took out a loan from Lendingclub.com to try out their system. I found two issues I'd like to report.

1) The amount of money deposited in my bank account has a 5% fee taken from it by the company. I've taken personal loans before from my bank, and I've never seen this kind of a fee. This is non-refundable. I consider this a hidden fee because it was not clear during the loan application process that this 5% fee would be deducted.

2) Although they promise I can pre-pay without penalty, in fact they would not schedule additional loan payments until at least one payment had been processed. It takes one month for the first payment to come due, and one week for the payment to be processed. In this way, they are sure to accumulte 5 weeks of interest whether I want to pay my loan or not.

Based on this experience, I consider taking a loan from lendingclub.com to be a ripoff.

More hidden fees!

AUTHOR: wishingwell - ()

POSTED: Thursday, September 19, 2013

So I finally went to pay off this loan after waiting the period required by the company. They charged me for a second month's interest! The lady on the phone tried to explain "it's because we compound monthly" but I assured her monthly compounding was for time passed - they were pre-charging me for the future month, or at the very least collecting some kind of fee.

All in all, they financed me $16,000, gave me only $15,200, forced me to wait a month accruing a $408 monthly charge, then I had to repay $16,075! They netted about $1.2K and wouldn't even let me repay early as I wanted. Based on my experience with this company, I'll never borrow money from them again in my life.
