Be pro-active. You are thinking right. No legit loan company will ask for an upfront fee before giving out the loan. Any fees that are to be charged will be first mentioned in the agreement copy and only after the loan is deposited in your account. It should also ring a bell when they are not publishing their phone number. Sounds fishy!

Yes, stay away from them. It is very suspicious if they don't have a phone number to be contacted. It would appear as if they have something to hide, if they don't have a phone number. You should try Prosper for a loan. I got my loan with them funded after a month of listing, so not too bad. They do take out a fee after your loan funds, so YOU don't pay them upfront. I think the fee is like 1% of the loan, so really, really decent.

Thanks for the input. I am very suspicious of them because of the pager number and the lack of a main office number. Not to mention I went to the BBB and did a search and could not find a rating or any kind of a report about them. I am definitely going to stay away. I don't understand this whole thing about a fee up front. I thought that most loans were secured with "stuff" like cars or houses.

Yes, be wary of anything that asks for money up front. That usually signifies a scam as they can take that money and not give you what they promised.

Any bank would give you a loan that was secured, I know I've tried, and I've only got a car that isn't even close to being paid off so I was denied. A lot of places are trying the unsecured, like the payday loans, where as the traditional unsecured money (like credit cards) are begining to show up as secured. Its kind of a funny switch.

As for anything that asks for money up front be wary. And also make sure you read the fine print on anything that is for 'free' sometimes it is a free trail and then they charge you later.

I fell you need to keep what you have before you lose what you have. I have never seen were you have to pay for loan, on top of that there's is no contact number.I have heard the add on hot105 FM I wounder if they know.
Keep what you have dont lose it.

1 NO NUMBER
2 WANT MONEY
3 WEBSITE DON'T WORK
4 NO CONTACT at ALL.

When you're offered a loan but they want a fee up front, run. Fast.

YEP........agreeable on ALL of the advice, on this thread. Anyone that asks for a 'fee' for a loan, is not legit. No matter if it sound good to you. Ya know how the saying goes ( I'm sure ). "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is." Whatever debt you may have, keep paying on it. This will bring your score up. If you DO apply for a loan, the company will ( I'm assuming..) check your credit. In this case, your Credit score will go down, a bit, for the 'inquiry'. Hope this helps a bit.
