The money was immediate when I needed it but the events that followed was unbelievable!! I have paid back the amount I owe and a lot more as of January 2024 and I’m still being charged over a hundred dollars every two weeks from Uncle Warbucks! Payment today was $164 which is a third of what I owe. Last payments were over a hundred dollars and over $200 dollars and I’m still having to pay till August!! Unbelievable!! I’ll never use this company again for a payday loan!! Biggest mistake I ever made!!Uncle Warbucks Response

I sent an email today wanting to pay my account off that works for me best at this point and was told no. So now will be handling it a different way. Times are tuff and they don't want to work with me. Once it's paid off I'm done with them.Uncle Warbucks Response

Thank you for contacting us, We reviewed the account i question, we do see that the payment frequency on the loan would have been different that what was requested. This does at times make things more complicated. That being said, we would be happy to work at resolving the issue in a way that works well for both parties. OperationsReview from valerie g

Whatever you do do not get a loan from this company! Getting a loan from Uncle Warbucks is the worst decision I have made in my life. I borrowed $600 and now have to pay back $2427.00. So far I have paid $960.00. I tried to pay the loan off early today to get it closed but they said to do so I need to pay $678.00. Please don't get a loan from this company unless there is no other option but be aware. This company will put you in a much worse position than you were in the first place. It's not worth it!Uncle Warbucks Response

Thank you for reaching out to us. We strive to clearly explain all payments and rule to all clients before originating a loan. Either on a phone call or written in the loan documents. That being said, we are always willing to help as best as possible. We ask that the client contact us so that we can work out an arrangement that works for both parties.

If you ah e any other choice, explore that option!! This company preys on people that are out of options and desperate. You actually pay more than 4x what you’ve borrowed. It’s such a ripoff! I hate that their are companies that are allowed to prey on people.Uncle Warbucks Response

Scam. Stay way from this company. I was told I was approved for a loan, they took my bank info (account #, routing and debit card#) then reached out to my bank on a 3 way call and asked me to authorize Uncle Warbucks to receive private information. They abrubtly ended the call to tell me I was not approved to move forward. I called my bank to make to deauthorize their access and was told there was already an attempt made by Uncle Warbucks to access my account but I called in time for them to decline the transaction.Uncle Warbucks Response

Uncle Warbucks are liars, thieves, harassers, and stalkers!!! Do NOT EVER borrow from them! It's a trap!!! They keep claiming I'm behind on my payments, yet my bank account shows that they have taken MORE than what they claimed in the loan agreement, and more often than they agreed to!! When I try to contact them about it, I just get a run-around!!! They are liars, thieves, harassers, and stalkers!!!Uncle Warbucks Response

Be very careful! On the first payment they took payment from the WRONG account!! Then they took payments out weekly when I specifically advised I get paid biweekly. I contacted them to ask what happened and they said I marked down weekly on the application. I double checked my application and I clearly marked biweekly. Is it a coincidence that the account they took the wrong payment from receives funds weekly???? In my opinion they didn't even look at the application they just looked at the account information. That account is to pay my bills with. With the error of Taking the weekly payments instead of bi-weekly it left me and a dire situation being able to transfer money into the other account to pay my bills period they were not able to help and not able to deposit the funds back into my account. They didn't apologize all they said was we've corrected the error. I wouldn't recommend This company to as they have made numerous errors and are not able to assist.Uncle Warbucks Response

They want into your bank accounts. They want your whole debit card info before even approved. Everything your bank tells you not to do they want. Very shady. Feels like a scamUncle Warbucks Response

Thank you for your contact, When dealing with any client requesting service there are many steps needed to be taken to confirm a clients eligibility. This would be no different than applying at a brick and mortar location. No one is obligated to continue with the process and is free to stop at any time. In order to qualify for our services banking information is needed. We hope this helps ease your mind and wish you the best moving forward. Uncle Warbucks
