      Saw an ad for debt consolidation so I filled out the application. Shortly there after, I was contacted by a rep who went over the program and then informed me that I was approved by the back end. Upon this notification, I informed him that I would like to think on if I wanted to sign an agreement with them. Once I informed him of this, his approach was very aggressive and I felt like it was pressuring. I would like to no longer be contacted in any way EVER AGAIN. I also your rep lied about my credit score and provided me with a score that was over 100 pts less than my actual score.

      More than 30$ in damages, my information was mis used. Money not paid. The company has violated personal privacy laws as I have requested they remove my information from their accounts and not sell my personal financial information or contact information to other companies the have misrepresented themselves as a loan lender but are in fact & very aggressively only pushing financial debt solutions. On the day of initial contact I instructed that my information was not to be used or distributed in any manner. In two days since initial contact I have received over 22 emails and numerous phone calls from them and companies they blatantly distributed my information to. I also have notified them that a cease and desists letter is eminent if they do not comply with my instructions. If this action is required or further action all costs in legal fees and activation will be sought as remedy to include removal of information from all communicated information to other companies that associate with their business distributing my information. All subsequent efforts to reclaim my personal information from their malice will be expected to be in any settlement.

      This company has contacted me multiple times over the past week. I have asked every time for the last 3 days for them to remove me from their call list and I still havent received resolution the calls have continued and the people I tell to remove me from the call list continue to try and get me to answer questions about why I no longer want to be contacted by them. No one is removing my information from their database. Ive blocked numbers only to be contacted by different numbers multiple times per day. I have advised the last person that called me that I will be filing harassment charges against their employer for the repeated disregard for my request to no longer be contacted.

      I applied to Americor for assistant to help consolidate my bills as my husband is unable to work due to health reasons and I am the only one working. They did their very best to help me and when they had negotiated all of my accounts, they spoke with me about Credit9 - that the hand off would be to go with them as they will provide a loan in the amount to cover all of the debt balances, they Americor negotiated. I thought that was going to be good. No one ever contacted me about the Credit 9. Only received documents to sign stating I had the loan and the payment amount to pay each pay day. I was ok with this. What happened they took money out of my account not on a payday of mine, it messed my entire account up with checks bouncing. I called them and tried to explain to them they cannot take money out any time they wanted I thought we'd agreed to take out on my designated paydays. No one helped me, I had a family emergency and I called and emailed their customer service, to let them know I would like to stall my payment until next month. They said noand attempted 2 more times to take money out of my account. I had to work with my bank to dispute each of those. It was a nightmare, I called them and never spoke with anyone, I emailed them again asking them not to take the money out until next month due to the family emergency. They sent me an email back stating if you have a hardship call us. So I called and they told me you have to pay the back pay for the month you missed, I said, I had no problem doing that if you can put it behind my loan payments so I can move forward again with my payments they said, no, you got to pay now and when you do then we can set up your payments. I explained to him I didn't have the money to pay them for 1 month $230 he hung the phone up on me. I have called my bank to stop payments with them all together I've never worked with such unprofessional people in my life. Do not do business with them unless you want a headache!

      I just acquired a loan from credit 9 to consolidate my debts into one. They move pretty slow but I was told around 4/2 that the payments went out to all creditors involved. I called twice and told them no one got paid. They told me be patient. Here it is 4/16 and two of my creditors did not get paid I called in only to be told by ********************* she said her name was very rude that one just went out on 4/12 when I was told differently. I again asked to speak to a mgr but one is never available and they never call me back. Im getting calls not that Im late but courtesy call reminding me if payment due. I regret taking out a loan with this company because they are not helpful and you can never speak to a manager and they lied to me.

      Like many others on this thread, this company call me multiple times per day, to the point it is disrupting my work. I have no affiliation with this company or its products, and I respectfully request the solicitation calls to stop.

      Company called me about a loan as soon as they received my Social Security number the call disconnected. I believe I may have been fraudulently contacted under the guise of this company by someone stealing my information.

      I accessed the site while researching loans online, and to check my rate as it stated, it will not affect my credit score . They ask you to enter basic information to do so, for instance, your name, address, email and phone number. I did not follow through on obtaining loan, as I received a loan through my credit union. However, credit nine calls me repeatedly throughout the day mostly from a 949 area code number. I do not have any credit9 or any of its affiliates and ask the repetitive calls stop. thank you.
