I tried several time to contact the prosper loan department and I can never get ahold of anyone. Then several people would call me from other loan companies. I think proper is selling my information to these other companies. Then I tried to apply for a prosper loan through an email they sent me and the links didnt work. There is no one I can contact to ask whats going on and when I call the credit card company because I have a card with them they cant help me and every person I talked to didnt understand what I was saying. They thought I was complaining about not getting a loan when I was trying to explain I never got the opportunity to fill out an application. I think they are selling peoples information and there might not be a prosper loan department if there is they are not letting me fill out an applicationBusiness response

I am writing to have my loan finally paid off and closed from prosper.com. I took out a loan in 2021 and it was supposed to be paid off in July 2024, they made automatic deductions out of my account for 3 years and I still had a balance of *****. I have tried to pay it off twice now and they keep rejecting it, its with the same account they withdrew automatic payments for that last three years and there is plenty of money in the account to go through. In fact this ***** is the result of me trying to pay off the loan all the way back on 2-29-2024 but they again failed that transaction even though there was money in my account and takes on an insufficient funds charge. So now they have three insufficient funds charges on my account totaling ***** and I bet if I try again to pay it off they would fail it again and tack on another 15 dollars. This should be illegal they are deliberately trying to get more money out of me and now I'm in danger according to them of having a negative report on my credit even though I made on time payments through out my entire loan. This has to stop my account should be zero.Business response

Dear *****,
Thank you for reaching out to us and for sharing your concerns.
First and foremost, congratulations on successfully paying off your loan!
We sincerely apologize for any frustration or confusion you experienced regarding your manual payments. After thorough investigation, we discovered that the issue stemmed from an incorrect account being used for the manual payments, which did not match the account linked to your auto-draft payments.
Please rest assured that we have waived the accumulated fees related to this matter, and your loan has been officially closed as of August 15, 2024.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email at ********************************** or by phone at **************.

I filed a fraud claim on Feb. 29 for ***** with Prosper credit card and was told it would take 90 days to resolve. At that time there was also a charge of $165, pending, which I was told to call back when it posted. I called back in March when the $165 posted and filed a claim.Ive called back each month checking on their status and have also received no communication from anyone about these claims.Today, Aug. 8th 2024 I was told there was no call from me about the $165 until May which is false.Both claims are way beyond their 90 days, they are still charged on my card, ** still paying interest on these charges and Im at the point where *** paid off my valid charges and only have these to charges left on my card.I was told I was still expected to make my monthly payments but would be reimbursed for the monthly payments plus any interest from the fraudulent charges.After 5 months of waiting for these charges to be cleared how can I trust them to reimburse me on future payments to my card.They also said they dont have a direct connection to their fraud department to be able to speak to someone directly about these claims.There is a lot going on that makes no sense and I feel like they are doing nothing to resolve this issue and trying to get me to pay for charges that are not mine.Business response

Dear ***,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention and allowing us the opportunity to review your account. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused you.
Upon review of your account, we identified several opportunities in the handling of your dispute claims, and we have taken steps to address these errors internally and have provided additional coaching to the agents involved to prevent similar issues in the future.
We confirmed that a dispute for $79.99 was filed on February 29, 2024, and the agent advised to call back when the pending charge of $165 had been posted. Unfortunately, the claim for the $79.99 was not accurately reviewed and was closed without a resolution, and the agent on 05/11/2024 did not file a new claim for the transactions accurately.
As of 08/13/2024, disputes for both transactions of $79.99 and $165 have been re-opened, and credits have been applied while they are investigated. Please allow up to 90 days for the investigation to be completed. Also, if we reach out to you asking for additional information, or if the merchant submits any documentation to us that requires your action, please ensure that you respond to our request quickly in order to avoid delaying the resolution of your claim.
Please note for any disputed charges found valid, you will be responsible for any fees or interest which accrue prior to and during the claim process. If your claim is resolved in your favor, any interest charges or fees associated with the transactions will be adjusted accordingly.If there is anything additional we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact us by email at *************************************** or by calling our *************************** at ************.

The company advertised on credit Karma and I applied for a small loan. They advertised a rate inquiry without a hard pull and did one anyway. They put my personal address on my credit report, promised funding in two days, its been over three and now they have said its going to be two weeks before they can find an investor to fund the loan. They said they cant keep up with all of the applicants. Horrible and I feel like its bait and switch, deliberately misleading the public and using unscrupulous practices.Business response

Dear *****,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern.
We appreciate your patience throughout the funding process, and were pleased to inform you that your loan has been funded as of August 14, 2024.
While our website indicates that you may receive your funds one business day after accepting the loan offer, please refer to our Personal Loan Borrower Registration Agreement and ************* of Attorney. These documents outline that funding can take up to 14 days after loan approval.
Please also note that a soft inquiry is conducted to check rates, and a hard inquiry occurs once the terms and conditions are signed.

The date of the transaction was around the end of April 2024, maybe between 4/27 - 4/30. I called Prosper credit card customer service to bring my account current. The representative agreed that if I made a payment of $246 right then, and an additional $244.77 before my next payment was due he would reverse all finance fees and late fees from my account bringing my account current to a zero balance. I paid the $246 while on the phone with him and he agreed that I can split in half the last payment of $244.77. So I paid $144.77 on May 3rd, and then paid the remaining $100 on May 20th before my next payment was due to ensure there was enough time for the representative to reverse all fees. The nature of my dispute is I am asking Prosper to keep their promise and reverse all of the finance fees and late fees from my account to bring my account current. I have reached out several times and was informed a manager would call me but no one called me. I reached out to their base/home company ********************** who sent several message to reach out to me by phone regarding my dispute but even then no one called me. I just want Prosper to keep their promise to me by reversing the fees to bring my account current.Business response

Dear ****,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
After thoroughly reviewing your account and the communications you had with our representatives, we have identified an opportunity for our group while working with you and we have taken steps to ensure similar issues do not occur in the future.
We determined the agent on 04/27/2024 improperly communicated 7 late fees, plus interest accrued from those fees, would be waived if specific payments were made within the agreed time frame which was beyond what our policy permits. Due to the status of the account at the time of this call, 4 late fees and 4 interest charges, totaling $237.84, were waived.
While we have already waived the maximum allowable fees under our policy, we are committed to ensuring you understand your account status and deeply apologize for the confusion and frustration this has caused.
Our records indicate supervisors tried to contact you on May 30th,June 5th, and June 6th, 2024, but were unable to reach you and voicemails were left.

I am rejecting this response because:I was informed all fees will be reversed so Im asking that you please reverse the fees. Also, I have called customer service several times and was not able to speak directly with a supervisor. I was told someone would call me but I never got that call and no one ever left me a voicemail. I was told the fees would be reversed but they were not, however l, after I paid what I was informed to pay more fees were added and no supervisor would take my call or return my call. Please honor what you said and reverse the fees.

I am rejecting this response because:I was told all my fees would be reversed after I made my payments but they have not kept their promise to me. Instead, they lied to me and is now refusing to fix it. What is currently owed on my account are only fees that has built up from them not keeping their promise and reversing them after I made my payments.I cant move with this motion like this. I am doing this for a reason. I just asked you to please honor your word and reverse the fees. I am going to close this account because I no longer want to do business with you.

I am partially reject this response. I canceled my card. After doing so I no longer had access to my account online. Which made it incredibly difficult. I called back in April where I was on hold more than I actually talk to someone. The gentleman was unable to do anything. He could take *********** account off the auto pay. He tried connecting me to another department but they were closed.
I wrote two letters and now that I got the BBB involved it was updated in less than two weeks.
Im asking you to go back you will see my incredible history. Please waive any late fees and nsf fees.
In regards to my July payment. I have not received a statement. For the ones received I have sent payments. Is there an automated number to call to make a payment. The wait time is very long.
please send me an itemized history since the card was closed also showing payments and fees added and waived.

Twice within last 3 months prosper has offered me a loan and approved me after an hard inquiry. During funding it suspends my account and cancels the loan and the hard inquiries stay on my credit report. If they want to deny a loan then say as such. Its approved a loan and then denies funding due to unknown reasons and no ones answers their phone and the email responses are not helpful. I want my hard inquiries removed. They seem to be habitual offenders as they removed the suspension 99 days after the first inquiry only to be suspended again after loan application and approval. Please helpBusiness response

Thank you for reaching out, ******.
We are happy to inform you that the Adverse Action Notices provided on 04/04/2024 and 07/30/2024 indicate the reasons your loan requests were canceled.
The hard inquiries from the 04/04/2024 and 07/30/2024 applications have been removed. We can confirm that only soft inquiries are now reflected on your credit report, which will not impact your credit score.
We understand this is not the outcome you were expecting, and we sincerely apologize for any frustration this has caused. We hope you will reconsider us in the future and welcome you to reapply after the 90-day suspension from 07/30/2024.

After using my card for a recent transaction, Prosper immediately lowered my credit limit by 75% on a Sunday. I have never missed a payment and this was only my 2nd transaction with the company. I called to talk with the company, requested escalation, only to be told that it takes ***** hours because of no internal office. I was told that the only communication with the company is VIA email. The customer service department is not affiliated with the banking institution who issues the card, nor the company of Prosper. This in itself raises a flag as to why personal Information is provided to an outside company when no permission was given to sell or openly share social security numbers, and other sources of information. Im requesting a full investigation in to the legitimacy of Prosper, as they have falsely misled consumers into thinking they were legitimate. I now question if this has contributed to my identity being compromised. What I am seeking is a full explanation as to who this company is, I am also requesting that a physical address and phone number is provided for direct contact with the company. The third party used for **************** can only answer basic questions with scripted responses. Is ********************** aware of this possible scheme? From activating the card to a decrease, its been 3 months.Business response
