      I have had good ?? relations with Prosper over 6 plus years & two loans. Totaling over $30,000 In the form of two loans. In 2020 during the pandemic ??, i requested & received a deferment, or so I thought. The deferment, they called a skip pay, I later came to find out. In finance, semantics is critical. A deferment extends the term or maturation date of the loan & my auto withdrawal would have stayed in tact along with my over 800 credit rating. Instead I received an awkward call the day after thanksgiving Nov. 26, 2022. I had been assigned to the collections department. Again, semantics matter so the call their division something else, arrears or something like that. So, here I am a perfect record with Prosper & have taken two loans over 6 years & have not had one late pay. On time & a perfect record. Sent to collections. I thought they were calling to offer a better rate on another loan given my tract record. I literally thought this because one loan was done & completed & the other was extremely close or done as well. This lady informs me I have more payments due & must go on line & fill out an agreement to continue!! I remembered the deferment but she used another term calked skip pay. She was not cordial like other departments from Prosper had been. I told her i wanted to continue in perfection & offered & paid $100.00 immediately towards this debt completion. She indicated I needed to go on line & complete agreement of $50.00 per month if I remember properly. I told her i would but it was Thanksgiving time & i flat out forgot. I went out of town the next day. Then Christmas ?? & I got back again from holidays. I rarely look at my email & prefer phone or text. No reminders, no courtesy call, no additional email even to attempt to remind me of the agreement. I went onto prosper to look at rates available because I had spotless credit with Prosper & an excellent rate over 800. Thinking I might take another loan & thats when i saw they said the last loan was 30 days late. I called immediately. To say what happened next was customer service would be a stretch. More like royal run around and excuses rendered. They have had lots of trouble with many clients on the false deferments they offered in 2020. Instead of finishing out the loans as set & determined they send clients to collection department to create a contract which is misleading & confusing. Im not alone in this. They dinged my credit three times in January of 2023. They reviewed my request & each time indicated they were not culpable in anyway. They indicated that I was the offender. My credit dropped 100 points. They said that because it was a skip Pay i was actually late (3) times!!!!Complete hogwash. I want all credit dings removed & a letter of apology in writing. This has been a bad experience & they alienated a devout client who was impeccable up to the end. Then they sent me to collections. I made an error perhaps however their policy is major flawed & in need of a review. I have solicited your organization & Experian on this matter. I was a good client treated extremely poorly at the end of a successful contract.Again. Corrective action on credit & a written apology acknowledgment of a flawed policy. Thank you for your help in this matter ************************* Sincerely

      I was approved for a ****** loan but had some issues, and was told by customer service to make a new account using a different email. I made a new account with a different email and it locked me out of my original account. I have sent multiple emails and phone calls but have yet to get a response. Im okay with Prosper not extended me a loan but now I have this on my credit report saying I have a loan with them for an unknown amount and its preventing me from getting a loan anywhere else. I need them to either finish the loan or remove the account from my credit report, but cant get any help from Prospers customer service. Thank You

      Dear ****,

      Thank you for contacting us regarding your concern. We apologize for any frustration. At this time no new loans are being reported to ***********. However, a hard inquiry was incurred when terms were accepted. The listing tied to that inquiry was cancelled at your request before it could originate as a loan. Unfortunately the hard inquiry cannot be removed as it was not incurred in error.

      I paid off my balance online and closed my account on December 20, 2022 due to a fraudulent transaction that appeared on my account. I thought everything was fine until I received a statement in the mail that says I owe a certain amount. I was charged an annual fee, a late fee and interest, even after my account was closed. I worked so hard to fix my credit these past few years, and this company is trying to destroy me. I need an explanation and refund ASAP. I

While reviewing the account to credit the balance, it was indeed verified that the total amount that needs to be credited to ensure the balance is $0 is $169.16, not $82.68.

      02/23/23 Just finished applying to Prosper. Pre-approved for the requested amount, however once I sign the documents and enter my personal information for funds to be sent Im immediately hit with an email stating theyre unable to verify anything I put on my application. How? Literally as Im entering my banking information the email comes through also stating my account has been suspended. You guys didnt complete verification in less than a minute. Also, the fact that you do this AND do a hard credit pull makes it harder for us to obtain loans when we need them for emergencies!

      Applied for an approved for a loan with Prosper in late 2012. After submission of documents and income it was determined that I was not eligible for the loan at that time. Fast forward to now and I am pre-approved for offers from Prosper, but am told that because I was declined in 2012 I can no longer apply ever again in my lifetime? This seems ludicrous as circumstances and income change, especially over 10 years.

      Through Credit Karma, offered Prosper Card, was told would be a soft inquiry to check credit limit. When i hit submit, hard inquiry was automatically approved. Since it hit my credit, decided to use their digital card. Never received a card in the mail. Spent $160, already paid $30 down. Not due yet Now card is restricted. No explanation no card. All my credit card accounts are in good standing and using $17 percent of the debt based on credit report. I never authorized hard inquiry and now I might be out of a credit card altogether. What a scam. No credit card has ever given me this issue. Disappointed and do not trust this company.

      In February 4, 2023, I received a bill for a minimum payment of $110.00 via Prospers app, the due date was March 5th. I made the payment that same day through their app. 2 weeks later I received a notice via their app that I had a minimum payment of $63.00 due by March 5th, 2023. The available credit was overstated on their app as well. I called Prosper Card and they told me I made a payment before the billing cycle and my payment of $110.00 did not go toward the minimum payment. I explained to Prospers supervisor what the app listed in February 4, 2023. The supervisor acknowledged their error but refused to accept the $110.00 as credit for my minimum payment. After griping and threatening my states attorney generals office, the supervisor said that they will do a review which will take days. After that two days, the supervisor stated that they will call me or email me with the results of the review. This issue remains unresolved and their app has a lot bugs on it. The business has no accountability to their customers.
