            I had a great experience no penalties for paying off early!

            I was approved for a loan with them and I was waiting for the money to go into my account Tuesday morning but I received a email from them stating that they change their mind and denied me but in they system I am still showing that the account is active and my payments that I need to pay, someone really need to talk to them or I am filing a lawsuit

            The interest rate on my loan in nearly 500% annually, so I am trying to pay off these predators early, but the "make payment", "schedule payment", and "schedule payment" links on the website are all non-functional. Yet they also seem to be unreachable by phone to make additional payments or pay off the balance. So I am stuck with the original payment schedule at that absurdly high rate.

            I have reached out to them multiple times via email and phone about automatic payments being turned off since I was hospitalized and unable to work and never get a response back via email and I am lied to on the phone about it being turned off they just took another payment out of my bank

            I don't think you should use Buffalo Lake Lending. All I wanted is a statement of what I owe, when I paid, and the balance. But I was informed that they didn't have that information and to try corporate but I am still waiting for a reposne. If they can't even give you basic information about the account, that doesn't seem right.

            DO NOT borrow from this company!! They are a complete scam. You will end up paying 600 times the amount borrowed!! There are many other companies that are way fairer when it comes to interest and charges. Huge mistake I will never make again! This company is nothing more than dirty thieves. Do not use Buffalo lake lending

            Received a "pre-approval" letter in which I was denied a loan! The definition of "pre-approval" means exactly the words displayed previously approved! Lying or misleading mailing offer in which I'm under the impression that I was hit with a hard inquiry for them to have fun my credit! Unethical, misleading, inappropriate, and fraudulent business tactics, personally, I will not tolerate! The greed of like businesses should revise their intolerable tactics and horrendous misleading wording!

            Will approve a loan and then not actually send the money, then say it was reversed for no reason. An absolute scam.

            I was approved and paid them off the first pay date so my total was only the principle balance plus interest. There wasn't a fee like other hardship high rate lenders. I don't think I would use them if I needed to keep making only the minimum payments. I like the money comes same day. My only gripe is that I've had two loans with them and paid them both off on the first pay date but they still haven't increased the amount I can borrow. When I called, they said I qualified for nine dollars more which I felt was disrespectful. But for a quick loan that I only need between paychecks, they give higher loan amounts than payday loan companies and the interest is a lot cheaper if paid off by the first payment date.
