    I tried to email, but got an automatic response that it doesnt go through. I tried calling, but it goes straight to voicemail. I would like to find a payment option to try to settle my debt with them. I had unexpected circumstances arrive and havent been able to make a payment, I would like to pay off my remainder but I dont know what/ or how much it is. Please I need to contact someone.

    Their website pops up as unsafe. I was contacted about a loan where I owe $400. I told them my plan to pay. I stated that I would go to their portal and pay off my account on the dates given. The man on the phone wanted me to provide my new debit card info. I told him that I would not provide that over the phone. He sent a link to my email to update payment info. When I opened it, it literally just says, update your account info here. I also informed him that I have blocked the company from making an ACH debit from my account. I tried to locate them on ****** and it says that their certificate expired several months ago. This makes me very suspicious!

    Recieving calls reguarding an apparent loan from 2021. Never recieved anything in the mail reguarding this loan and it is not on my credit report. When I asked questions reguarding the loan the lady told me that she needed to go get her manager. The same voice came back on the line acting like another person. I asked that the information be mailed to me and I would pay it that way if it was a legitimate debt that I wasn't remembering about. I was told that they only communicate through phone and email. When I told her that I was not comfortable communicating information through phone she kept reiterating that she hopes I respond to the email. Seems like a scam especially because when they call they don't answer until you have said hello twice.

    I got only a 200 dollar loan. I have paid over 1k since getting it. Trying to end this, I asked for a payoff amount, agreed to it, but the lender is still taking money out my account! They don't want you to pay it off. because the high interest rates they tac on. Lady said, out of the 65 dollars they take out my account for the past nearly a year. Only 8 cents goes towards the loan amount!! This should be illegal. Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right. Now their website is blocked from any new loans or customer service. Go figures. As a final f**you, they took 90.15 out of my account. With no way to contact them, this is now highly illegal and I hope the government seizes all your assets in this country for this. Preying on people at a weak moment is what makes them a loan shark. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FAKE COMPANY!!!

    Worst loan shark ever. 700% interest. I borrowed 900 and have paid over $2000 for the last 3 months. That is , $267 every 2 weeks. Last time I called and checked they told me I still owed $1200. What the hell?? Now they want to garnish my check since I don't want to pay $6300. Worst decision in my life to borrow money from them. These guys are criminal and I wish they will be shut down.

    Good day,Thank you for contacting West Side Lending.We are sorry for any inconvenience that you've had encountered. We understand that you feel that there are unexpected charges associated with your loan. During the loan underwriting process, you were made aware of certain charges or fees related to the loan as well as the APR. Under the Federal Truth in Lending Act and other applicable regulations, we are required to provide an accurate and comprehensive fee disclosure. The charges related to your loan were written out in the loan documentation which you agreed to during the lending process. Before funding a loan, customers are advised of the total cost of their loan and the fees along with different plans to pay the loan back which we believe are competitive with other lenders. This is an expensive form of borrowing, and it is not intended to be a long-term financial solution. These loans are designed to assist you in meeting your short-term financial needs.We really want to help you. We can also provide you a new payment plan that will be suitable for you in order to settle your account.
