I just received a loan denial for a new line of credit that I NEVER REQUESTED. How did your company get your hands on my SSN to apply for a loan???Business response

Dear *******,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your concern.
The email you received was sent from Prosper in response to a loan request submitted in your name, which may have come through Credit Karma.
Checking personal loan rates does not result in a hard credit inquiry. Instead, Prosper uses a soft inquiry to check an applicant's credit, which does not impact your credit score.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to give us a call at ************.

I had an 'outstanding' offer on credit karma for a $25,000 loan from prosper. They ran my credit & knocked it down to $16,000. That was fine with me. I accepted. They sent me a congratulations on your approval email. Then called me within a day or two & told me I was denied. I was told by the rep it was because I can either choose being employed by my employer or claiming my rental property but I could not do both. First off, how are you going to congratulate me on an approval then turn around and take it back? Then why can't I claim being a landlord? It's my income property. It's extra income which is what it was put under!Business response

Thank you for reaching out to our team ****, in case you haven't had a chance to review our response we'd be happy to answer your concerns here.
Each loan is subject to its own verification requirements after an offer is extended and an application is submitted.
At this time, we are unable to combine Self Employment - Rental income with W2 income.
We understand this was not the outcome you were expecting, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.
We hope you would consider us in the future, and should you decide to reapply, a hard pull will be necessary as the pervious one expired on 4/12/2024.

I applied for a personal loan. The original loan amount I was told was $25, 000. They did a soft pull on my credit and reduced it to $16,000. I accept, then they pulled a hard hit on my credit. Sent me am email congratulating me that I was approved. A day or so later they called and told me I was denied. The person who called me told me I could not use my income property as income hence the name, income property. Instead of allowing me to send them the information that could verify it, they closed it and the stated I could reapply. I told them I didn't want my credit hit again and they said if you do it within a week it won't be pulled again. How can you send a congratulations letter on an approval if you're not really approved ? Isn't that false advertisement??Business response

I have a Prosper Mastercard and in Jan of this year around the 17th I was billed ***** annual fee, I paid the card off in April of this year, around the 13th and I called and spoke to a supervisor asking for the annual fee to be prorated and sent back to me the difference. She stated she would request a full refund and sent it to the **** that would take care of it and they denied her request. Annual fee means the entire year, I only had them 4 months or less, so I should NOT be billed a year of annual feeBusiness response

I am rejecting this response because: I was charged the ***** anual fee in Jan of 2024, I paid this account off in April of 2024 and requested the account be closed. Since, I did not use a complete year of the annual fee, it should be pro-rated and the difference returned back to me.

***********************Business response

Dear ****,
Thank you for following up with us.
Per the Cardholder Agreement the Annual Fee is assessed each year and can be refunded if the account is closed within 30 days of the closing date of the monthly statement on which the Annual Fee appears.
The Annual Fee was assessed on 01/16/2024 and the account was closed as requested on 04/13/2024. The account was closed more than 30 days outside of the closing date of the monthly statement on which the Annual Fee appears; therefore, this fee cannot be refunded.
We deeply apologize for the frustration this has caused.

I get an email from prosper inviting to get a loan. Ive been looking to consolidate my credit cards. I get to the screen to check my rate and Im approved. I give all my information and what was required to get the loan. I submitted the loan thinking that if the business tells you that you are approved, logic dictates approved is approved. I think 95% of people would have been ****** about the time they wasted. approved +. approved = APPROVED. Im not upset about the disapproved request. Another business with better rates approved my loan. I hate wasting my time and energy. After reading complaint after complaint, makes me wonder if this is their standard operating procedure. I can tell Prosper right now that a hard inquiry needs to be removed or not reported in the first place. Seems like a bait and switch company. I would guess and say 10 times out of 10 times Prosper gets your information for free, denies request which reduces the risk of lending and losing money because of slow return payments and charge offs, and they could turn around and sell your information which has 0 loss. I willing to bet this may be their way of doing business PLEASE HAVE THIS REMOVED FROM MY CREDIT REPORTBusiness response

Thank you for reaching out to our team *****.
Unfortunately, we have determined we cannot continue to extend a loan offer to you at this time and we welcome you to re-apply 90 days from 04/04/2024.
We want to assure you that we have taken steps to remove the hard inquiry associated with the loan application. Please allow ***** days for this to reflect on your credit profile.

I contacted Prosper with an email exchange from the company to settle on a 40% total agreement and that they would close and deactivate my account. I explained to them the circumstances in my life which I couldn't pay it all at once like they insisted so they sent an agreement of 40% settlement to close my account without anymore negative impact to my credit or myself. It has been nearly two weeks and the account is still open and negatively impacting my credit. I have emails, I have bank statements, I have 3 recorded conversations with Prosper employees all telling me my account is settled and closed. I called again today to verify this and the lady I spoke with said my account was not closed and it will take some time... they stated it would take 10 days and yet the account isn't settled or closed as they said in the email, recorded conversations, and through mail. I just want my account closed as they promised and the negative remarks off my credit score that shouldn't be there because they haven't fulfilled their part of the contract. I was told by an attorney to attempt contact through the BBB before filling a suit against Prosper.Business response
