      I am a victim of identity theft. My prosper card information was stolen and my online account was taken over. I have contacted customer service over the phone, threw email and I sent certified mail . I have gotten zero assistance. Today when I called my phone number was changed I did not requested it to be changed . It was even changed to an old number I no longer have . There has been no investigation. I have heard nothing back .my information was even changed through the online account the cyber criminal set up . To another person in ******** . I dont know how to correct this situation . And the fact someone has my account and credit card information is alarming. Prosper needs to do something about this instead allowing someone to steal my identity and use my card . Prosper has been no help. Its actually alarming that they have not even gotten back to me after I sent out certified mail .

      On January 10, 2025, the company Prosper LLC located in ************* CA approved me for a loan for ********. However, days went by, and I never received the loan. Friday January 17th, I spoke with a Mr. ***** and asked him how long I would have to wait to receive the loan. He stated that there was some issue on their end and that they would not be able to send the money direct deposit. He stated that there was another way. I would have to go to ****** and get a gift card and add $270.00 to the card in order to pay the transaction fee and then they would provide me a transaction or wire number so that the money would be deposited into my account. So, I did. Then once I sent that and provided them with the information about the card with the number on the back, then they wanted me to go back to Target and get 2 more gift cards and add $385.00 on to those cards. I then informed Mr. ***** that I was not going to do that and stated that I felt this was a scam. They took the last few dollars that I had from my paycheck. I am a single mother, and I just don't want anyone to go through what I have been through with this company taking advantage of people. It's just not right. Today January 28, 2025, they sent me and email threatening me and telling me that I took their money and an email of a Warrant for my arrest. All I requested was a loan and this is what I got in return. This is to anyone, please be aware of this company. I can also provide documents of these emails as well.

      I received a loan offer from Prosper, but when I accepted the offer, the terms changed...the length of term, the APR and the amount. I did not accept this revised offer, and requested they stop SPAMMING me, but instead now they are calling me while I am at work, and since they know I am not able to take calls at work they have been calling every day, and telling me in addition to my numerous requests already, verbally and in writing, they refuse to stop all their vendors they sold my info to. This was nothing more than a bait and switch offer so they could sell my info. It is a scam.

      Hello ******, 

      We sincerely apologize for any frustration and confusion regarding your recent payments and refund process. We understand how important it is for your account balance to reflect accurate information, and we regret any inconvenience caused during your interactions with our team. 

      We have confirmed the remaining balance of $886.85 is accurate. Two payments of $553.41 were made online on 1/7 and 1/9. A refund check for one of the duplicate payments made on 01/07, and this was issued to the address we have on file on 1/27. We are happy to see that it was cashed on 2/3. The second payment that was made on 01/09 was reversed on 1/20 after being returned by your bank. We recommend contacting your financial institution for more information regarding this payment.

      We identified opportunities when speaking with our team on 1/25 and 1/28, and we have taken steps to ensure similar issues do not occur in the future.

      The interest rate will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. For more information on your interest rate and when interest is applied, please refer to the "Interest Rates and Interest Charges" section of the Cardholder Agreement.

      Prosper Bancard has a lot of issues with their technology. This is the second time that I have made a payment through their system that they tell me they've received and the payment was not reversed, so they have received a payment 3 weeks ago. Yeah, yet they have not updated my account with a 0 balance. The issue with this is on my credit. It's showing that I owed them. The annual card fee for the last 30 days. When I paid them almost 30 days ago, they have said that they will follow-up to figure out what is wrong with their system. In the meantime, I should not have this stress of my credit being reported with inaccurate information. Especially since I carry 0 balances on the majority of my cards. It's outrageous that their system is so faulty, that for the second time. When I pay the car to a zero balance, they don't reflect that information for almost a month. Currently, I still am waiting for the payment that they confirmed on January 7th 3 weeks ago to post to my account. So it reflects the correct information that I have a zero balance, not that i've been owing thirty nine dollars to them for almost a month

      Dear Mia,

      We sincerely apologize for any frustration and concern this situation has caused you. We understand how important it is to have accurate and timely updates to your account, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

      At this time, we do not have a record of a payment being made on January 7, 2025. Your due date was January 24, 2025, and we received a payment on January 28, 2025, which resulted in a carried-over balance of $39. We have initiated an investigation to determine if there was an attempted payment on January 7 and will follow up via email once our review is complete. Additionally, we have verified that all reporting is accurate and reflects your account as current, though it may take ***** days for the latest cycle to update with the credit reporting agencies.

      In the meantime, while we complete our investigation, we kindly ask that you provide a copy of your most recent bank statement showing the payment was deducted. This will assist us in further reviewing your concerns. You can email us with supporting documentation at **********************************************************************. 

      We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to address this matter. Please dont hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance by calling our *************************** at ************.

      Fees charged every month because I carry a balance. This card is only for individuals who can pay their entire balance each month. I dont use the card anymore, yet the fees are astronomical each month. I feel I will never get this card paid off because Im not able to pay off the entire balance on the card. I just keep paying into nothing.

      Dear *******,

      Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We understand how frustrating it can be to feel like you're not making progress on your balance, especially with fees adding up.

      To clarify the fees on your account, the $39 annual fee is a standard charge as outlined in the Cardholder Agreement and is assessed once per year. Additionally, a $39 late fee was applied; however, as a courtesy, weve removed this fee on January 29, 2025. Please note that interest charges are applied to any remaining balance at the end of each billing cycle.

      For further details on the fees, we recommend reviewing the "Rates and Fee Summary" section of the "Cardholder Agreement."

      Your satisfaction is important to us, and we want to ensure you're supported every step of the way. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach us at ********************************************************************** or by calling us at ************.

      Today. 1/17/2025, I contacted prosper.com via phone to try to get my online account access. They claim I can no longer access my online account because I closed my credit account. Because of this, I can no longer make my payments online. I am hard of hearing so I have to now have someone else call on my behalf to make payments. This is unacceptable. I am not asking for anything special. I just want to be able to access my information online as all the other customers do. I would like them to reinstate my online account access. I will not accept any other resolution.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
