      I was told I was approved on Credit Karma, after being told I had excellent odds of approval. After I agreed they immediately denied me without any effort to get me approved. I am a loan officer. I know how *************. They said their computer couldn't verify something, they have no idea what so they just denied me. I do verifications all the time. If you don't get it online, pick up the phone and call! Try actually doing your job! So now I get to sit with a credit inquiry and denial on my credit report for the next few months, plus the ding from having my credit pulled, all because they are lazy. This is bullshit! No wonder they have a 1 star rating. Pathetic. I believe that what they are doing is false advertising. Why are they sending me marketing bs telling me I have "outstanding odds" when they aren't willing to put in any effort whatsoever to get loans approved?

      I applied for a loan from Prosper. They pulled my credit report and had me put in my bank account information to receive payment, which I linked through PLAID. I go back to the prosper site to verify the account was linked and my account was see my prosper account was suspended and my loan request cancelled. The reasoning listed in my message for not funding the loan was because they apparently couldn't verify identity, employment, credit history, income or other information on the application. So instead of asking for documents to verify anything, they just suspend the prosper account and cancelled my loan request after pulling my credit. I want the inquiry removed from credit since I was not even given the opportunity to provide the information needed to fund the loan.

      This credit card boasts that it reports to all 3 major credit bureaus but it does not. It is false advertisement.

      Dear ********,

      Thank you for reaching out to us about your credit reporting concern.

      At this time, the Prosper card only reports information to Transunion. We hope to report the same information to Experian and Equifax in the future.

      Complaint: 19612196

      I am rejecting this response because: This was the same information provided to me when I originally made the complaint to Prosper.  These companies are falsely advertising their literature, people are signing up and being screwed in the process.  I recently paid off all my debts in hopes of buying a home soon.  Now my credit score is being affected because this company that PREVIOUSLY reported to all 3 credit bureaus no longer does, and we the customers are paying for it.  Now any new credit I apply for is being affected by incorrect information.  My debt-to-income ratio is off which may cost me higher interest rates across any of the loans I carry or apply for.  Ill bet if this card werent being paid on in a timely enough fashion it would surely be recording and reporting the late payments, fees, and whatever else that gets negatively impacted.  This is unfair to the consumer.

      I received an email from Prosper today, March 16 indicating that my account had been closed due to its delinquent status. I just made a payment on 3/13/23. I have sent emails to them indicating that I was having financial difficulty due to a reduction in work hours and said I would make payments when I could. No one followed up or called me to discuss. I find it surprising that after two missed payments (please note: I've paid something in these two months), my account was automatically closed. That is not best practice. I was proactive by trying to reach out.

      Monthly beginning due date of loan started July 16, 2022. The loan amount was for $9000. $485 went to service fee. Which left me with $8550 of loan funded into my account. As of March 13, 2023. I have paid $3061.68 on loan. Since I have had the loan, I have noticed that my interest rate has fluctuated from month to month. As shown in the attachment that I have sent. I have noticed that my interest rate on the principal have went down, but the amount of interest I have been paying has been fluctuating from month to month, which is very confusing to me. I would like some explanation why this is happening and I would like a resolution to this problem.

      Date: 03/21/2023

      Dear ******,

      Thank you for communicating with us regarding your concern.  

      As with all simple interest loans, there is a per diem rate of interest that is applied to the loan each day. 

      To learn more about how that is calculated, there are many articles and interest calculators available online. A quick web search of ' how simple interest is calculated' should provide ample results. 

      You can also refer to your 'Borrower Promissory Note' for additional information regarding payments and interest accrual.
      The agreement can be found within your Prosper account by:

      1.           Signing in
      2.           Clicking on your name in the upper right corner
      3.           Selecting the 'History Tab'
      4.           Locating 'Legal Agreements & Disclosures'
      5.           Choosing the 'Borrower Promissory Note'

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

      From my understanding. Per dime means that i would work for you and receive some type of bonus pay base on mileage or food travel bonus. From my understanding this is also tax exempt. I do not work for this company. I only have a loan from the company in question. So, where is the extra money that i pay on the loan going to? I havent received any type of bonus check in my mail box. I havent received a 1099.so,that i could go and file taxes. So,once again why is my loan based on a Per Diem payment arrangement? I was told that i should seek a lawyer and also call the *** and report the conduct on how this company is doing business. 

      Business Response

      Date: 04/12/2023

      Dear ******,

      Thank you for raising the additional concern regarding your simple interest loan.

      'Per diem' refers to the amount of interest that accrues daily. Each day, the per diem adds to the amount of any outstanding interest or fees. Whenever a payment is made, it will first apply to any fees or unpaid interest and then finally, the remaining principal balance of the loan. 

      To ensure a payment goes to 100% principal, you can always make an additional payment on your due date after your payment for the month has been satisfied in full. 

      For more information regarding payments and interest accrual, please refer to your 'Borrower Promissory Note'.

      I got my February statement Feb 10th on my prosper app. The app said a $30 payment was due March 8th. I made the payment Feb 11th and it posted to my account Feb 12th. They have charged me a late fee and are saying my payment is late. Now they wany me to make another $30 March payment on top of my $30 April payment. They also informed me that a late payment would be reported to my credit! I want my payments adjusted and no late payments reported. I have 9 statements currently and I have made nine payments.

      I agreed to a credit limit of ****. In December I paid off 2 loans over 100k. I went to use my credit card and it was declined and I knew I wasnt over the limit. I called prosper to see why my card was declined, the advised that because my credit score dropped. However because my score dropped doesnt say Im not capable of paying my bill. I waited over 2 months for someone to give me a call back and nothing. I called today and its like I never called at all because they didnt have a record as I was told. Recreating my credit limit also messes with my credit score!

I advised them I had never heard for this company and did not have a card with them, Someone fraudulent was able to open an account with prosper credit card using my information.

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.
