      Hi, I got an email stating that I couldn't get a loan. I wanted to know when this occurred since I have not applied myself and have been getting many emails about loans. I'm not sure what is needed to apply but I need to know if my info got leaked. Thank you

      I emailed & called Prosper in June, before I missed a payment & let the agent know I had been laid off, related to Covid. The agent didn't give me an extension. I should have asked to speak to a supervisor at that time, to try to get someone to understand, but I'd had such a good relationship with Prosper to that point, I never thought this could happen. My credit score dropped almost 100 points because of this late payment. In seven years I've never had a missed payment, with Prosper or any other company. I spoke with a supervisor on September 2nd who made a payment agreement with me and I want Prosper to honor that agreement, as I paid the loan off as per the terms of the agreement.I'm hopeful I will get some personal attention, given that I have been a loyal customer for the last 6 years who has never missed a payment. I emailed and called on September 2nd because my account status had not yet been reported to the credit bureau as late. I asked to speak to a supervisor to see if I could do anything to avoid being reported as late. The supervisor told me if I made paid off the loan right away, within 3 days, I wouldn't be reported late, as the account could accurately just be reported as paid in full. That evening I borrowed enough money so I could pay off the loan, in full, as agreed. Hence, I paid the loan in full on Sept. 2nd, but on September 10th, I was reported as having a late payment and my credit score plummeted. On some of my credit reports, the amount hasn't even been reported as paid in full, just late, which is inaccurate. On the date of the report, my account should have been reported as paid in full, "paying as agreed," according to our agreement. On September 22nd and September 24th I called and spoke to two more supervisors who read the amount notes, admitted that the late payment shouldn't have been reported, as I had paid in full like the supervisor told me to. They told me the late payment would be removed. It hasn't been.

      Dear ******,

      Thank you for contacting us regarding your concerns.

      After reviewing the account, it has been determined that the credit reporting is accurate.  We apologize that we did not provide additional clarity regarding when an account has already reached a late reporting status and when additional late reporting would be reported.  We have taken the necessary steps in order to prevent similar issues from arising in the future.

      Prosper reports all loan history information to the credit bureaus once each calendar month and it can take ***** days for the credit bureaus to reflect the information on the credit report.

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If there are any additional questions, please feel free to contact us by email at [email protected], or by phone at *************.

      Complaint: 18189377

      I am rejecting this response because the response is non-responsive to my complaint. The supervisor I spoke with told me to pay 5 extra payments, in order to not be reported as late. I did so, as instructed by a supervisor at Prosper. Then when I called to report that the agreement your supervisor made had not been honored, I was assured by two more supervisors that I was correct, according to the agreement made with me by the supervisor, the report would be corrected. If the agreement offered to me is not respected. Prosper ais guilty of allowing a supervisor to misrepresent a payment t arrangement to a customer to get them to pay what amounts to five extra payments. Then allow two supervisors to confirm the payment agreement would be upheld. The calls are recorded. You can verify that I was told to pay more to avoid a late payment report and Prosper violated the agreement, which creates deceptive lending practices. I want the agreement t the supervisor made with me on September 2nd to be honored. 

      Sincerely,

      *****************************

      I applied for a loan on 10/04. The site it would not affect my credit score. Then it said I was approved for a loan. As soon as I accepted the loan the website said my account has been suspended and my loan has been canceled WITH NO EXPLANATION. They pulled the hard inquiry on my credit report and it immediately dropped my credit score by 4 Points, and it has now impaired my ability to get a loan, since every other lender now thinks I'm already getting a loan through prosper. My experience with prosper has been deceptive, unfair, misleading, and damaging to my situation, and I do not want this to happen to other people. I expect my account to be reinstated, and the hard inquiry removed from my credit report, so my credit score will go back up.

      Clearly you did not reject my application because of the reasons you stated in the letter. You suspended my account? Why did you do this? The loan was approved and as soon as I logged in, it said my account was suspended. I would like to know why my account was suspended and I would like it reinstated if there isn't any reason.

      I already verified my identity when I applied for the loan. Then Prosper approved the loan. Then my account was automatically suspended. I can re-verify my identity. I no longer want a loan through prosper. But your loan process is unfair, because you suspended my account after you approved my loan. And you didnt even reach out to resolve the issue.

      I'm depressed and suicidal after dealing with the unauthorized use of my personal information. Which resulted in this unauthorized item on my credit report.

      I have contacted Prosper bank for the past week, in reference to restrictions on my account and was told that that it should had been resolved on 09/25/22 well spoke with **** on 09/26/22 and was told that by the end of the day I would get an email. I never received an email from her or the internal team until I sent an email to the internal team expressing my frustration on having to call about something that should have been done automatically. Well reviewing the complaints left and right I am not the only customer that is dealing with this issue of being mislead and not being treated fairly. I called 2-3 times a day for the past 5 days on issue that are not being resolved. I have spoke with **** ( supervisor) who can't help or don't have answers she referring to something with the internal team. The internal team needs to resolve their issue. I have sent 2-3 complaints to the support team that don't get acknowledge nothing. Took 2 days to have the restriction remove. Now I am with another issue where I made a payment on 09/23/22 and was told by 09/30/22 that my available balance should reflect the payment that was made that wasn't done at all. I have called and spoke with **** again this morning and was giving another work order number ******* don't even think that is a real ticket number that was suppose to be escalated on why my available balance is not reflecting the ****** that was made on my account. No one is helpful at this company most of them don't speak English at all. I have spoken with over 6 people ( they all have the same name so I don't know) within 5 days. I know the script that they are going to say before they say it. I am really unsatisfied with the way that business is being handled. ************************* the *** needs to really think about how they are treating their customer. So many complaints and not enough resolution. A customer shouldn't have to take time out their day to resolve this. This is not how a business should be ran. Please assist

      I have held a portfolio at Prosper since October 2021 and by September 2022, I had invested in ***** notes for a value of approximately $330,000. On September 29, without notification, my notes started to be repurchased by Prosper. So far (8pm EST), they repurchased $144,707. I called to get an explanation but was denied any explanation. I also asked how many of my notes would be repurchased and no answer was provided. I escalated the issue to a manager and got the same unclear reason - prosper.com is repurchasing because the credit information on these notes was inaccurate but the associate could not explain why. In addition most of these notes were current and the payers had been current on their payments for month. These notes weee acquired manually and through a program and it took approximately 30min a day for 9 months to set this portfolio.No interest will be earned on these notes going forward and with the current inflation, it is deteriorating significantly my financial situation.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. 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.
