Contract, *** ******* agreed to make 35 monthly payments of $160.00 beginning on November 30,

Dear BBB,
I took out a Borrow & Grow Loan from ****** on 9/19/2022 for $3500. The loan has 2 parts: $1,000 which was deposited directly into my checking upfront & $2500 added to ****** savings that would be made available in 24 mos. when the terms of the loan were me. Monthly payments of $200 payable the 1st of each mo. I contacted ****** on 10/24 requesting restructuring of the loan due to salary reduction. They kindly modified the loan & reduced payments to $100/mo. On 12/3 ****** emailed a notice saying all Borrow & Grow Plan holders were being transferred to SST and that all terms would remain the same. This has not been the case. I called twice this week and the SST reps I spoke with are ill-informed, rude, and kept repeating over and over that my payment in the system is showing as $200. I made a $100 payment online on 12/5 as our SST account numbers were not made available until that date. I have since called ****** and a rep stated they no longer have access to Borrow & Go Plan Member account info since the loans were sold. My SST account number is: ********* I am attaching all required documents including both loan agreements (original and modified) as well as correspondence from ****** to me and me to SST. All that I am asking for SST to honor their commitment to keeping the terms the same per ******'s written correspondence (also attached). My account is now showing as delinquent in their system. I would avoid anyone to steer clear of SST as this truly has been a nightmare company to deal with. Can you please assist? Many thanks! - ****** *********Business Response

company that is committed to resolving customer service issues in a cooperative and expeditious manner.
We’ve completed our initial review of the account in question and found the following:
On September 10, 2022, ****** ********* entered into and signed for a Savings-Secured Loan (“the
Contract”) financing $3,500.00. According to the Contract, *** ********* agreed to make 23 monthly
payments of $200.00, beginning on October 1, 2022, with a final payment of $2.40. On
December 5, 2022, the Account was assigned to SST for servicing.
On December 6, 2022, *** ********* contacted SST via email stating her loan terms were changed in
October with the prior servicer as she had a reduction in salary, so her monthly payment was reduced to
$100.00. SST showed the original payment amount due and borrower did not want this to adversely
affect her credit. SST’s investigation confirmed the monthly payment amount was reduced to $100.00
and updated her account.
The terms and conditions of the Loan Account were not changed by the transfer in servicing, and
*** *********’s Savings Account at Cross River Bank remains open with a current balance of
$ 2,500.00. Once her remaining balance of $3,323.06 is paid off, SST will initiate the release of the
funds contained in the Savings Account to her.

In Jan of 2022 I entered into a borrow and grow plan for 4000$ with ******* I received 2000$ upfront and 2000$ was deposited into a savings account. My payments were 160$ for 36 months. Once I paid back the 4000$ plus interest I would receive the money in the savings account. I paid my loan off on Dec 2,2022 per my contract with ****** I would have access to my savings account and could transfer the money into my bank account electronically. Well after I paid my loan off I was notified that SST had my account now I contacted them and asked when I would have access to my money in my savings account per the contract I signed it says I would receive my money in 7 days via bank transfer. SST is now telling me I have to wait 30 days to have a checked mailed to me I never signed a contract with SST haven’t seen any documentation from SST stating there rules or policies jus was told by a representative it would take 30 days by mail to receive my money. I think they are holding my money hostage to collect the interest. It’s my money release if I held up to my obligation per the contract.Business Response

I had a borrow and grow plan with ****** and I paid it off a week ago. Paying off that loan in full was supposed unlock my savings of 2,500 that I was supposed to be able to withdraw yesterday per an email I received from a ****** rep. Over the weekend I logged into check the status of my savings and everything was gone and there was a statement on ******'s website saying that the borrow and grow loans were now being serviced by SST. I was on the phone and on hold with SST first thing yesterday morning trying to find the 2,500 that is rightfully mine and they didnt formally have a record of it. I was told I had to wait 10 days from the time the loan was paid and that I can email documentation from my bank to show it was taken out of my checking. The company was also supposed to email a new account number to log into their site based on ******a letter and I never received that either. I sent in all of my documentation and haven't heard anything back. The savings is rightfully mine and I'm not getting any status of where that money is or when I will have access to it. The transition to SST and SSTs lack of knowing what is going on with customers from ****** is concerning.Business Response
