    ATTENTION!!! Everyone stay the f***ch away from a bright lending company. Brightlending is criminal they rob individuals of their finances, with a very high-interest rate, and use borrowers' desperation to their advantage by stealing from them all in the name of loaning money. Even if youve to die in your desperation DO NOT BORROW MONEY FROM BRIGHTLENDING COMPANY, because you will only be setting yourself up for failure and more debts. I tried to borrow ****. After signing up the loan agreement they gave a 20 bi-weekly payment of 271. 00 dollars which is equal to *****. Just for ****, I was going to back ***** in interest.. luckily for me, I was smart enough to cancel the loan agreement and saved myself from deeper debts.

    I think it is bad when you are approved and the bank sends the funds back because one number is left off of the account number and a representative calls you and tells you to go back and apply and you will be approved again and you get denied this time and no one what's to fix the problem where you get approved again.

    Took out a loan and can't get out from under it. Interest far exceeds legal limit in my state. Ridiculous terms. STAY AWAY.

    I ignorantly responded to a mail offer and even started to fill out the application process online. I saw that the terms were insanely predatory and decided I wanted nothing more to do with the company. I have emailed the company requesting they withdrawal my application in process and delete all of my data. Since 8:00 this morning the time is now 11:30 I have received 11 phone calls all robocalls from the company despite me being on the do not call list and requesting they remove all of my information. There is a special place designated far far below the surface of the Earth for people like these. I just wish they would go away.

    What they are doing is so unnecessarily unjust and dark. There is absolutely no reason to charge someone over six (6) times what they borrowed, other than a diabolical plot to prey on the less fortunate and needy, who are already in dire financial straits. Their loans offer no viable assistance of any kind and seeks to callously render bad situations worse. It appears history has had no bearing on the companies principals.

    Predatory loan sharks with exorbitant interest rates, once you sign your name away you are locked in to their contract contrary to what their terms of service say which is that you can cancel within 24 hours, I contacted them three times within the 24 hour period to cancel my loan right away and they did nothing! Of course not, how else would they make a profit? These tribal lenders merely hide behind a tribe to circumvent the law, they are crooks. This place needs to be investigated and shut down because this is usury and a criminal way to take advantage of people! Avoid at all costs!!!

    Were very sorry to hear of your negative experience. Bright Lending informs our customers that this is an expensive form of borrowing, and we even encourage our customers to prepay (with no penalty) to reduce the overall cost of borrowing. We go further and inform our customers that our product is not meant as a long-term financial solution. We strive to always provide exceptional service and communication in every interaction. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please call customer service at *************.

    Avoid this company at all costs. The interest rates are astronomical. You will pay back more than triple of what your original loan is. Its predatory and vile. They dont care to settle accounts that are favorable for the customer even after already giving all of the borrowed amount and a good portion of interest. Ill be paying $1000 in interest just to have borrowed $600. Biggest mistake ever!
