I was contacted by Zach K*** after looking into what they had to offer. He made it sound like a consolidation loan and had no interest and it was going to be less than I actually owed. after looking deeper into the business, it is not even nearly what I was led to believe. I wish to not be contacted by e-mail, physical mail or by phone. I would also like my information to be discarded and not used by the company any longer.Initial Complaint

When applying to Strategic Consulting, we thought we were applying for a personal loan. Then after providing SSN, DOB, emails, etc., they explain that's it's actually a debt consolidation loan. The sales person was a nice young lady who gave vague answers about the loan and tried to press us quickly along. Wanted to send a notary to seal the deal in the morning!
We would like this company to 1) remove our personal data from their data base; 2) not contact us anymore; and 3) stop selling our personal information.Business Response

I contacted them last week before doing my research. Luckily I didn't give them any banking info for the 1st withdrawal. I won't be doing business with them and they won't stop contacting me and selling my personal information. I don't want my personal information shared with ANYONE and I want them to stop contacting me.Business Response

After reading several complaints and talking with one of the representative, I realize that this will impact my credit I am no longer interested. I want the company to delete all of my personal information out of the database. I do not want them sharing or selling my personal information.Business Response

I got a letter in the mail from Panther lending. Come to find out it’s Strategic Consulting. I read the reviews AFTER giving them my personal information and but had already made an appt with the notary. I want to cancel my appt and I want any information I gave to be wiped. I do not give permission for them to hold on to it for “future inquiry.” I wish I had not fallen for this.Business Response

I decided not to move forward with their services. I am respectfully requesting that all of my personal data and information be permanently deleted from their database and not shared with any outside. I have sent an email to the "loan consultant" requesting all information to be deleted. Mailer for loan offer and this ended up not being one.Business Response
