Important information
- Believed to be out of business:According to information in BBB files, it appears that this business is no longer in business.
- Additional Info:Consumers are complaining to the BBB alleging Eastview Lending is offering loans but charging upfront fees to release the money. Multiple consumers tell the BBB that they applied for loans through Eastview Lending and are told by company representatives that they are approved for the loan. However, the consumers say they are also told they must first pay an advance fee. The explanation for this fee varies - generally the first three months payment for the loan or a down payment to secure the loan. Many of those consumers charged an advance fee say that after they paid the original fee (usually around $484 transmitted via Western Union to Ontario, Canada), Eastview representatives then request another fee for what they call insurance - ranging from $750 to $1500 dollars. Consumers that contact Eastview Lending to request a refund report that they are told they will receive their money back, but after time passes, the fees paid are not returned. Other consumers are unable to reach the business to request a refund.
Despite multiple attempts, BBB has been unable to contact this business regarding their business practices and advertising. Mail has been returned to the BBB as undeliverable. The website has been suspended and telephone number is a constant busy signal.
