I took out a loan with Enable Loan and made my first payment back in August 2024. However, due to the financial hardship, I communicated with them back on September saying that I still have a hardship. But I never receive any communication from them until I had to call back. Now I am told that they tried to offer me a settlement back in January but I never receive any communication from them at all.
I called them today and ask them if I can do something with a smaller payment less than 100 but they refuse! They expect me to start my payment for 200 which is ridiculous a lot!Business Response

Be advised, nothing in this communication should be constructed as a waiver of the Tribe’s or the Company’s sovereign immunity, all of which are expressly preserved.
Dear *** **,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent concerns about your loan, which was established on August 13, 2024, with a deposit of $500 into your **** ** ******* account ending in ****. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
We acknowledge that you contacted us in September 2024, shortly after receiving the loan, to inform us of financial hardship. At that time, you also requested to revoke your ACH payments, which we promptly honored. As part of our commitment to assisting customers facing financial difficulties, we requested supporting documentation to explore potential options and tailor the best repayment plan for your situation. Unfortunately, we did not receive any follow-up documentation from you to proceed with a hardship evaluation.
In February 2025, you reached out again to inquire about the status of your loan and we provided you with an update on the outstanding balance of $2,078.30. During this conversation, you indicated that you would be able to resume payments in March 2025. At that time, we once again encouraged you to submit proof of financial hardship, which could include overdue bills, medical expenses, pay stubs reflecting reduced income, or any other relevant documentation that could support your request. However, as of today, we have not received the necessary information to reassess your financial situation and determine if any modifications to your loan may be possible.
We want to assure you that our goal is to assist you in finding a manageable solution, but we do require your cooperation to proceed. The payment amounts previously discussed were based on the financial information provided at the time of your loan application. If you are still experiencing financial hardship, we encourage you to submit the requested documentation so that we can re-evaluate your options.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any further questions or to provide the necessary documents. We are here to help and look forward to working with you toward a resolution.Customer Answer

WLCC Lending BGL DBA ***** ***** Lending (“Company”) has completed its review of ******* ******** complaint. The Company takes these types of inquiries very seriously and appreciates the opportunity to respond. It is Tribal policy that all customer complaints be handled in a prompt and fair manner and customer satisfaction is our top priority. Be advised, nothing in this communication should be construed as a waiver of the Tribe’s or the Company’s sovereign immunity, all of which are expressly preserved.
ACCOUNT HISTORY/BACKGROUND
*** ****** took out a total of two loans with ***** ***** Lending over 2018-2019. For each of these loans, *** ****** was provided with a copy of his signed loan agreements which outlined the Truth in Lending Disclosures along with the Terms and Conditions of the Loan. His most recent loan was taken out on June 3rd 2019 and became past due in August of 2019. ***** ***** Lending has not contacted *** ****** regarding his account since March of 2021.
COMPLAINT & RESPONSE
The central drive of *** ******’s concern is that ***** ***** Lending’s loan terms are inconsistent with the laws of his home state. WLCC Lending BGL DBA ***** ***** Lending (The Company) is a subsidiary agency of the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation, an arm and entity of the Wakpamni Lake Community, which is a local tribal governmental subsidiary of the Oglala Sioux Indian Tribe located on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. This Company is wholly-owned and controlled by the tribe and was established for the tribe's benefit and formed pursuant to tribal law, thus sharing sovereign immunity and, therefore, is not subject to state laws and licensing. As a best Company practice, we willingly follow all applicable federal regulatory guidelines and federal consumer protection laws, as required by Tribal law. Since the inception of our business, we have yet to have a justified regulatory complaint. The Company is fully regulated by, and in compliance with, the consumer laws of the Oglala Sioux Tribe law. To that end, the interest and fees applicable to the loan are permitted by Tribal law and they were accurately and clearly reflected in each loan agreement that was signed before receiving the loan.
Customer satisfaction is paramount to ***** ***** Lending’s business and we have made every effort to accommodate each of *** ******’s requests during the course of his loans with us. Furthermore, in an effort to additionally resolve *** ******’s concerns, WLCC Lending BGL DBA ***** ***** Lending has waived the remaining balance and considers the loan paid in full. There are no further payments due. ***** ***** will not attempt to contact *** ****** in the future. We hope this resolves *** ******’s concerns. However, if he, or the BBB has any further questions, please contact our Tribal Compliance Department at ************ and ask to speak to our Compliance Manager.

This company gave me a loan for $300 that I did not sign anything for and I did not want. When I try to follow the link in an email they sent for payments it says my account doesn't exist. When I tried to reach out in email they would only respond if I sent a lot of my personal information which I was not comfortable with. I was not able to reach anyone through phone. This company charges ridiculous payment fees that I can't afford to be responsible for. I never signed anything wanting this loan.Business Response

I took out a loan from the business on 1/30/25. I've been trying to pay back the loan since I took it out because I no longer wish to have it. The payments/interest rate are too high. However, when I try to make a payment on the website there is no option to do. I've tried contacting the business and can't get a hold of anyone. The interest is raising the amount owed daily which isn't fair to me when I'm trying to pay the balance. I need help.Business Response

WLCC Lending DBA Enable Loans (Company) has completed its review of ******** ******* concerns. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, we want each customer to know how much we value them.

Be advised, nothing in this communication should be constructed as a waiver of the Tribe’s or the Company’s sovereign immunity, all of which are expressly preserved.
Dear ******** *******
We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to address your concerns regarding your recent loan with us. After a thorough review of your request, we would like to provide you with a summary of our findings and the steps taken to assist you.
Your loan was established on January 30, 2025, with $500.00 deposited into your PNC Bank checking account ending in 9809. Per your signed agreement, your biweekly payments of $211.46 were scheduled to begin on February 14, 2025, with the final payment due on April 25, 2025.
We understand that on January 30, 2025, you reached out via email stating that you were unable to log into your account to cancel your loan and that you wished to return the funds. Our agent responded promptly, providing you with a password reset link. When you indicated that the link was not working, a second reset link was sent with instructions that it was valid for one hour. Unfortunately, it appears that the issue persisted.
On February 2, 2025, you emailed again stating that you were attempting to pay off the loan, but the website was not providing the option to repay just the $500.00 principal amount. You also mentioned that when calling the number listed on our website, you were redirected to another company, which led you to believe you were being scammed, however you had successfully paid off three prior loans with us.
To assist you in resolving this matter, our Escalations Team personally attempted to contact you so we could manually process your $500.00 payment over the phone and cancel the loan. However, we were unable to reach you, and a voicemail was left requesting that you return our call so we could assist you.
On February 4, 2025, you sent another email stating that you had not received a response and that you were unable to afford the scheduled payments. You expressed distress over the accumulating interest and reiterated your desire to return the loan amount. Additionally, you mentioned that the phone number listed on our website was not working, though we did not receive confirmation of the number you were dialing.
In response, on the morning of February 6, 2025, our Customer Service Manager made four separate attempts to contact you at the phone number listed on your account, but each call went to voicemail. Later that day, you sent another email stating that no one had contacted you and that you intended to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) due to a lack of assistance.
As a courtesy, we will hold the interest on your loan until February 13, 2025, allowing you to repay only the principal amount of $500.00 without additional interest. If the payment is not received by this date, interest will be reinstated, and payments will be due per the terms of your contract.
To resolve this matter, we kindly ask that you call us at ***** ******** at your earliest convenience. Additionally, we have sent you an email requesting a preferred date and time for us to contact you directly to assist with processing your payment.Initial Complaint

To Whom It May Concern,
WLCC Lending DBA Enable Loans (Company) has completed its review of ******* ******** concerns. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, we want each customer to know how much we value them. The Company takes these types of inquiries very seriously and appreciates the opportunity to respond to you regarding ******* ******** concerns. Be advised, nothing in this communication should be constructed as a waiver of the Tribe’s or the Company’s sovereign immunity, all of which are expressly preserved.
We have carefully reviewed *** ********** inquiry regarding her current loan, which was established on December 27, 2024, for $500.00 and deposited into her *** ********* checking account ending in ****. The original contract outlined biweekly payments of $207.65, with the first payment scheduled for January 10, 2025, and the final payment set for March 21, 2025.
On January 7, 2025, *** ******** contacted us to express her inability to make the full first payment and requested to skip it. At that time, our agent advised her to make at least a partial payment and informed her that hardship options were available if she provided documentation to support her financial situation.
On January 23, 2025, *** ******** reached out via email, explaining that she had fallen on hard times and could no longer adhere to the original payment agreement. She requested to either reduce her payments to $100.00 per month or explore a settlement option. Again, our agent reiterated that we offer modification options but would require supporting documentation of her financial hardship. Based on the income and financial details provided at the time of the loan approval, the contracted biweekly payments were deemed affordable.
*** ******** indicated uncertainty about what documentation to provide but stated that her bills exceeded her income. She emphasized that a one-time payment reduction would not solve her situation and expressed consideration of seeking assistance from a debt management company or filing a complaint with the BBB. To assist her, our agent provided a detailed list of acceptable hardship documentation and also informed her of the option to revoke her ACH payments and make manual payments in amounts she could afford.
Ultimately, *** ******** declined to submit proof of hardship and chose not to revoke her ACH payments. She instead instructed the agent to process half of her next scheduled payment and stated she would determine her course of action for the following due date.
At Enable Loans, we strive to support our customers in times of financial difficulty. We offer loan modification options and are willing to work with *** ******** to adjust her payments; however, she must follow the process required for assistance.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this situation has caused and remain committed to finding a resolution. If *** ******** wishes to proceed with a modification, we can have one of our specialists reach out to her to collect the necessary information to begin the process.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: My lawyer stated that in the contract agreement, it does not state I must provide proof of why I can no longer afford my payments. I'm having surgery in May that's not covered by insurance that I need to have paid in full before surgery. I can't do that if I have over $400 a month being paid for a $500 loan! Who knew that the Indian Tribal Community just likes to take advantage of people and make more than double the money on a loan someone needed in a time of need and then your company keeps sending me loan offers for $1000 to refinance my current loan. I've emailed you telling you I don't want the loan, yet somehow I keep getting applied for it.

On 11/6/2024, I accepted a loan offer from Enable loans. I made the first two payments and received text messages saying that if funds are getting low, I can apple again. The first attempt to reapply was denied because of the previous loan. I still continued receiving text messages to apply and reapplied and was granted a new loan. I had not dowloaded the new agreement, so I don't remember what day it was, but I think the new agreemeent wam in the amoutn to make the amount of the final payment on the first loan plus the new loan equal $500 or $600.
I tried to go back into the website later, but since then, I get a message saying the User is unknown. If I tried to request a link to reset my password, I don't receive one, propably due to it saying my email is not recognized.
I tried again today and I still receive the same error when trying to access my account. So I tried calling the phone number provided on their website and in emails from them, and received a voicemail stating to hold while they connect me with someone. The message does not identify who you are calling. After about one minute, the message says that no one is available and to leave a voicemail. When it connects to the voicemail, the name provided that you are calling says a name that I cannot understand, but it definitely wasn't Enable Loans. I left a voicemail anyway asking for a return call. I also sent an email to them. As of this moment, I hae not received a response to my voicemail or email message. Because of this and not knowing how remembering what my payment is after the new loan due to not being able to download the new agreement , I fear I am being scammed, so I have requested my bank to stop the ACH payments until I can reach Enable Loans I receive a copy of the new agreement and regain access to my account.Business Response

A few months ago, we switched to monthly payments via check. For some reason, they decided not to include the weekly $72.35 payments made. But on January 13th, I mailed a check for the amount of $135. There are mailing records to prove that it was mailed to them on that date. I am now facing late fees because for some reason, they have not processed and posted the check. Their customer service never answers the phone. They have us wait on hold for 20 minutes and then hang up on us. When contacting them via email, they take an extremely long time responding. If and when they do, they do not attempt to resolve the issue at hand. Now, they've been trying to see if I mailed it to the correct address when I literally mailed it to the address they provided.Business Response
