I was looking for a small loan for car repair and was contacted by an Individual who was said to represent a company called lending club. I did my research and the company is a real. He said his name was Eric Watson. I was asked who I bank with, passwords, youngest child's name, SS#, account #, routing number, address, and lots more. He then said he was sending me $225.00 as good faith and for me to go to a store, purchase only certain gift cards then put that $225 on the card and give him the card #. When he received it then the loan amount would be put in my account. It's been three days since this incident and my bank account had been closed by the bank, I was told I needed to speak with security, my life has been turned upside down and still dealing with the aftermath.

Lending Club is a scam loan business. They'll approve you for a loan and try to get all your banking information. They will send a loan document but it's all a scam.

He used texting as preferred contact. Asked for bank information and personal info in order to give me a 5000.00 loan at 8% for 36 mos. But when he was supposedly depositing the money in my account my bank caught him trying to log into the account at the same time. Now my account is froze and the bank wants me to "provide a receipt showing I had my phone cleaned" before we can work on my account again.

I applied for a loan online, I got a call back from a man with an accent. He said Lending Club would give me a $10,000 loan. I gave him my checking account and routing number.

I have been trying to find debt consolidation to get out of a bad financial situation. I applied to several accredited companies. I got a call from a woman posing as a loan officer from lending club. I had been trying to get a loan from that company so I took the bait. I gave bank information to receive the loan. Luckily my bank caught it and shut the account down. Now I have to speak with a manager to see if they will allow me to bank with them anymore. This is not what I needed at a time of financial crisis. These people prey on hard working individuals when they are at their weakest. Now I have to tell my daughters we probably won’t get to go anywhere this summer.

Scammer offers a loan of various sums, with a low APR. In signing the agreement, you are required to give your bank user name and password. Th e-mail comes from a John Adams, but the loan officer is Jerry Brown.

So as you all know when we are down and need a little bit of help these people come out of the woodworks like nobody's business. It is company's like these that put a bad name out for the good ones. Lending Club is a joke and a scam artist they sound and act like they are in it for your best interest but they are not. This company told me that I needed to send them back the loan documents signed then when calling Alex Cooper back which is the gentleman to whom i have been speaking with to confirm he received singed documents he told me that i needed to send him a copy of my drivers license. After completing that task he informed me that he needed my login username and password into my business checking account which is the account i was going to use to deposit the funds into . In doing so they managed to file a claim to have three of my transactions reversed on my account for items that have been paid to these company's just to tell me that i needed to send them on $1,000 of the $1143 they managed to get reversed. So when confronting Alex he transfers me over to his finance manager and he tells me that they reversed the charges because the company has been paid twice and to just send them the money via cash app lol oh and to then threaten me over text message! Not only did i change my password i deleted their device off my allowed devices list reported it to my bank but also reporting it here as well as the FTC. Please everyone be aware that if it sounds too good to be true more than likely it is, but that's not entirely true for all things in life keep that in mind as well. Hope this helps and as for lending club i will not just stop with just the bbb and the ftc i will shut you down for what you are doing and yall should be ashamed of yourself trying to get over on people.

I have had an account Loan with Lending Club For the past two years and I’ve never had an issue with them you are obviously not dealing with the real Lending Club. They did not scam me. I’ve had a great great and haven’t had any issues. You were dealing with Lending Club.

MY CREDIT IS RUINED. I replied to an email offer for a loan. I received an email stating I was approved and would get the money in 2-3 business days. On April 17 Lending Club sent me a "congratulations, your $24,000 is ready to spend!". It was NOT DEPOSITED INTO MY ACCOUNT AND I'VE SENT EMAILS DAILY TELLING THEM. I get a "thanks for contacting us. We'll get back to you soon". They will commence taking $730 a month from my checking account to "repay the $24,000". They have no phone number. You can't cancel the loan. My credit is ruined.

They contacted me via text and had me pay for a loan, they then deposited it in my account. Then they took the amount back which was not the correct amount they promised and got my bank account closed. I payed $1200 in Apple Card’s and they have since changed the phone number

Over Christmas and throughout New Years and ending in the first week of January I was in search of a small personal loan. I used Lending Tree to check a broad range of offers. I didn't receive many but received a phone call from an alleged associate of Lending Club. The address matched, his phone number was local and he even sent documentation for me to fill out and apply. They initiated an initial deposit into my checking account and once I made 6 consecutive loan payments they would deposit the second half of the loan, "helping me build my credit and establishing a good faith relationship". I will say I had some doubts but looked into the phone number address and question this lender for his credibility. Everything kept checking out and so I agreed and they deposited the first installment. Lucky for me my bank caught it as suspicious activity and locked me out of my account. The funds were never there and the individual deposited a check into my account using my credentials and or reset my username and password for my online banking log in. Either way it was fraudulently deposited check and they now have my personal information that I have since pass protected and locked as much as I can.

A scam company pretending to be the lending company lendingclub told me I was approved for a loan of 3000, 5000 or 8957. They sent documents to sign and I was told that since my checking account balance was overdrawn, they would put deposit a check of $1,995.00 so it would boost my credit score and give me a better chance of getting a loan approved. The loan was supposed to be for 5000. It turns out they deposited a bogus check in the amount of $1,995 in my checking account which I was immediately flagged for and now my checking account is currently closed and under review. I was told I have to get a new checking account now because of these scamming individuals who put a bogus check in my checking account. He said his name is Charlie Adams. He has 2 different phone numbers. 1-888-651-2257 and 1-845-277-7917. He and others who work there were trying to access my checking account while I was on the phone with them. I reported them to my bank Santander. I provided all the documentation they sent me. I do not want them getting away with this. They scammed me and have caused a great deal of stress and anger. Again, I reported this to Santander Bank but I wanted to report this to you as well. Thank you for your time.

On August 10, 2021, received an email & loan document with loan officer signature & emblem of BBB.com & FDIC on the document from [email protected] of lending club, telling me that I have been approved for a loan & tocall #1-845-377-0221 or 1-934-888-3040, so I emailed back saying I was interested & gave my phone#. Kevin Roger called me back, telling me I was approved for an $8,786 loan @2.99% interest for four years. I was so happy &thought this was an answer to prayer that I can finally pay off my credit card bills. The loan document looked so legitimate. Kevin Rogers told me they need to make a deposit in my bank account to see if I have a legitimate account& I can be trusted. The deposit will be made tonight & tomorrow I can wire them back the deposited amount. So, being so naive & gullible, I gave my bank information. The next day, August 11, 2021(Wednesday), I checked my bank account & there was a deposit of $887.86. Kevin Rogers called me to tell me to go to Walmart to buy gift cards. I asked why am I not using Western Union to wire him back the money, he said it’s not working on their side. I asked a Walmart cashier for gift cards to buy, the cashier told me there is a scam regarding gift cards. All this time I was on the phone with Kevin Rogers, he assured me this is not a scam & Walmart just want to make money out of their other financial services. I was so stupid to believe him. This should have been a red flag for me & believed the Walmart cashier. I was able to buy play store gift cards at Foodland (Ala Moana, Hawai’i). I gave him the PIN numbers on the gift cards & told me in one to two hours a loan deposit will be made in my account, which never did happen & never heard from Kevin again. When I called the numbers they called from, I could not talk to a live person, only voicemail. So I closed my bank accounts that I gave to Kevin. On August 17, 2021(Tuesday), an employee of my bank notified me that the deposit of $887.86 that lending club deposited in my account on 8/10/2021 was returned & not paid. Also, According to the bank, the check was fictitious & altered. The check was under: (Travel insured international, inc.). The check was made out to me & someone signed it for me. I had to pay the bank the $887.86 because I bought the gift cards for 887.86 thinking it was to return the money, so I can get the loan. I will be more careful now in giving out my personal information. This really affected me financially because I live on a fixed income of $800 a month & now I am left without any savings or extra money for emergencies which I was saving for. I pray no one like me who is poor will be victimized.

I applied on line for a loan that checks numerous loan companies and I was matched with the lending club. Which I checked prior to giving my information and their reviews were good. I filled out the information that was sent to my phone, including bank information and social. They then had me sign a loan contract and said they would send me 1000 and I was to send it back if I didn’t they would take 3000 out of my account. I told them I wanted to cancel the loan, and they said no. When calling the number they called me from they were rude, barely able to speak English, I mean no offense, they definitely were not from this country. Luckily I didn’t follow through not only would I lose a initial 1000 I would have lost another 5000 after they deposited it my account and were able to withdraw as they had all of my information. They also wanted 2000 for credit repair. I realized a little to late it wasn’t the real Lending Club.

I was contacted by Jacob ********* from Lending Club stating I was approved for a up to $40,000. I given my information and he continue to state they are a reputable company. I reviewed the website and it seemed legitimate. I continued on. He stated I need to pay $200 in insurance to proceed with the loan. It had to be paid by a pre-paid American Express credit card that I should not register, they would do that. Then, received a call from him stating that I need to pay the taxes ($300) the same way. Last night, he stated it would be deposited this morning. It was not. He called to say I need to pay a debt to Speedy cash in the amount of $500 for the loan to be released by the FDIC. When I all Speedy cash at the number on their website, they stated I had no business with them. I called the police to file a report. I am out the $500 that was already given to them.
