After a devestating year, being a suddenly single new mother,still in college with a full time job, I got myself into a small financial pickle that would have been cleared up with a small personal loan but no banks would finance me due to my credit status. I tried other ways to get the money to no avail, then I received a call on 10/16/07, from a lady named Andrea, who told me to call her back at 866-201-6731 saying I was approved for a loan in the amount of $5000!.
I called right back asking how she got my info and she sd I applied online in September. I didn't remember this particular company but ... who knew? She said that I needed to fax her copies of my drivers license and social security card and a paycheck stub then she will email me the documents of the loan agreement to sign and fax back pages 4 and 5. The only thing was I had to pay an insurance premium of $989 USD and moneygram it to a Paul Wilson in ONTARIO, CANADA! For some reason the alarm didn't go off in my head that something was wrong with this. BUT I did it the next day and paid $14.95 then called back the number to reach Andrea to give her the reference # to the MONEYGRAM and she said my money will be in my checking acct in 3-6 hours.
The next day, still no money, and so I called and asked the man that answered about my acct and he sd that the lender is requiring an additional $695 USD to be sent and the money will be in my checking acct with an hour. I certainly didnt have that and went to ask my mother & she sd it didnt sound right and demanded I look this up on the BBB website and they are not registered as the guy sd they were. He just kept telling me to send the money & he doesnt understand why I would think this was a scam. I sure would have sent him more if my mom didnt make it click that real companies DO NOT ask for an upfront fee. I asked then for my money back and he sd I should have it back in about 4 weeks!
It took 15 minutes for him to get my money but a month for me to get a return....and I am still waiting. TO ALL of you desperate folks out there CERTIFIED LENDING IS NOT A REAL COMPANY. DONT SEND THEM ANYTHING OR THEY WILL RUN OFF WITH YOUR MONEY AND YOU WILL BE LEFT OWING MORE THAN YOU STARTED WITH!

Looks as if they are hip to our reports guys! I have tired to call and they have apparently either changed their number or got caught! If they did get caught, HANG THEM ALL BY THEIR TOES IN PUBLIC SQUARE!!! I told you these folks were SCAMMERS.

I recently called Certified Lending on 10/29/07 & I was transfrred to someone named Tracy and asked her if my refund for $989 was sent out yet. She said no because my refund is on hold since there was a report filed on this company by me and this is affecting their business. I then explained that it was no difference, pay me & the report will be updated that I was wrong, they are a valid company that refunds money when requested. She told me to remove it from this site & my check will be sent otherwise it will go to their legal department and on hold until it is resolved. I then gave her my atty's name & number for them to call. Basically, instead of a legitimate company trying to SAVE their name by honoring what they claim, they decide to make it worse by holding MY money because of a report filed on RIPOFF.com! Amazing isn't it? I don't know why they can't just tell the truth, "we stole your money & we have no intention at all of giving it back". At LEAST be honest about it, ya'll! d**n. They give any excuse not to give money back. SCAM SCAM SCAM. They must need it more than I do!
