WARNING BE SURE TO REVIEW THE APR

WARNING BE SURE TO REVIEW THE APR. I have the funds to cover the loan amount of $700, I was just trying to build credit. My credit score is also 730, I also put a 30k car down as collateral. They had in small writing at the very bottom that the APR is 673%, totaling to around 4k for a 700 dollar loan.

Hi Seth, thank you for reaching out. We are always here to help.

We are firmly committed to ensuring that our customers have a clear understanding of the fact that this is an expensive form of borrowing. As such, we make it a top priority to provide them with a comprehensive breakdown of our rates and terms, while also providing full disclosure on all fees associated with the loan well before originating the loan. Our goal is to ensure that our customers are fully informed and equipped to make informed decisions regarding their borrowing needs, while also fostering a culture of transparency and trust in all our dealings.

We strongly encourage our customers to take advantage of our no pre-payment penalty policy by paying off their loan early. Doing so will result in substantial savings on interest charges. Additionally, customers have the option to make additional payments towards the principal balance of the loan, which can help reduce the overall cost of borrowing. We believe that these options provide our customers with greater flexibility and control over their finances.

Reviewing your account, we see that we attempted to reach you to resolve this matter but were unsuccessful. Please feel free to contact us directly at feedback@rivervalleyloans.com or (833) 987-4837 at your earliest convenience so we may resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Quick and helpful when absolutely needed

Honestly, super fast and easy and didn't have to talk to anyone. Much better than any other installment loan place and they give bigger amounts. BUT, BE ABSOLUTELY CAREFUL!! This isn't your run-of-the-mill loan. Pay it back ASAP and you're good. If not, APR will get you... FAST!!
