Unethical marketing practices

How does this company know my email address if I've never done business with them? Totally unethical business marketing practices.

Stop sending me spam

The process required me to have a US social security number, which I don't. Fine. So I just didn't go through with it.

But Lendistry now keeps sending me spam to push me to finish my application. I have responded and told them why it's literally impossible for me to do so, but their representative clearly ignored the shit out of my email and kept sending me spam anyway.

The spam does not display any unsubscribe button. Instead, it reads "Please note: This is not a promotional email." lol yes it is you dipshits.

Tell you the truth the communication…

Tell you the truth the communication wasn’t clear if you’re going to work with this you need to have a broker or somebody to navigate this wasn’t fair on them because the policy had changed this year with the SBA Loans and required all the banks to have new software and new things Which made it very difficult. Right now I’m not sure how to pay the loan. I have to make a phone call this coming week to figure it out five star because they’re good people. I just don’t think it was fair on them or any other bank that was experiencing this shift of new policy. I am grateful For them in the process and making this happen.

Smooth Process and Great Service – Twice Now!

Alejandro V is simply the best! While other companies overwhelm you with paperwork when you need funding the most, Lendistry makes the process much smoother and more efficient. Yes, their interest rates are a bit higher, but they deliver when it counts. This is my second time working with them, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support during crucial times. Thank you for being there when it matters most!
