Hi Rhonda!

Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re really sorry for the confusion around the loan amount and where the funds were going.

With this type of loan, the funds are sent to your debt resolution program’s account to help move your enrolled accounts forward more quickly, rather than going directly to your bank. After settlements are completed and any debt resolution fees are applied, any remaining funds may be returned to you by the program if there’s a balance left.

That said, we’d be more than happy to take a closer look at your situation and walk you through how to request those funds back through your program if that’s what you’d like to do.

Please reach out to us as soon as possible at customercare@abovelending.com or (800) 201-2295 and we’ll help guide you through it.
