Good Company

I applied here in Fairstone and they help me with what I needed and even give me options just to help with my application.
Service and staffs are professional and helpful. I also recommend them to my friends in need like me. They also flexible to do changes in your payments depends on what you wanted and they will accommodate that.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND BE SAFE

Honestly everyone this is from experience dont even think about getting a loan from this company. Once you are in they will kill you with interest and we will think its temporary i can manage but trust me 34% interest you will be their slave and make no mistake if you miss they will have no mercy. They will talk to you as if they are your best buddy and you will hear so many promises and things like that. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOAN SHARKS

Everything was professional and…

Everything was professional and exceptional , dealing inhouse with staff . Absolutely no issues .

My only peeve is a simple one :
acessible contact ,
difficult to call and reach staff ,
and appareny company decision
not to be able to contact via email or cell text .

Suggestion to resolve this one issue !

check out Whatsapp for Freedom Mobile

Am able to chat with someone at FM
quickly and efficiently . Problem always resolved .

This is not a "knock" again the staff at FSF .
It seems to be a higher up management decision .

Thanks

I had a great experience with Fairstone…

I had a great experience with Fairstone from start to finish. I was a bit unsure going in, but the team made the process simple and easy to understand. The application was processed quickly, and I was impressed by how smoothly everything went. They took the time to answer my questions, offered helpful advice without making me feel pressured, and helped me find payment options that fit my budget. I wouldn't hesitate to use Fairstone again or recommend them to anyone looking for a straightforward lending experience

Fairstone helped me out in my time of need. They offered guidance on improving my credit score. They were kind and nonjudgemental. All staff treated me with respect and kindness. When I went to pay out my loan early, they didn't try to upsell me on a new loan. They congratulated me on early pay out

Honestly

Honestly, I was in a bad predicament, and I needed help immediately.Did you just pop up and nowhere. Wow , how convenient , how amazing how current how understanding and how easily it is to get approved.... It's intimate, they use it in what you have and a balance.What they can give you from what you can afford to pay.Honestly, this is the best company in the world.Thank you so much for making a difference in my life.I don't know what I would do without them💓

It is fast and easy to get a loan

It is fast and easy to get a loan. But at what cost? High interest rates like 34.99%. With a good credit rating . And will not work with you to get interest rate down lower. $8000.00 loan over a year and a half. Closer to 14000.00 still owing.
