I REQUESTED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND…
I REQUESTED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND DID NOT RECEIVE IT. INSTEAD, I RECEIVED $175 FROM A $200 LOAN. I HAVE BEEN MAKING PAYMENTS EVERY OTHER THURSDAY IN THE AMOUNT OF $59.24, FOR A TOTALED AMOUNT PAID OF $182.66. TODAY, MARCH 5, 2022 I WAS TOLD THAT MY LOAN IS SET UP TO BE PAID OFF IN 01/23 TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BACK FOR THE $200 WILL BE $1,533 WITH A FINANCE FEE OF $1,333 !!! THIS IS TOTALLY LUDACRIS TO HAVE A PERSON PAY BACK OVER $1400 FOR A $200 LOAN. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO PAY THE LOAN AND THE REPRESENTATIVE IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY $217 BY MONDAY ALTHOUGH $59.24 WAS DEDUCTED FROM MY ACCOUNT ON THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2022, OR I HAVE TO PAY $259.24 ON MARCH 17, 2022!!! EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THIS SERVICE...CONSIDERING THIS COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE THE CERTIFICATE TO EVEN OPERATE THIS LOAN COMPANY I WILL DEFINITELY DO MY PART IN MAKING SURE THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET ANY KIND OF CERTIFICATE TO OPERATE LEGITLY !!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY !!! WHY DOES A COMPANY HAVE GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW ABOUT LEAVING A REVIEW????? FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHT??????

I don't know why I have to pay $143…
I don't know why I have to pay $143 every week on a $975 loan for one year. In my calculations I will have to pay $7,458.88. I don't know how much I have paid, I don't know how much I owe.

Dear Jacob,
We are sorry for any inconvenience that you've had encountered.
Before we fund a loan, we advise our customers to either pay off the loan in full or to pay as much as you can in order to reduce the principal (original debt incurred) as quickly as possible in order to minimize the total cost of the loan. Additionally, we do not charge any prepayment penalties when you pay your loan early.
If you go to our website under Frequently Asked Questions, we provide our customers with answers that may address your concern.
We also provide them special notices like ""These loans are designed to assist you in meeting your short-term financial needs, and it is not intended to be a long-term financial solution.""
First Loan is committed to promptly resolving customers' issue. If your concern is still not resolved, kindly contact us at (888)-625-8292 so we can best assist you.

I read the paperwork
I read the paperwork, it stated monthly...not weekly, the while purpose of taking the loan was because I was falling behind on some things, and then to have close to 100 dollars taken weekly, I'm still behind...horrible company, once this is paid I will never use them again, and will definitely put a review on the site and everywhere I can to warn people of this company...
