Brittney

Brittney was the most helpful and patient Customer Service Agent I have ever had. As a retired teacher and school administrator, I have dealt with people of all personalities. She is so kind and provided a very detailed support. She is the reason I was able to complete my application form. I have NEVER had the experience to get such exceptional support as I did today. Her calm demeanor and patience is commended!

Jumping through hoops

Got a loan, $200, had already did the bank verification and steps … I even paid it off early…. I immediately applied for another loan and I’ve gone through two days of hell with them treating me like they need to verify all the information, they already have… it’s more trouble that it’s worth

Thank you for reaching out to us, Gabriel, 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.

Natalie was so helpful as was Steve

Natalie was so helpful as was Steve. There was someone who helped on Thursday that was not only rude but gave me the wrong information. When I asked for a manager or supervisor she remarked with frustration “?I am a manager. I am a supervisor”. Steve and Natalie saved my sanity. They were so kind and understanding. I wouldn’t need the loan if it was not an emergency. I was panicked as they both solved my issue with kindness and understanding. Thank you.
