I applied for an unsecured personal loan through Bentley Fiancial Services. They contacted me and said I was approved but in order to loan me the money because of my credit history I would have to purchase insurance on the loan upfront for $950.00. They faxed me over the paperwork for the loan and the disclosure for the Insurance I had to purchase stating that if I sent the $950 I would receive my loan in 24 hours.
I sent the money Western Union on a Friday to Canada and I was supposed to receive my loan in 24 hours directly into my checking account. I never got the money, so I started leaving messages for my contact there Kathryn Diaz.
Four days later I finally recieve a call back from Bentley Financial that the reason I didn't get my money was that their investor was requiring an additonal deposit from me for $450, this of course after I had already signed all the paperwork saying that I would receive my loan after my deposit of $950.
Needless to say I was very unhappy, and I was unable to get them to pay the fee for me since they didn't do what they had promised to do. I asked for them to send me a refund of my money, and they said it would take 4 to 5 weeks for me to get it, after I had to jump through hoops to get it to them ASAP! And then they just wanted more money out of me, I can only imagine what they would have done if I would have sent them more money. Would they just have kept changing the rules? Needless to say I am out $1028 over all that is supposidly coming back to me whenever they deam necessary, and I didn't get my loan.
I did some research on this company they are supposed to be members of the BBB but the BBB reports that they mailed something to the address and it was returned to them by the post office as undeliverable??? Borrowers BEWARE I was told by this company that they receive over 100 applictions a day or something, HOW many others have they done this to and no one has reported it!
