We have been looking for a loan to repair a car. The Hudson Lending Company called us and told us that they have our paperwork from us placing a request on-line. They told us that we were approved and they just wanted something to secure the loan.
They told my wife that they could do the loan if we sent the first 6 payments of $200 and some change to secure the loan since we had nothing else to give them to secure the loan. This payment would be used for the first six payments, which make no sense for it to be to secure the loan then.
I got a weird feeling so started to research the company. There address was suppose to be 94 church St. New Brunswick, NJ 08901. I looked that address up and found nothing like that in the office building. I then looked up the phone numbers and found that there fax number was listed for around the corner from that office building and that the phone number was listed in Newark NJ.
I called all the other offices in the building and asked if they have ever heard of the Hudson Lending group and found that no one has heard of them. I then asked if one of them would go to Suite 203 where they said they were located and found that a church group has just moved in there after that suite being empty for some time.
I called A April Nelson back to tell them my finding and they got a bit upset that I would even be saying that about them. She insisted that this was all a mistake and would keep the file open until my wife called herself since it was in her name.
Even after being caught, they are still trying to make money off of honest people. We did call the local police and they can not do anything unless they took something from us. Since I never paid they can not do anything.
If anyone reads this and did give this group Money, please call the New Brunswick police department and file a report. I will be glad to assist anyway I can. This stuff really upsets me with the way the economy is, that people would try to make hard working people lifes even harder.
