I too am a current victum of metro lending group. I was told I was approved for $25000.00 and had to pay for 6 months worth of payments upfront as collateral. I was told to wire the money at a moneygram located in walmart to a person named Jennifer holbrook in canada. I was to receive the money the next day in my account. I really wanted to beleive that the loan was real because I really needed the money. The next day instead of getting my money I got a call from a new person named James hogan. He said that the bank wanted an additional 6 months worth of payments to secure the loan. I had completed a contract via fax and should have known better. I came up with the money, some of which was barrowed from a friend. So now there is a good friend who I have to pay back. I sent the additioanl money and was to receive the money in my account on christimas eve.instead of money I received a phone call saying that the lender had backed out and that they had a new lender waiting for me but that they would only lend me $50000.00 and that they would give me a longer term to keep the payment low. I was also told that I would have to come up with 2 yrs of payments upfront. I told them I could not and they said that they would cancel the contract and refund me the now $5800.00 that I had given them. They say I will have the money on january 20th. I highly doubt it!!! Please do not do business with this company!!! I have filed a complaint with the new jersey BBB today and have also contacted the FBI in New jersey as well.
