In an attempt to secure a loan with United Financial Education, my husband and I were told an upfront fee to fix certain "yellow flags" on our credit report would be needed. This $500 fee was for "processing". A loan was to be funded within two weeks, then four weeks, then six weeks, etc. Etc. I knew something didn't add up so I started to research the company. I requested information from them on numerous occasions as to their credibility and only got return phone calls attempting to reassure me they were legitimate. Never once were they able to supply me with any concrete evidence that they were an ethical company so I decided to do my own digging. When I confronted UFS with the facts that I found, they never responded except to call me a nuisance. Still no supporting information that they are a legitimate company... A nuisance is having to put in this much time and effort to make sure somebody else doesn't get ripped off like my husband and I would have. The bottom line is UFS would have taken our $500, strung out the time frame of when we would get said "loan" and come up with an excuse in the end as to why we didn't quality for it. It's a typical scam that is rampant on the Internet.
