The interest rate is ridiculous

The interest rate is ridiculous, but if I can do what I am planning, it will be paid off in half the time.

Hi Shelley!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us, and congratulations on getting everything set up!

We’re glad to hear you already have a plan in place to tackle the balance quickly. That kind of proactive approach can make a big difference. One of the nice benefits of the loan is that there are no prepayment penalties, so extra payments can help reduce your overall interest and shorten the life of the loan. Cheers to you for setting a goal to knock it out even faster!

The reason for my 1 star review is that they do go over what they are going to do with you. But what they fail to explain is that if you income doesnt match your denied automatically. The specialist stated to me to add as much as possible . I gave my four statements as asked but got denied due to cannot verified income. I told the guy im hourly and commission based, commission vary now if he would have told me make sure you add your commission statements. That still would have not verified due to commissions always being different. But if they would have asked my w2 that would have been exactly what I made. Im pretty disappointed with this company. If the opportunity present itself with them I will be tuning them down. Plus you figure 2 more years woth Beyong Program which is amazing I would recommend anyone to do it, but Above Lending i will not recommend.

The information they shared was clear, and they looked at options for payment plans and due dates.

I liked the flexibility in setting up a payment schedule based on a dollar amount I could meet on a monthly basis. I also liked that withdrawals were only once a month on a specific day of the month rather than the pattern of every other week, which sometimes means three payments in a month (especially if you get paid only once a month rather than weekly or every other week).

The service represetative was sincere.

The service represetative, Kiana in Chicago, was very sincere and helpful. At first, I declined Above's offer. But, Kiana called me back to follow up on my decision. It was primarily her interest in what she could do to help me that convinced me to go with Above. Thanks Kiana.
