      My experience with Funding Circle has been deeply concerning, and I am prepared to pursue legal action if the issues are not resolved immediately. Last year, I tried to pay off my loan in full, but they imposed unreasonable requirements, making it impossible to settle the debt despite having the cash. Their refusal to allow a simple payoff raises concerns about their business practices.Customer service is appalling. Representatives lacked fluency in English, and attempts to reach a manager were futile. Both ******* and ******* ******** were rude, argumentative, and even hung up on me during multiple calls.They have also charged my account for unauthorized double payments, resulting in overdraft fees, for which they are responsible. I will seek compensation for this and any other financial harm theyve caused.Their lack of transparencygiving conflicting balance information ($14,188 then $18,188)is highly suspicious. I no longer receive statements, making it impossible to track my account.If they dont resolve these issues, I plan to file a lawsuit for damages. I will also name the three CEOs based in ******, holding them accountable for the distress and financial harm Ive endured. I strongly urge others to avoid Funding Circle, as their operations seem deceptive and potentially unlawful.

      I contacted them by phone call and submitted an online finance application and provided the necessary documents, including bank statements, business tax returns, and personal tax returns.Despite numerous follow-up calls, the company assured me that someone would contact me soon but never did. To add to my frustration, they sent me promotional material by mail every week. It appears to be a fraudulent company, and I am highly dissatisfied, expressing my reluctance to give them even a single star.

      Good afternoon,

      We sincerely apologize for your poor experience. We acknowledge that you did not receive appropriate follow-up to your application previously and have since corrected this. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend credit to your business at this time; however, you should have received more prompt follow-up to your application submission.

      We have reached out to you directly by email to address your concerns in detail. We have also submitted your contact information to be removed from future marketing materials.

      Regards,

      Funding Circle

      Terrible experience. First of all I met all the minimum requirements. Theres nothing bad on my credit report. Everything on there is paid on time. My credit score is also good. No one even reached out to me to speak to me. I only received an email where they said they were unable to help me. Very unprofessional. I have my own business and it has been running for seven years. What a slap in the face.

      DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!!!!!!!!! they will steal all of your personal information and sell it off, and you can't get a hold of anyone, very FRUSTRATING. Save your time and peace of mind. Wrong business practices and should be shut down.

      Dear Sack, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We take great pride in delivering great customer service, so we were disappointed to hear that you were not satisfied with your experience. As stated in our Online Application, Funding Circle works with partners to offer loans. Applicants must agree to the sharing of their information with our lending partners before any information is shared with them by checking the consent box within the application that states Use my information to complete my application with Funding Circle or one of its partners. Working with lending partners allows Funding Circle to provide a greater variety of lending products and services to meet the needs of small businesses. Were sorry that we could not provide you with a loan offer at this time, but we wish you and your business all the best in the future.Sincerely,The Funding Circle Team

      Terrible. I sent an email several times since last October to access the *** Forgiveness Application. I kept receiving automatic email describing " You will receive a new email within the next week with an application link and the personal access code to access the application" and then I never got the actual invitation letter. I also tried to call them. They never got my phone. There is no way to communicate with them. Very disappointed and tired on this.
