I was contacted out of the blue by this company called QC Holdings dept of so-call legal services...they tried to have me identified myself as the person they trying to pin this case number to. I ask what is this about, they could not articulate what this call was for but tried to get me to identify as the person they're trying to reach. I told them if you don't know who I am how did you get my name and number to call in the first place, once I said this coming off as fraud. They hung up the phone. I called them back and they knew it was me calling them again and they knew who was calling. Then they tried to bark off a case number, once again ask what is this for? They finally said something about a loan from 2014. I told them I never applied for a loan in 2014. They then said will I settle this case or they going to send it to St Louis County...I said send it the St Louis County and let's go to court, they hung up the phone. They didn't even say what the amount was or any other information.Business Response

I have a title loan through them and they are requesting that I provide screen shots for proof of residence on top of all the utilities bills I have sentBusiness Response
Date: 02/04/2025
On January 24, 2025, we received Mr. ****** ********* ** ******** from your office. Mr. G**e states that he was requested to provide “screen shots” for proof of residence after he was requested to provide utility bills.
Mr. G**e is a current customer of the Company. Mr. G**e originated a $4,500 title-secured line of credit from one of our Kansas branches on October 14, 2024. From origination, Mr. G**e did not make any required payments. On January 1, 2025, the line of credit was defaulted and the Company took action to secure its collateral, after proper notice was provided to the customer.
Following default, the customer contacted the Company’s collections department in an attempt to refinance his obligations. At such time, he made statements to the Company representatives that he was currently in Texas.
The Company is a state-licensed lender and does not provide products issued under one state’s license remotely to a consumer residing in another state. The customer stated that he was still a resident of Kansas. Therefore, Company personnel requested various methods of proof regarding residency to ensure the Company’s compliance with state lending laws.
When provided with some evidence of Kansas residency by the customer, there were several pieces of information that the Company could not verify. Additionally, due to the lack of payments made on the defaulted loan, the Company determined that it would decline the customer’s request for another loan.
The customer was mailed a Notice of Adverse Action regarding the decision and the matter is considered closed.

I was approved for a $3000 loan and the person I was dealing with keeps asking for more and more money. I have already paid $1,000 in various fees and he keeps telling me that it's all I need to pay. Now he is asking for another $280 for the funds to be released. I feel I am being scammed.Customer Answer

I actually did got a loan from Lend Nation and I can say that they are not lower the price and I will send you 2 pictures of that the loan was $400 an I paid will over $400Business Response
Date: 04/17/2024
It is unclear from the complaint what precisely the consumer has an issue with, but it appears to be the repayment amount. Our investigation revealed that on July 20, 2023, the consumer took out a line of credit at one of our Kansas branches. As part of that process, the consumer entered into a **** ** ****** Agreement and Account Opening Disclosures with the Company, wherein the consumer agreed to borrow $400 and repay it on a monthly basis at an APR of 269%. Interest accrues on the account throughout the month and the consumer is required to repay a minimum payment amount, which is equal to accrued interest plus 3% of the principal amount. The consumer has made several payments on the account. However, similar to a credit card, the monthly minimum amount due is the amount required to keep the line of credit in a “current” status. As disclosed in the agreement, payments greater than the “minimum amount due” are required to pay off the line of credit. In addition, on February 1, 2024, the consumer took another draw on the account for $65, which subsequently increased the amount due in subsequent payments. If the consumer is having difficulty with payments or has other questions regarding the account, we encourage them to contact a branch or our online team to explore alternative repayment options.Customer Answer

When looking at my credit report I noticed a negative account hurting my score that I had not noticed before,it states that I have a balance of $642 owed to 08 ********** ***** **** and the funny thing about it is that if they intended to try in some way scam me than you'd figured they might have used some intelligence into the time frame of this so called negative account balance that I with them "opened" on 3/05/2024 and "reported" on 3/15/2024 than that to me says that I was given approximately 10 days in which to pay the loan back and they sure didn't waste any time to issue it right before tax season was closing, I truly do not want to seek any compensation, only ask that it be removed and off of my report asap, thank you.Business Response

Upon receipt of this complaint, the Company immediately investigated. Our investigation revealed that the consumer took out a loan on August 9, 2019. That loan was issued by NCP Finance, with QC Financial Services of Texas, Inc. servicing the loan as a Credit Service Organization under the laws of Texas. That loan was not repaid and all collection efforts were exhausted. The account was sold to nationwide ******* ********* *** on August 6, 2020. The Company does not have visibility into ********** ******* ********, as it is unaffiliated with QC Holdings, but we have made them aware of the complaint.Initial Complaint

Re: Complaint ID: ********
Dear Consumer Relations,
On December 18, 2023, QC Financial Services, Inc. (“QC”) received a letter from the Better
Business Bureau of the Midwest Plains regarding a complaint filed by Mrs. ***** ********
relating to her installment loan with QC.
Mrs. ********’s complaint is twofold. First, Mrs. ******** states the payoff amount is “1800
plus” for her loan. Second, she states QC has used her husband’s card to withdraw payment.
On February 3, 2023, Mrs. ******** obtained an installment loan in the amount of $1,471.27 with
twelve payments scheduled monthly, beginning on March 15, 2023. The monthly payments are
$443.78. To date, all but the final two payments have been made. The December 15th payment was
not made and the January 15, 2024, payment is yet to come due.
As noted above, Mrs. ******** believes her final payoff amount is over $1,800.00. However, Mr.
********’s payoff amount at the time of this correspondence is $917.53. Her past due amount is
$443.78. Mrs. ******** can pay off her past due amount to bring her account out of "delinquency”
status to “current” status or pay off the remainder of the loan and close out the loan. As has been
the case throughout the course of the obligation, there is no penalty for early payoff.
As is noted in the attached copy of the first page of Mrs. ********’s contract, the Federal Truth-
in-Lending disclosure located prominently on the first page clearly indicates the finance charge and
the total due under the contract.
At the time that Mrs. ******** initiated the loan, she provided us with a debit card and provided
us with a recurring pre-authorization to utilize the card for payments. The authorized card was run
on consecutive days recently due to the payment being sent back due to insufficient funds. The two
attempts to withdraw the money almost equaled $900.00 because there were two attempts to
withdraw the single payment of $443.73, which is the regularly monthly scheduled payment.
If there are any additional open items, please contact QC. Contact information can be found in the
header above. QC is happy to discuss any part of this further.Initial Complaint

This complaint is directed towards LendNation in Madison, WI for their deceptive business practices, poor customer service, and rude employees.
I arranged a loan with *******, which was originally for 13 payments of $168 that she explained to me in person. However, the loan terms changed during the loan, and the number of payments and interest increased! After explaining this to another employee named ******, she was extremely rude and would not allow me to speak to *******, who I arranged the loan with. She told me nothing could be done and it’s not illegal for them to change their interest rates during the loan.
Additionally, store employees engage in harassing behavior by repeatedly calling, on occasion multiple times in one day!Business Response

On December 12, 2023, QC Financial Services, Inc. (“QC”) received a letter from the Better
Business Bureau of the Midwest Plains regarding a complaint filed by Mr. ***** **** relating to
his refinanced installment loan with QC.
On December 11, 2023, Mr. **** called into the branch and stated he was unaware of the thirtynine-payment schedule and believed the loan to be thirteen payments.
Mr. ****** original loan is from October 19, 2022. He has refinanced on two occasions. Mr. ******
most recent refinanced loan is dated June 20, 2023. At this time, he signed a refinanced with QC in
the amount of $1,567.17. He currently owes $1,915.63.
On the first page of the most recent agreement, labeled “Consumer Installment Loan Agreement”,
the federally mandated Truth-In- Lending Disclosures are listed. The listed items include: the
annual percentage rate, finance charge, the amount financed, the total amount of payments and the
number of installment payments. The rates and payments are clearly and conspicuously displayed.
Throughout the written contract, these terms and repayment schedules are clearly stated several
times. Although not a part of the actual contract, the last two pages of the contract consist of the
Loan Repayment Schedule, which is included for greater clarity to the customer. This schedule lists
the number of payments, the due date, the payment amount, and a breakdown of principal verses
interest allocated for each payment.
The first payment for this new refinanced loan was due on June 30, 2023. The biweekly installment
payments started two weeks later. The payments will end on December 13, 2024. Mr. **** has
missed several payments throughout his loan history with QC but would make his payments late or
within a reasonable time. However, in mid-November and early December, Mr. **** missed two
of his biweekly payments and has not caught up.Thank you,

Dear Consumer Relations,
On December 12, 2023, QC Financial Services, Inc. (“QC”) received a letter from the Better
Business Bureau of the Midwest Plains regarding a complaint filed by Mr. ***** **** relating to
his refinanced installment loan with QC. On December 18, 2023, QC received a rejection of QC’s
response to the original complaint.
Mr. ****** complaint is that his payment amount for his biweekly payment went up, therefore, his
number of payments should go down. Again, Mr. ****** original loan is from October 19, 2022,
when he received a payout of $400.00. His biweekly payments were determined to be in the amount
of $49.08. There were 39 total payments on this plan.
On January 12, 2023, Mr. **** refinanced for the first time. Mr. **** still owed $446.53 on his
original loan. Mr. **** decided to take out another $500.0 and refinance his existing loan. As such,
Mr. **** then owed $946.53 on his refinanced loan. His biweekly payments were in the amount of
$101.88. There were 39 total payments on this plan.
Mr. ****** most recently refinanced his loan on June 20, 2023. At this time, he still owed $885.38.
Mr. **** elected to take out an additional $681.79. The total for Mr. ****** loan at this point was
$1,567.17. His biweekly payments are $168.68. There are 39 total payments on this loan.
As stated in our prior response, throughout the written contract, these terms and repayment
schedules are clearly stated several times. Although not a part of the actual contract, the last two
pages of the contract consist of the Loan Repayment Schedule, which is included for greater clarity
to the customer. This schedule lists the number of payments, the due date, the payment amount,
and a breakdown of principal verses interest allocated for each payment.
Mr. **** is now several payments behind, and his total payoff amount is $1,979.43. He is in
delinquent status and needs to make a payment of $581.92 to become current with his loan
payments. Mr. **** needs to call in to our office and discuss a payment arrangement.
If there are any additional open items, please contact QC. Contact information can be found in the
