Maxlend is definitely a total ripoff. They arent really about trying to help you out tough situations. They are nothing more than ************** sharks. I borrowed ***** & by the time I had the money to pay it off I owe two to 3 times what I borrowed. I barely had it a month. Total ripoff. Once I pay it off I wont go back to thieves. I dont know how owners can sleep at night ripping people off. The government needs to monitor them better.Maxlend

************* offering predatory loans to vulnerable people. Took out a $700 loan July 17, 2024 and to date *** paid $1,905.71 towards this loan with the remaining payments totaling $1,536.71 for a total of $3,442.42. I can pay it off in full but even after the $1,905.71 it would still require a payment of $768.98 (more than the original loan amount). There are plenty of online loan being offered and I would definitely suggest using a different one and reading the fine print especially since Maxlend has you unknowingly sign away your rights to sue them or participate in any kind of class action lawsuit. They do this because they know what they are doing is wrong but dont want to face any repercussions once you realize.Maxlend

If I could give ZERO stars I would! This loan company is a scam! Who gives people a loan when theyre clearly going through hardship && charge them 700%APR?! No where in the application did it say this because who in their right mind would agree to this. Make sure you READ the fine print! I would never recommend this company to anyone! I got a loan for $400, was supposed to be paid off last payment. When I received an email stating about an upcoming payment I was super confused! So I called then was informed about the 700%, that should be illegal! So Im paying $1600 on a $400 loan. So basically I have to give them an extra $400 for them to close it how pathetic! I hope this company goes into the ground. Now I see why you cant take legal action in the contract because then EVERYONE would be taking them to court! Absolutely disgusting!!Maxlend

It is my firm position that Maxlend operates as a predatory loan institution. I entered into a loan agreement with Maxlend on August 23, 2024, for the principal amount of $1,425.00. As of December 6, 2024, I have already paid $2,457.97 towards this loan, having never missed a payment. By the time my loan is fully repaid on May 16, 2025, I will have paid a staggering $6,399.45an amount more than 4.5 times the original principaldue solely to Maxlends exorbitantly high and predatory interest rates.Given these alarming figures, I contacted Maxlend on December 6, 2024, to determine the full payoff amount if I were to close the account in full on January 10, 2024. The representative informed me that the payoff amount would be $1,374.00. However, when I cross-referenced this information with my account chart available on their website, it contradicted the figure provided. When I pointed this out, the representatives tone noticeably shifted, and she was unable to clarify or explain the discrepancy. This interaction raised significant concerns regarding the transparency and integrity of Maxlends operations. Following this troubling conversation, I reviewed complaints about Maxlend filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). I was not surprised to find that my experience mirrors countless other complaints detailing similar issues with predatory interest rates, unclear communication, and questionable practices. Given the above, I am now pursuing all available actions to terminate this loan agreement and to assist others who have been similarly exploited by Maxlends predatory practices. Exploiting individuals in dire financial situations is morally reprehensible, and I will not remain silent in the face of such unethical conduct. I urge others to take a stand against Maxlends abusive practices and will be actively working to address these systemic issues through the appropriate legal and regulatory channels.Maxlend

BBB has Maxlend as a Non-Accredited Business. I see why. Max lend should NOT be in business at all. On a $1400 dollar loan-if carried to completion, you would be paying back over $6000 dollars. Thats insane and Maxlend should have a class action lawsuit against them. The Reps are great and a pleasure to speak with, which is why they only get two stars. Please dont do business with them, youll hurt yourself more. If you are paid on Fridays they deduct midnight Thursday going into Friday . I called to let them know I didnt authorize this my email . I was told they would deduct that amount the same time every 2 weeks ! I will return the $1400 then pay their fee . They will not ***** 4500 from me ! They hurt people! Mislead people and are so rapid in their communication you get stuck fast ! They should be shut down permanently .Maxlend

I am making bi-weekly payments in the amount of $490.00 for a $2,800 loan. After completing the loan I will have paid a total of $9,800. I am unable to keep up with payments and need a long term solution. If someone could please help advise, I am trying to avoid defaulting my account but I have no other options.
