    This is a predatory lending company. Do NOT take a loan from them. We took a $1,000 loan in September 2024 and have paid to date over $4,000. WHAT A SCAM!!

    Was completely taken advantage of.

    Lawyer group has reached out to me and informed me that the 400-600% interest on the various loans I have taken out with Rise Up Lending was predatory. I was in a very difficult situation and did not realize just how bad of interest rates I signed up for. I still owe several thousand while I have paid this company thousands already.

    I called another installment company “Lendumo” customer service and the same individual answered both the Lendumo customer service and the Rise Up Lending customer service call. Which was incredibly alarming.

    I asked the company for any change in interest rate, offered to pay the principal in monthly installments instead of biweekly and the best they could do was a 15% discount on the 500% interest payment.

    Lawyer groups are informing me I should work with them and no longer be reaching out to this company any further looking for this company’s help. Lawyer group informed me they can help me get my money back I wasted on these morally ethnically and criminally high interest rates in the high hundreds I have been paying on these loans.

    These loans have nearly ruined my life. I just want my account closed as paid in full with them now and never do business with them again. If I can just get those loan closed I won’t pursue legal action on all of the interest I’ve paid with the numerous loans this company took advantage of me with for over a year now.

    This place is absolutly horrifying. I took a loan out because my car was broke down, It wasn't until I started paying on the loan that I realized I am paying way more than expected. The interest rate is over 700%. For a loan of $1000, I am paying over 500 a month. I am sick to my stomach. They don't tell you the interest rate up front. I am a single parent just getting by and they made my situation worse.

    This company should be banned! They purposefully lock customers out of their accounts so customers cannot see how much they have paid into the Predatory loan. Interest rates are well over 55% and you wont know until the loan is approved. This company preys on people that are in desperate emergencies! I will make it my duty to ensure that this company does not take advantage of people any longer!

    I live in the state of Georgia and they do not allow businesses (loans companies) to charge customers
    excessive fees for loans. I took
    out a $500 (391.34%) which equals
    to pay back of $3200. I took out loan
    in May 2024, and have paid $1015.00 from June 12,2024 to
    10/09/2024. They have me scheduled for (16 payments at
    $202.97 to September 2025. This
    is ludicrous. I was really thrown
    off by the length of this loan. I
    am asking for help in this matter!

    TRIBAL LEGALIZED LOAN SHARKS/THEFTS…
    TRIBAL LEGALIZED LOAN SHARKS/THEFTS (doing to everyone what was done to them) - I took out a $1,200 loan on 7/26/24 at $280.02 bi-weekly 568.46%. To date, I have paid $1,680 in 3 months, and I am being told my payoff balance is $1,246.54. If this loan goes the full term until 4/18/25, I would have paid $5,601.42. This, in my opinion, is legalized loan shark behavior/robbery, all aimed at the people who are struggling and desperate for help. The government allows these companies to do this as long as they can collect taxes from them. When there are enough complaints, they start under a different name, or they get hit with a class-action lawsuit. I called on 10/7 to ask them if they could help me with a settlement because after they debit my account every two weeks, I don't have money to live on. My loan is in good standing. They have collected the money I borrowed already and then some in 3 months. Rise Up waited after hours to call and tell me my request is denied and asked if I could do $1,100. I have emailed the tribal leaders and heard nothing. So, if they cannot help, it is time to get other people involved.

    I needed to rectify this before my next payment of 10/18/24. I was told it was escalated to upper management, which will take 15 to 30 days. It's disappointing to think what settlement takes 15 to 30 days to make on money you already received for $1,200. Another way to stack more fees and interest on what is owed. I was told if the payment was not made, collections would get involved. I'm not afraid of collections; having food in my stomach and a roof over my head are more urgent.

    I think it is time to get the FTC and Consumer Affairs involved.
