Real experiences from people who requested a personal loan through our lender network: approvals with bad credit, soft-check comparisons, next-day funding and the occasional four-star note about what we could do better.
My credit score is under 600 and I honestly expected a decline. I requested a $1,500 emergency loan on a Tuesday afternoon, got matched with a lender in minutes, e-signed that night, and the money was in my checking account the next morning. The APR was clearly shown before I signed anything.
Checking my loan options was a soft credit check only and my score did not move. I compared two offers for a $2,500 debt consolidation loan and picked the one with the lower rate and no origination fee.
Needed $800 for a car repair before payday and did not want a payday loan. Got a small installment loan at a reasonable rate with fixed monthly payments over 12 months.
True Finance never asked for anything up front. The loan agreement listed the APR, the monthly payment and the total cost, exactly as the lender promised.
Used it for a $3,000 dental bill insurance did not cover. Lender decision in minutes, money in two business days, and I can pay the loan off early with no prepayment penalty.
As a gig driver I do not have pay stubs. The lender accepted my bank statements as proof of income and approved a $2,000 loan the same day.
Fair credit, approved for $2,500 at a rate lower than my cards. Only reason for four stars is I wanted $4,000 and was offered less on the first loan.
Refinanced a $600 payday loan I had rolled over three times into a six-month installment loan. Total interest was less than one payday fee.
My only income is SSDI. The lender accepted my award letter and approved $700 with a payment I can afford. No pressure, no upfront fees.
First request for $5,000 with a 570 score was declined. Support suggested $2,000 and I was approved. Would have liked that guidance up front.
Every fee was in the agreement. Payments are reported and my score is up 40 points in five months.
North Carolina has fewer options. One lender made an offer for $1,200 at a fair rate. Took two business days to fund.
Borrowers receive one email invitation after a loan is funded, with links to Trustpilot, Google and the BBB. We do not pay for reviews.
Reviews appear as written, including three- and four-star notes. We remove only reviews that include personal financial details or abusive language.
"Verified" marks a reviewer whose request we can match to a funded loan. Opinions about lenders are the reviewer's own; lending decisions are made by the lender.
