OneMain Financial in Santa Clarita, California

VERY shady and intrusive loan shark. I filled out what I was told to be a noncommittal information application, provided proof of income, and made an appointment to simply check rates for a loan. When I went in for my appointment (before I even got to talk to the agent I had been working with all along) the Manager (Jerry) was calling my work desk, my supervisor, my HR Department, and my car insurance company attempting to inform them they’d be putting a lien against one of my cars for a loan and they needed information they were collecting on my behalf. I gave no such authorization. I only found out what he was doing because my insurance company called me to inform me that someone named Jerry was attempting to collect my information. At this point the agent I had talked to on the phone came in, told me the ballpark quote they gave me on the phone for interest was WAY off the mark without reason (+4%) and I told her what I discovered Jerry was up to. I was never going to get a loan with that high of an interest rate which I had told her the day before. Calling my place of employment repeatedly and telling my bank and insurance company that they were going to put a lien on my car without even showing me an interest rate or draft contract is nonsense. I would SERIOUSLY consider how much you need a loan before signing on with these people. I assure you that whatever they quote you on the phone to get you to come in or whatever they say they are going to use your personal information for is likely to be WAY off what they are planning in reality.

Super professional customer service.
