    Busting their chops? I'm a bank compliance guy, I saw a comment related to compliance, I asked a question about their process and then gave my interpretation of a law. Never accused anyone of wrongdoing and never even addressed you. Then you want to come at me? If you think that's busting chops you've got some thin skin.

    You're a bank compliance guy? What's it to YOU, how Loan Me conducts business? That's all I'm asking.

    I'm interested in this industry in general and specifically how lenders manage due diligence legal and compliance issues with brokers. That's why I read this board. When I see a topic that is around those subjects, I may ask a question or provide my personal opinion based on my experience and knowledge. You have over 800 posts in a little over a year and you still haven't figured out how discussion forums work?

    Am I free to go, Mr. Forum Officer?

    Loans below 36% APR are allowed to be brokered. Unfortunately hardly any loans in our space are below that threshold (around a 1.19 factor for 12 months).

    Fun anecdote about LoanMe. My girlfriend told me that she has a loan with them and wanted me to take a look at it. I called and got some information.
    Original principal: $3,100
    Total Payments made: approximately $2,150
    Outstanding principal: $3,076

    Ouch...

    So? She signed the docs. She knew the deal. Why is this a fun anecdote?

    My heart breaks for these poor souls who were all too happy to take the money and spend it but don't want to pay it back on the mutually agreed to terms.

    WAHHHHHHH!!!

    Thank you Michael. We try to be as clear as possible disclosing all terms, rates, monthly payment amounts, etc. The point here is our terms are much longer which allows the borrowers to get a lower more affordable minimum monthly payment. They should borrow responsibly as discussed earlier in this thread.

    To do this borrowers can:
    1.) make minimum monthly payments for a short period of time (while they are turning the newly acquired loan into additional revenue) and then payoff the loan in full-stopping any future interest charges
    or 2.) making payments above and/or in addition to the minimum which are then applied straight to the principle balance. This lowers the principle balance interest is charged on, which saves them on interest.

    Try it our yourself here: www.loanme.com/loancalculator (scroll to the bottom for calculator)
    LoanMe rates and fees disclosed here: www.loanme.com/smallbusiness/Rates

    For those that say LoanMe rates are insane- Please check here www.nav.com Click on Education & Tools, then use some of the loan calculators to the right to find out APR on the MCA's you offer... ;-)

    Additionally there is a "How it works" section on our LoanMe Small Business Loan Website that is pretty clear.

    One thing we would like to also point out is LoanMe Consumer Loans are separate from LoanMe Business Loans. The staff behind the LoanMe name here on this forum, work in the Business Loan division. We believe Christian is referring to a Consumer Loan.

    Sounds like your GF is the hyphenated "dumb-ass" bud. Maybe she should read her loan docs before she signs them next time. Have fun paying it back.

    I'll take my dumb-ass 10 and leave you to old hags selected for their cunning financial acumen. Cheers and thanks for the valued contribution.

    "10", pfffft. If you said "8", you MAY have been believable, but now you've lost all credibility.

    Can someone confirm this wasn't a typo
    "A $10,600 loan will take 7 years of $840 monthly payments to repay, plus a $500 loan fee: a total cost of $71,060."

    That is correct.

    LoanMe is pretty insane with their interest rates.
