I'm new to the credit game with absolutely no debt and in my late 30s. This lender didn't take two seconds to deny me a small dollar loan to help establish my credit but sure claims they will.Completly aggravated me and wasn't worth my time at all .Very unhappy.

Outrageous fees
This lender offered me a smaller loan I did not accept because the interest rate was outrageous and I have pretty steady credit

It was real quick in getting the loan. How ever the annual percentage rate is very high. I will be looking to find a better percentage rate.

Great in a pinch
Avant saved me $917 that I would have had to pay in interest because my 0% promotion with Pacific Sales was ending and I didn't have the promotional balance to pay until two weeks after it was due. Avant was fast and they have no $100 upfront fee like Lending Club, but the interest rate is very high, so I paid the loan off in full the minute I could to avoid being back in the same boat of paying too much interest. So, I recommend them if you are in a pinch and need to avoid a high interest on a credit card promotion that is expiring, but I also recommend you pay them off fast or you will pay too much interest.

Interest really high
I've paid over $1200 for a $6000 loan to date yet my current balance is only at just over $5400, these guys take more in interest than actual payment

Poor System
I got a pre approval letter in the mail for a loan. Since I am trying to pay for some final things on my wedding, I went ahead and applied for it. It came back saying that I was pre approved for 13,500. But you could decrease that amount which I did since I did not need anywhere near that amount. The interest rate was no higher than a lot of credit cards (36%), so I read and signed the contract and then I submitted my bank information for payments. When I hit submit, it came back saying the system was down. So I called, they said to just check back after a couple hours. When I did, it came up saying I had been pre-approved for a credit line of 3600. Ummm, what about the loan I applied for? Checked my email, and had an email denying me the loan I had already signed a contract for and given my bank account info for...sketchy! So I call and I'm told that I was not approved for the loan, but was again pre approved for this line of credit. So still needing the money, I decided to do it (interest rate is now stupid at 60%, but I figure the wedding is less than 2 months away, and afterwards I'll just pay off the credit line). So again, I sign the contract and it takes me to a page wanting to verify my income. You can either give them your banking login information (SUPER SKETCHY!) or you can upload your pay stub. That option doesn't work, so again, I call, and I'm told it's best just to give the login info. I decline and then they state that actually there is no verification documents needed from me. I joked that they must have decided to decline the line of credit since I was refusing to give them access to my bank account. I was told I would hear from them within 24 hours. So I guess we'll see how this plays out.
Dear Stacey,
We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience. We certainly understand your frustration. Please be advised that all pre-approvals are subject to verification of the information that you provide during the application process. Approval is based on a number of factors including your credit score, repayment history, debt to income ratio, etc.
Please be advised that as a part of our approval process we use an industry-standard online verification tool to securely connect to financial institutions to verify your reported income and to guard against fraud. The online verification tool is widely used by over 600 leading financial institutions and 50 million consumers. We do not store, share, access, or view your personal log-in details at any time. We do also offer alternative verification methods (for example, the documents you mentioned) for those customers that choose not to use our industry-standard online verification tool to securely verify income.
We definitely want to look into what happened here with your account. Please contact us at Feedback(@)AvantCredit.com and a member of our operations team will reach out to you after the account is reviewed.
Sincerely,
AvantCredit Support
