Starting in 2002, LoanMart has grown into one of America’s largest loan platforms for people with less than perfect credit by helping people quickly get the money they need with both vehicle secured loans and personal loans. LoanMart’s skilled agents work with you to get you money as fast as same day. Applications processed by LoanMart may be funded by one of several lenders, including by LoanMart, a licensed lender in certain states, and by a Utah-chartered Bank.
I took out a loan with LM in 2019 in order to pay for travel expenses related to a relative passing, right after getting out of college. Probably one of the worst financial decisions I've made thus far in life. Over the course of the past ~1.5 years I've had to pay about x3 the amount of the principal in interest, fees, and more. The interest rates are predatory; there's a class action against them but I unfortunately am not able to participate because of when I took out the loan. Customer service is spotty; either you'll get someone on the phone who is genuinely happy to help, or you'll get someone who doesn't know what they're talking about at all and just wants to get you off the phone. At one point I had fallen a month behind and they threatened to repo my car. I set up a payment date and they repo'd my car four days before the date we agreed on. It cost me over 1k to get it out. This is on top of constant calls they make to family and friends asking about me and asking for their money - once again, after a payment date had been arranged. I had never missed an arranged payment date, yet they approach the situation like I owe them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seriously, no matter the circumstances do NOT take a loan out with these people unless you can pay it off in the first month. At this point I almost wish I missed my family member's funeral. These literal loan sharks have caused me to consider suicide at various points because of how financially ruined this loan made me. Thank god I've paid this off. To anyone that hasn't been able to - be vigilant. If I can get out, so can you. If you're considering taking out a loan with them, don't. Point blank. It's not worth the ruin. Whatever you need the money for, get it a different way.

Bunch of crooks
Yes, their car title loan process is fast and easy. I got my loan same day. HOWEVER, I will be paying off my $2000 loan tomorrow, and after only 6 months, I'll have dumped $4400 into this ridiculously high interest loan. If you're not able to pay the loan off within a month, do yourself a favor- find any other lender, I think even the mafia has better rates than these predatory scammers.

Misleading
They "guarantee" credit is not an issue, approved me for a vehicle title loan, and then locked in my rate had me thinking everything was set, and then was told my bank account did not qualify (NetSpend account) denied my loan and I can not reapply for 30 days! Banking info could have been checked out prior to leading me to believe all was well. I could have tried to obtain the proper kind of checking account they require had I of known mine was not an approved/supported one.

LoanMart is a good company.
My experience so far (1 year into my loan) is that they are honest and fair people. By consistently paying on time, I was able to significantly raise my credit score, which was one of my goals in taking the loan. Although it's a high interest loan (and I wish I had a lower interest rate), if I can/will just keep paying the monthly on time, and pay the loan off as quickly as possible, this will have been a very good experience! The LoanMart loan helped me to hang in re: my goal to make it from tenant to owner, and while it is expensive, if it supports me to ownership of the place I live at, and raises my credit score with continuing timely payments... well then thats great! I read some bad reviews of LoanMart online before accepting the loan, but the reality and the truth (per my own experience is)... if the borrower actually complies with the contractual terms, LoanMart is a good/excellent company to work with. In the past year, there were many LoanMart associates who helped me. Most recently, I had the pleasure of working with Kelyn, who was kind, professional... and effective at accomplishing the goal of securing my (2nd) loan. I remember Isaac and Doris too... both were good to me! So yes, if one messes up on a high interest loan, it will be a painful financial hardship, so don't mess up, and pay the loan timely, but... doing so (paying timely) has helped me to lift my life into a better credit status... which makes me happy! Thanks LoanMart!
