Summary: OppLoans is the preferred option for consumers with poor credit scores who want to avoid working with payday lenders. The loans are easily accessible, and the repayment plan favors the debtor's financial situation. Learn more below.
Are you considering using OppLoans to access quick funding? If so, OppLoans is a legitimate online platform that offers installment loans for consumers with a relatively poor credit score. They do not perform a hard credit check, but you must meet the following requirements:
Most consumers using OppLoans find them a better option than payday lenders because of their high interest rates. Before settling to use its services, you should find out how OppLoans works, the reviews they have received on various platforms, and an effective method you can use to settle outstanding debt with them.
Sued for debt? Resolve it through debt settlement.
OppLoans is a fintech platform that’s been in business for more than a decade. Its stated mission is to help everyday Americans access credit when the mainstream options fail.
The personal loan amount you can access is between $500 to $4,000 with a maximum APR at 160%. The following table gives you a summary of the pros and cons of using OppLoans.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Immediate funding | High-interest rates |
Your pay schedule determines the due date | Fees and penalties are steep |
Reports patent to credit bureaus | Do not perform a hard credit check |
Poor or bad credit is not a hindrance | Limited maximum amount borrowed |
Applying for a loan with OppLoans is simple. They also assure you that this action will not affect your FICO score. Follow these steps once you decide to work with OppLoans:
OppLoans allows you to make low monthly payments, but you'll pay it for a longer duration, meaning your interest rate will be higher. Fortunately, they do not penalize you for fully paying back the loan earlier than the agreed timeline.
OppLoans has relatively good customer reviews across various platforms. For instance, they have a star rating of 4.6 in Trustpilot, 4. 5 on their BBB profile, and 4.8 on Consumer Affairs. Customers commend them for good customer service, accessing their loans quickly, and having a seamless application process.
Despite its positive reviews, OppLoans has also received many complaints from various consumers who’ve had a negative experience with their services on its BBB profile. Below is a real example of a complaint against OppLoans (edited for clarity):
“On 5/19/2023, I submitted a request for debt validation to OppLoans' debt collector. This request was in compliance with the FDCPA and aimed to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the debt they claimed I owed. However, OppLoans and the collector have failed to provide valid documentation within the 30-day period specified by the FDCPA. However, on 7/20/2023, OppLoans responded to my request for debt validation, but failed to comply with the necessary requirements. They merely provided the balance owed and the name of the collections agent without supplying the original contract or the date the account was opened. This blatant disregard for the debt validation process outlined by the FDCPA is highly alarming.”
The FDCPA outlines your right to debt validation. If you need OppLoans to verify your debt, send them a Debt Validation Letter requesting a breakdown of the debt. If they do not respond, you may be eligible for compensation as outlined in § 813 of the FDCPA
Sometimes, you may hit a rough patch and miss making your debt payments for several months until OppLOans threatens to take legal action against you. In such a situation, you might want to resolve your debt through debt settlement. SoloSettle can help you do just that.
