Please stay clear of this company. They take your money then use your personal credit to apply of unsecured lines of credit then make you build your relationship with the lenders then you have to get the business lines they will not do it for you. If you cancel with their new "payment" in full you wont have a fee but you sure as *** wont get the $2,900 back you will have a few outgoing calls to get you started but then you will then have nothing but floods of texts coming in because they have over 3,000 clients with a 5 man team so cant talk to you because theyvare swimming in unfulfilled work

RRRUUUNNN. They will send you to payday loan companies. Was sent to one real bank. Was treated like all the other banks. They take your money and make you do 90 percent of the work. Their business plan done by a kid. I had to proof read and fix way too much. STAY OUT STAY ALIVE!!!!

Direct business lending are liars

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I inquired about a loan and I was told if I signed up I was guaranteed a loan. That never happened! Instead they kept withdrawing money from my card and stringing me along. They string you along to make you feel like they are working your file if i didn't call them weeks would go by. Finally I spoke to them and told them i would like to cancel because i was not happy with what they are doing and how i constantly need to follow-up with them. Their employees changed a lot. No one knew what the other one was doing. I was never informed of a cancellation fee until today. My email has not changed and i had put in a loan application with DKO group on Facebook and it was forwarded to Direct Business Lending and I got transferred to Jon and he starts saying your seriously delinquent. I said what are you talking about i cancelled he said there's a 1400.00 cancellation fee and you owe that. I said are you crazy why was i never contacted about this before and now your saying this my email has never changed. He was very condescending. Now threatening to take me to court. Be careful they prey on small businesses trying to startup and have bad credit. They are scammers. here's an email i got Hi Wanda, Thank you for completing the quick application. We are able to get you approved for a business loan. Please call us at 1-87*-506-****. We can help you even if you are a start-up or have bad credit. Thank you, Direct Business Lending Management Team 1-87*-506-**** 100 Sunnyside Blvd Woodbury NY 11797 USA

Direct Business Lending - Customer Care Review from Yorba Linda, California

I started receiving credit card statements and letters from credit card companies saying there had been to many applications made. I reported it to Direct Business Lending sent them the letters ,they told me "oh we did that " so they applied for god only knows how many cards amoung other things. When it came right down to it they said " we find you personal credit and once you have worked with the lenders for 2 years then they would hit them up for business credit". Now since I have been working with them work started to work with them I am getting collection letters about other accounts that have been opened in other states in my name that I know nothing about. Now when you tried to contact him they're recording says they only have time to talk to new clients not existing clients Direct business lending is a fraud and a scam as far as I am concerned they do not do what they said they would do it was a very expensive lesson.

They are terrible. They charge you monthly. They expect you to pay them pay for a credit monitoring service that gives them access to your credit so they can "work" on it and they make you use their company for your website. They do absolutely nothing but take your money from every and any angle. If you call it's a 30 min wait at the least and that's if you're lucky enough to get through. However you miss one payment they blow your phone and email up talking about their working on your credit and blah blah blah then they start with the reminders to pay then threatening to sue. They know they didn't do anything to help. Wish we would've read these reviews before starting with them. There's no way they will get another cent of our money!!!! Terrible terrible company!!!! Makes you wonder all these complaints and all this money we all have paid out...someone's got it and is living the good life. I bet the number we call is someone's home office number smh

Please use a local bank. STAY AWAY. They will not fix any problems their entities cause. But, they will keep charging your bank account after your reputation has been destroyed. All they want is your money. Even tho they know you have LIED TO they still say but, we helped you. The only thing they PROVIDE IS A HEADACHE. They will send YOU the letters they type up for you but, you have to send them out yourself. You do ALL OF THE WORK. THEY WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU IF HIT HAS BEEN FIXED. SO, WHY EVEN PAY THEM FOR A SERVICE THAT YOU CAN DO YOURSELF. I WAS PROMISED A LOAN IN 6 WEEKS. NOPE!!! Going on month 7. They say they put you with lenders, ya , payday loans. STAY THE *** AWAY. I DELT WITH A LENDER THAT FALSELY REPRESENTED WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND IT COST ME DEARLY. REPUTATION IS NOW DESTROYED. I ASKED THEM TO DISOLVE OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP AND THEY AT A COST OF 495.00. I GET SCREWED, AND YET, THEY STILL WANT TO CHARGE ME. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES PEOPLE. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS YOUR MONEY.

STAY AWAY. I thought I was the only one until I googled this. Came across these reviews and realized I wasn't the only one experiencing the exact same issues. I have been dealing with these liars for 3 years this July. It's the same thing everytime "we need to work on your credit scores". I have had countless missed appointments. When you call you have to wait at least 30 mins before anyone answers. I had my credit reviewed when I started with them. I was told by them I would have my loan in less than 6 weeks. Week 148, no changes at all. Please! Do not use this company.

Direct Business Lending Steals Money - BIG SCAM!

Direct Business Lending is the biggest scam. They charged me $3500 and told me that I would have a business loan within 5 weeks. They said that they help me set up my business, my business credit, fix any derogatory credit, and get me my business loan. It has been a year and a half, and I have yet to see any progress. They said that my credit did not need much work, and they would work on credit repair. They have not done anything in a year and half. They keep sending me dispute letters, which I need to send out, and that is all they do. It has yet to make a bit of difference on my credit. Nobody there ever responds, and it takes a month before they follow up. When I do call as an existing client, I am on hold for an hour; however the new client line where they collect your $3500, answers immediately. This has been the worst experience, and they are a fraud!!!!!! Stay away from this company!!!!!!

Total Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Do not sign up with Direct Business Lending! Its a total scam, they tell you everything you want to hear about how good they are, how they have over 350 lenders they work closely with and they promise your funds within 30 to 45 days. Then they have you sign a contract to basically pay them $3500 so they can start working for you. Yeah it's been three months and the only thing they have done is take $350 down payment and draft $159 a month for doing absolutely nothing! Here is what I learned, you don't have to pay for a broker to find you the right lender up front, they make commission off your loan. This company needs to shut down, there needs to be a lawsuit against them! Do Not Fall For This Corrupt Company!!!

CRIMINALS! SCAM ARTISTS! DO NOT USE!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
These people have taken a bunch of my money and given me nothing. They tried to get me to spend an extra $1200 with them on top of the extra $3500 package I signed up for so they could give me a "credit profile number" that I could use to apply for credit with a fresh slate. This is a federal crime and I could be in jail if I listened to them. They did not do ANYTHING that they said they would do, missed almost every single appointment with no warning or attempt to reschedule. I caught them lying to me several times and then when I finally told them to cancel after they had done nothing in over 60 days, they refused and will not give me a refund! RUN DON'T WALK! Looking into class action lawsuit and criminal charges - these people need to be stopped. The internet is full of people warning you what a scam these guys are - read before you sign anything!!!

Direct Business Lending - Loan Review from Los Angeles, California

Do not sign up with this company!!!!! They promise you the moon and stars to get you to sign a contract that will cost you $3500! They are unprofessional, dishonest, lazy and will give any excuse in the book why they haven't found you qualified lenders. They are extremely rude and don't give a *** about you. It's been over 3 months and still they are searching for a lender. This company either gets high on their breaks or are plain dumb. Every time you talk to someone different and still you have to start from zero. Again they lack communication with each other and are extremely rude! I think it's a big scam and I am cutting them off. I hope they will have a huge class action suit against them soon. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMOANY THEY ARE ALL FULL OF *** AND YIU WILL GET THE RUN ATOUND AND NO FUNDING
