I received an unsolicited letter from a local One Main Financial office. Their requirements are not clear/not conspicuous and the letter itself was very misleading. In addition, the letter flat out lied about me having excellent credit when my credit is just fair to average at best. Further, the misleading mail solicitation implied my credit had been reviewed/screened and also implied that to get a personal loan, that all I had to do was bring in the " Pre-selected Certificate. '' I am certain XXXX if not XXXX of other people are being misled by this company 's solicitations and " marketing. " When calling the company prior to applying, they are evasive and refuse to directly answer the question of if there is any credit score they will not accept. They instead repeatedly tell you to apply online or in their office. 

I am very upset that I was misled by this letter, took my time to go to their office where I received poor customer service, they acted as if they were happy to be alone and a bit irritated that a customer had walked in and then declined receiving a hit to my credit score which had just recently been boosted a bit by diligent efforts to improve it. Because I met the basic requirements of income above {$20000.00}, proof of ID and no BK filings and because I had the " Pre-Selected Certificate '' I thought I would be approved. That is truly how easy their misleading solicitation makes it appear. 

As far as their lackluster customer service, the person who " helped '' me then proceeded to collect personal information about me seemingly in an attempt to get me out the door faster, there were no pleasantries or even a pleasant attitude. It truly made me feel as if perhaps she determined that I was not eligible and was just quickly going through the motions even before she had all my information. 

The letter is extremely misleading, even when I called the branch manager listed on the letter she said that they do not view or pull your credit despite having a letter in my hands that referred to my " excellent credit. '' I told both the branch manager and the person who personally took my application that I am very upset that I was misled and that their company is casting a wide net, ensnaring many who they refuse to help and actually harming credit-wise in their misleading attempts to get more business. 

Neither of the XXXX, including the branch manager offer any resolution. The branch manager only said she can take my complaint, that is not resolution and makes me believe this is how this company gets it 's customers ... by misleading a significant number to get a smaller number they truly want. This company needs to have swift action taken against them for misleading people through their unsolicited solicitations and marketing.
