I had a few loans from these guys but my recent and last loan ended in stealing. Almost 400 is taken from me and I was ignored. I am in the process of disputing and I was also lied to. Membership fee was charged and apparently always has but it didn't say on the portal. I am very pissed off.

Definitely appreciate Costa’s support and guidance!

I’d like to comment on the fantastic service and interactions I had with Costa, a loans approval agent at this office. He was friendly, helpful, easy to talk with, honest, and eager to assist me in getting my first time small loan for the short term.
Getting the loan approval isn’t the quickest process as it states - but still very efficient and quick enough.
Costa was reassuring and worked with me quickly over the phone and by email to make sure my application was complete.
Verifications definitely have to be done once all of your documents are uploaded to the website, but if you’re an organized person and get ALL of your online documents in order then your approval and first deposit shouldn’t realistically take more than 2-3days.
Thanks again Costa for the great service.

Lent me money even though they are not licensed in the province I live in.

When I called them and confronted them on it, the manager must have dropped the F BOMB on me 3 or 4 times, all while saying “so what! You pay me”.

Threatened to put my loan into collections, ruin my credit.

I wonder how the collection agency will feel when I take them to court for trying to collect on an unlicensed debt?

Instead of buyer beware, as the ministry of consumer affairs in Saskatchewan representative said, “this is lender beware.”

If you are not licensed in the province you’re lending money you are doing so illegally and therefore have no recourse to collect your funds.

This company is not doing its homework.
The manager will use threatening and profane language with you if you ruin his day as I did.

Not licensed in Saskatchewan.

Hi Mindy

We apologize for the refusal. The documentation you provided did not meet the requirements for an approval at this time. You can contact us toll free at 1844 508 2274 ext 104 for more information about the matter. Furthermore, our company does not verify credit. We only require third party bank account verification as identity theft and fraud are an issue in the field.

Regards,

Admin

Since being with 514 loan my experience has been good. They offer a range of different loan amounts, keep in mind it will depend on a few factors, employment, income, they will offer you the best loan that will make it easier to payback. Once approved the funds will be deposited into your bank account right away.
