    Uncle Warbucks sent an email that I was approved for $600 when I called they wanted linked by bank account which I accepted but also they wanted my debit card. I asked the lady where is this company located at least the state. She replied to me we can not disclose this information. Holy caw! that was a red flag to me. They want all my information, checking, debit card, and linked the bank account and they can not tell me anything about them. Plus just $600 dollars, what you can do today with this money. I just giving you what happens, facts. Not my opinion. You decided

    They confirmed and reconfirmed my account number only to still screw it up still. They waited 3 days and then canceled my loan then my account went negative with my bank because I had to wait. Stay away they are fraudulent! Also, when we were on the phone with my bank they were trying to get other account numbers because they made the mistake in my account. Of course my bank said no. Unbelievable stay away!

    Thank you for contacting us, We are sorry for the issues incurred on this account. There seems to have been an issue with the bank details entered on the application. This caused a return on the credits. We always try to ensure the bank details are correct. We are sorry for the inconvenience this caused.

    Applied for a $1500 loan on a weekend. June 22 or 23 the money was available in my account by the 26. That Friday the 28th they withdrew $375 for the first payment. My next payment was due on the 15th of July. On July 13th which was a Saturday the $450 payment had already been withdrawn from my account. That same day I made an additional $1500 payment to pay off the loan. Because it was a weekend it was not credited till Monday the 15th of July. None of the $825 that I paid was put towards principal. I had their money for 18 days and was charged $825 in interest. I reached out to them to credit the first interest payment of $375 which was taken two days after I received the loan but they refused.

    This company shows no alternatives when it comes to loans, especially when I’m in financial desperation Due to identity theft!

    The money was immediate when I needed it but the events that followed was unbelievable!! I have paid back the amount I owe and a lot more as of January 2024 and I’m still being charged over a hundred dollars every two weeks from Uncle Warbucks! Payment today was $164 which is a third of what I owe. Last payments were over a hundred dollars and over $200 dollars and I’m still having to pay till August!! Unbelievable!! I’ll never use this company again for a payday loan!! Biggest mistake I ever made!!

    I sent an email today wanting to pay my account off that works for me best at this point and was told no. So now will be handling it a different way. Times are tuff and they don't want to work with me. Once it's paid off I'm done with them.

    Thank you for contacting us, We reviewed the account i question, we do see that the payment frequency on the loan would have been different that what was requested. This does at times make things more complicated. That being said, we would be happy to work at resolving the issue in a way that works well for both parties. Operations

    Whatever you do do not get a loan from this company! Getting a loan from Uncle Warbucks is the worst decision I have made in my life. I borrowed $600 and now have to pay back $2427.00. So far I have paid $960.00. I tried to pay the loan off early today to get it closed but they said to do so I need to pay $678.00. Please don't get a loan from this company unless there is no other option but be aware. This company will put you in a much worse position than you were in the first place. It's not worth it!

    If you ah e any other choice, explore that option!! This company preys on people that are out of options and desperate. You actually pay more than 4x what you’ve borrowed. It’s such a ripoff! I hate that their are companies that are allowed to prey on people.

    Scam. Stay way from this company. I was told I was approved for a loan, they took my bank info (account #, routing and debit card#) then reached out to my bank on a 3 way call and asked me to authorize Uncle Warbucks to receive private information. They abrubtly ended the call to tell me I was not approved to move forward. I called my bank to make to deauthorize their access and was told there was already an attempt made by Uncle Warbucks to access my account but I called in time for them to decline the transaction.
