I called this company 57 times in one day last week. I was told several company names by different sales people. I harassed these people right back in an attempt to be taken off of their call list. Multiple times I was assured that I was removed, and to stop wasting their time by calling. No one caught the irony that I was simply _returning their calls_. However, when I try to call this number now, I cannot get through to anyone, so I can't get a loan even if I wanted one! Still got six calls today. Looks like I just have to accept this as a part of my life now. Oh well, I've been dealing with it for two years, I guess another 35 years won't kill me...

Exact same situation as other complaints. I’ve block, they call again. “ My name is Bennett, and I'm giving you a call about your recent debt consolidation loan inquiry. Your file came back preapproved for up to $55,000 and your monthly payment could be as low as $400. I'd like to review everything with you and make sure you're comfortable before we send the documents over for signature. Feel free to give me a call back at 217-834-9685 whenever you have a chance. Again, that's 217-834-9685. Thanks and talk to you soon.” They are EVIL

They've been harassing me for years, leaving robocalls from random numbers sometimes 6 times per day. A "representative" told me that the company name is Simple Path Lending in San Diego, CA. This company does not exist as far as I can tell. There seems to be no way to remove myself from their list.
