This is a scam, stay away.
This is a scam, they will try their utmost to avoid talking normal bank language, they will never ever tell you the actual interest rate, instead they start pounding you with weekly costs, interest only periods, initial high payments for eight weeks and after that only a fraction. Interest rates of 2.24 percent, turns out to be per day. When you start putting in normal calculations, the ones real banks do, it turns out the interest is 73%. No doubt an employe of these people will be very quick to explain how wrong I am but i would be happy to upload the proposal they sent me. As you can see I talked to them on April Fools Day, unfortunately this was not a joke.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We're genuinely concerned about this noted experience since it goes against everything we currently do at ARF Financial. Please send the proposal you received when you can so we can review with the Loan Consultant you spoke to. We are not a bank but we work with three community banks to offer bank loans. They are Mission Valley Bank, Timberland Bank and River Bank. These are published for transparency here: https://www.arffinancial.com/company/our-team/bank-partners/. The 73% rate is also not an ARF Financial rate that any of our bank partners would offer so we definitely need to see the proposal soon as you can send it. Thanks again for alerting us to this experience and we will work to resolve as soon as possible.
