Bellwoods Referrals

Review: I was approached by bellwoods referrals employee [redacted] regarding a loan I was attempting to acquire. [redacted] informed me I qualified for 8000.00. After going over the terms of loan she faxed me the paperwork I needed to sign and fax back to her. I also needed to wire via [redacted] the sum of 574.00 for collateral payment. In the contract it stated once the funds were received I would receive the 8000.00 loan within 2-4 hours. I was contacted the following day by me. White telling me I needed to pay for insurance which was 1500.00 of that 750.00 needed to be paid up front. I told him at that time I wouldn't pay that which apparently canceled my loan agreement already made. This was over a month ago and I still have not received my refund of funds wired for collateral.Desired Settlement: I would like my money returned of 574.00 plus [redacted] charge of 43.00 to send money to them for loan not received. The insurance for this loan was optional in loan contract until they received my money then it became mandatory which is absurd.

Review: My mother applied for a loan, which this company had approved. In order to complete the loan, she first needed to send them a small payment instead of collateral. She complied. As she was waiting for the loan to go through, she was suddenly unable to reach the person she first spoke with. Her name was [redacted], and [redacted]'s extension all of a sudden was nkt valid. She then spoke to a condescending man named [redacted] He told her she needed to send in MORE money. $750 More. Which she managed to do. [redacted] assured her that once that payment was received, her loan would be in her account. Well, she sent more money, and again. They need $750 MORE. NO! If she had this kind of money, she wouldn't have applied for a loan. She tried to speak to [redacted] again, and all of a sudden his extension is not valid. This "company" has blocked her from even calling the 855 number. This a fraudulent company!!!!!! They say they have customers to Canada to avoid taxes. Embezzlement and tax evasion??? This is a complete and udder ripof!Desired Settlement: My mother has sent $1,250 dollars. They say the return policy is 14-30 days. This is completely unacceptable. They received the money in a day, they can refund it just as quickly.
