This company is horrible! I was going to be 2 weeks late on my payment, this company recently took over my loan from a crappy buy here pay here place in AZ.

I called them an let them know i was going to be late, and scheduled for the late payment as well as my upcoming payment. The total after late fees was 720$, when i spoke with the rep named Sarah she asked me how i am going to pay 720$ and she said isn’t that going to put me behind on other bills? I ignored her odd unprofessional statement and said just set the payment up.

When the time for the payment came i noticed an insufficient funds on my bank account, but the money was in there. So I replaced the 35 dollar fee and added another 50$ to my account just in case. A few days passed and i once again noticed another insufficient fee??!! So i called to ask them what was going on and how much exactly are they trying to run the payment for. Sarah then said don’t you remember our conversation on the 23rd? I said no, we did not speak on the 23rd. Sarah said she called me on the 23rd, I yelled at her and said why would i make my payments and why is making payments so important, oh and i also said to just take my van and that I didnt think it was such a big deal, she also said i was transferred to loan officers who said that i can overnight my payment or it would be set up for repossesion, but she said i said I don’t want to pay it anymore. I asked her to let me hear this conversation i supposably had with her and she told me i would need to contact a lawyer to hear it. I said so your not going to let me make a payment, and she told me they do not want to deal with people like me and they are taking my van. I asked her why she can flat out lie to my face about the conversation and i want to hear it, she said contact a lawyer and the call dropped.

I have never been so mad in my life, and I am still flabbergasted at how someone can flat out lie and say I had a conversation with them.. it blows my mind. I would like to contact a lawyer but do not have the time, resources or money for that.. and I’m sure she knew that when she refused to let me listen to this conversation I guess I had while I was sleeping.. I can’t imagine how someone could be so cold hearted, this company is not reliable, they are flat out con artists!


I never spoke with her, she never called me. I had no missed calls or received calls from the company. I do believe she may have messed something up, possibly even ran it for more then she should have, but in order to cover her butt she needed to make up some crazy conversation with me, however in order for me to hear this "conversation" i had, i need to contact a lawyer. Which as i said, is more then its worth.. however i would LOVE to see their reaction if i did hire one, and i would love to hear this conversation i had.

This is all in my opion. This is honestly a horrible company. I am just 19 years old and they started me out with a 29.99% interest rate and my payments were 313.34 a mo. My loan started at $ 2,000 then went to $ 2,300, then to $ 2,600, $ 3,000 and finaly $ 8,000 they couldn'y find any of my payments and said I have never made one so I went to the bank and got a statment of my account. They still repoed my car even though I made my payments for the right amount and on time. They even took it 6 days earlie they said they mailed me a certified letter that I signed for when they didn't and I couldn't have signed for it on the day they said because I wasn't there. I had to get a copy of my phone records because they say I never called when I did. They called and left me a voice mail say they were the police and had a warrent for my arrest of fraud charges. Sarah works for Reliable Credit at this phone # 503-588-4421 I have to say she is the rudest person in the whole world and is a horrible liar and Brain Johnson the assistant manager only wants to help you and be nice when he knowns he's being sued and the president told me I should talk to my postal company as to why I didn't recieve my certifed letter when before he told me I did and had signed for it. This company is honestly a JOKE....please beware.

This company is horrible!!!! I had a car loan threw them for about a year. I was pretty good about making my payment and if I was even behind I would make a double payment the next month. For the most part, at first, they were good with working with me and my financial situation. Bu then they started being rude, and I mean very rude with me on the phone and in any type of letters they sent me. Keep in mind most of they time my account was in good standing. And one day they called me, I was ONE payment behind and didnt have insurance for about ONE week on the car(I was switching companies because I had just gotten married that month). They told me that I was one hour away from getting my car taken away. Then he went on to say that my loan was only for $4000 and my car was worth $12000. Makes you think! Then he told me that if they came and got my car they would for sure make money on it. Then went on to tell me that my loan was for $5500, he had just told me 5 mins before that that it was $4000. Dont really get that. And most of the time I was talking with him he was very short, rude and had his voice raised at me. So I offered to send in a payment for $150, witch was my monthly payment, and he told me he couldn't except that and that I had better sent them $300 plus before the nexr wednesday or they were going to come get my car. ANY ONE I know who has had a car repoed he been MONTHS behind... NOT ONE!!!! So I said fine by this friday it wont be a problem, hung up on him and went down to a car dealership. Now instead of a car that I didnt really like at the time I have a VERY nice SUV and a good loan comopany. Do NOT ever use this company!!! I have NEVER had any one be so rude to me in my life!!! THEY ARE LOW LIFES!!

I'd like to start off by saying that the only reason I rated this a 1 star bank is because I wasn't sure if the site would accept my review with NO STARS. This is the most unprofessional, unprepared, amateur, 2-bit, scamming, sorry excuse for a banking operation that I have ever encountered. For a simple PRE-APPROVED bank loan to go through, it took TWO AND A HALF WEEKS! All other pre-approved loans I've ever dealt with took no more than 3 days. The loan officer I dealt with was clumsily unprepared, pretentious, and down-right RUDE at times. He assumed I knew nothing and talked down to me. During the loan proceedings I was nickel and dimed with hoops to jump through on a daily basis. If the bank knew its business, all the requirements would have been stated up front, not slowly over a two week period. The "Bill of Sale" he tried to stick me with did not even include the price of the vehicle. When I saw the amount of money to be transferred (after having to dig for it) THE AMOUNT WAS $799.00 LESS THAN THE AGREED UPON AMOUNT! I don't know if they were trying to pocket the difference or what, but none of the parties involved in this loan will ever do business with this amateur, three-ring, cluster**** EVER again. I urge any member to pull their money out before they're scammed by the snakes in the Albina grass. If you are considering becoming a new member, I'd suggest that you go across the street to a competent financial institution. If you want the REAL ALBINA EXPERINCE without the financial headaches and lost time, I suggest jumping on a bicycle with no seat.

I've had bank accounts in five states over 25 years and this small little branch has impersonal tellers behind thick bullet proof glass. They consistently provide mediocre to poor service. If WAMU would survey all of their branch banks for customer satisfaction this one would come in dead last. I know other WAMU account holders who agree with me on this poor rating.
