This company provides interest free for one year financing of various items. They stipulate all payments must be on time or all interest will be charged. What they don't do is send a monthly bill. They send a bill every few months, it is up to the borrower to remember the bill is due. In my case this resulted in being charged all interest due. They do not specify when lending that they will not be billing you. I strongly recommend not using them. It is basically a set up for you to miss a payment and be billed for the intere... read more

I am a victim of this terrible SHAM business that mails checks to tempt people into bad loans and to make it easy for Thieves to forge signatures. This mail solicitation was being sent to an old address that I have not lived at in 10 years. Well someone cashed a checked mailed by Mariner finance in my name and it hit my credit report. Luckily I get alerts to see when anything new is updated on my credit report or changes. All Mariner could say was that I would need to get a copy of a police report and update their fraud pape... read more

Business response:

********** we apologize for your unfavorable experience. It appears that we have already been advised of your issue, and are working with you to assist in the resolution. Just to clarify, a firm offer of credit, which in this case is a "live loan check, also known as a "Loan by Mail" is a direct mail loan offer that complies with all applicable state and federal regulations, and is extended to credit qualified individuals.

Trying to make my payment since June and no one answers or calls me back. Did they go out of business?

I'm curious as to why I received a text and email saying my local branch in Goldsboro, NC wanted to thank me for giving information and they wanted me to come in to finish up the "loan." 1. I've never heard of this company. 2. I've never applied for any loan. 3. I haven't lived near Goldsboro in 9 years. 

Business response:

Ms. ****** thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. The correspondence you received would be associated with a recently submitted credit application. If you did not apply for credit with Mariner, please contact our Customer Relations Department immediately 844-335-2080 so that we may assist you with initiating a fraud claim. We also encourage you to file a police report if you believe you are the victim of identity theft.

I got approved for a loan I didn't ask for. I don't know how they got my information or enough information to send me a check that If I sign, I agree to terms and conditions of a loan. That's gross and shouldn't be legal. I don't think it is in Washington state. 

Business response:

*********, thank you for your feedback. Mariner's loan by mail is a regulated loan product using a direct mail prescreen selection process based on information received from the credit reporting agencies. A "live loan check," also known as "loan by mail," is thoroughly vetted for compliance with state law prior to being mailed to residents of a particular state. The check attachment provides full disclosure of the loan terms and and the loan does not become active until the check is cashed. If you have additional questions, ... read more

They should not be able to hold a refund check for 14 days when paying off account an account with a cashiers check from a bank. If I was 14 days late they would charge me interest, late fees and report me late to credit bureau. 

Business response:

******* we appreciate your feedback. If an account is paid by check or money order, paid documents and refund checks will be released fifteen calendar days from the paid in full date. This policy ensures that the payment clears, and that a stop payment cannot be placed on the check after the customer receives documentation that the debt is cleared. Customer's can always avoid the waiting period by paying with cash or certified check. We also always encourage calling your local branch for an accurate payoff quote which will a... read more

If I could give them No stars I would. A repo vehical was purchased from them and they miss lead the selling of the car. It was stated that it proble would need brakes, and a tune up which is understandable thats more than likely the norm. Then they say they car doesnt have a battery then you go spend $ on another battery to get to the car and the car has a battery, i just needs to be jumped, Long story short they sold a salvage car as if it was a car that you could put money into to drive, which is not the case and now they... read more

I used mariner finance years ago and I paid off what i borrowed. Thankfully I haven't needed their loan services since then. Last year I kindly called the local office and asked the nice lady on the phone to please stop sending me their advertisements because I want to eliminate any possibility of being compromised because it happens through mail quite often. She agreed and said that she would do that. I have moved since. This year on a monthly basis, I now receive them BUT at my new address. I never gave them this informati... read more
