I was referred to Capital Good Fund by an online car search site, and I was skeptical at first. My…read morecredit and income isn't excellent, but I'm a decent, hardworking person and decided to give them a chance to help me. There were so many other outfits offering short-term financing, my email inbox was being bombarded with offers with very high interest rates in the fine print. I was really concerned about getting ripped off. I'm glad I was able to get a pre-approval letter from Capital Good Fund. I had all the documents, but sometimes their communication about specifically what they needed wasn't clear in the first instance, but they were patient until I was able to provide them with what they needed to secure my loan approval. It was a longer process than I expected; it took more than a few weeks after I signed a purchase agreement with a dealership to close the loan, but I am certain a hasty process to get financing through the dealership would have resulted in a financially damaging decision. I was concerned at the end of the process with Capital Good Fund that a "mistake" which increased the expected interest rate of the loan over what I expected from the pre-approval letter was going to break the deal. They apologized and corrected the error, but I'm not sure what they would have done had I signed the incorrect contract. In summary, get all your documents (paystubs, utility bills, license), get pre-approved, shop around to get a good price on the car you want, get your insurance binder with the lender as lienholder, make sure you demand a copy of the signed sales agreement, and most of all, don't make the mistake I did of handing over your trade and taking delivery of the car until the loan is closed, even if you have to wait a while, it will only make you nervous until you sign, and the dealer will likely hound you for delays you have no control over. It probably would have been better to tell the dealer I didn't need their "backup" financing, which will cost you thousands more if you end up needing it. If the dealer pressures you to do otherwise, buy your car somewhere else. Good luck, and thanks Capital Good Fund for helping me meet my goals.

I mean, Capital GF gave me financing for a car when no one else would due to my credit. The…read moreinterest rate is high, and I didn't have too many problems on my credit that I didn't get fixed quickly, but again, almost every other loan grantor was giving me a hard time, and CGF didn't. I can't say that their process was very timely (the dealership called me every day for three weeks asking when they were going to get paid), but as far as the other review purporting them to be a scam, I just don't see it. I mean, if your credit is completely destroyed or your income isn't so great, then they would be foolish to loan you money. Overall, a pretty good company. I can't speak for every situation, but they helped me out in a time of need and I've recommended my friends to them based on their no BS methods. I can't say that I'll run to them the next time that I need a loan if they can't offer me a lower interest rate, but if they can, they have my business for sure.

When I became self-employed, I opened up a Health Savings Account to reduce my tax bill. I use my HSA like a checking account: Money goes in monthly for the tax deduction, and money comes out the same month to pay my health care premiums. However, in Sept, Fidelity without prior notice, decided to delay my ability to withdraw funds. In the past I was able to xfer funds back to my checking account one week after the contribution. Fidelity now wants me to wait over three weeks to xfer the money back: Thats total BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I filed a complaint with Fidelity's regulator, and I am looking to move my HSA elsewhere. I am not going to do business with an unethical company that changes the rules without prior notice. Their change negatively impacts my cash flow.

The first year I did my taxes with this firm I never had an issue…read more However, this past tax year was COMPLETELY different. My concerns: The accountant handling my e-file neglected to include the 1040 form. (I'm fairly young, I own my own business & this would be the second year I've employed an CPA & lawyer to handle my taxes.) However I keep excellent records, tried my very best to do everything I could to be a responsible tax paying citizen. I wasn't informed I hadn't included this information until I received a threatening letter from the IRS informing me (2 months later) that I needed this information to process my 2014 taxes. I emailed my accountant at this firm. She first said she wasn't my power of attorney, she couldn't handle it. Then, I was to blame because I hadn't including this form. & lastly she could amend this error. NEVER mentioning it would cost extra... Extra to the tune of $200 bill I received.... The sad part being I received her additional $200 AFTER the IRS send ANOTHER letter mentioning they STILL needed the 1040 form that my attorney was supposedly sent when she 'amended' HER error. I'm currently in discrepancy with the IRS due to these errors.... I've chosen to handle myself all myself, because clearly my accountant is only good at making mistakes, blaming others AND sending unannounced for exactly that!
