Don't be fooled by Lending Tree, which is one of the first links that you find on search engines when you want to compare lending rates. The rate provided by their "lenders" were all much higher than the rates quoted by major banks in my area. If you want a high rate mortgage that will cost you thousands of $$ more over the life of your loan then this is the place to visit. But otherwise it's a complete waste of time for those looking to refinance jumbo loans in California. And NEVER give them your real birthday, SSN or any other personal information as you have no idea where that info will end up or how it is protected. read more

OK, Lending Tree can be annoying. In my prior review, I was annoyed because I sent in a request for a HELOC and received nothing but original home loan info. I received endless emails and phone calls and nothing related to a HELOC. What a complete waste of time. The whole "get results online" is a bunch of bunk. Decided to refinance and I begrudgingly decided to use Lending Tree. Still received a super annoying onslaught of calls and emails. Everyone wanted the same info I sent previously to Lending Tree. But at the same time, I went into my bank (servicer of home loan and HELOC) asking about a refi), and they gave me a card of someone to contact. It took them over two weeks to email me back and say I should call them. Yikes. Lending Tree companies were calling me and giving me better rates. In fact, my top two options were from Lending Tree. Still waiting to close but I appreciate getting plenty of options even though I was contacted pretty significantly. They aren't what they advertise as (get rates from multiple companies after a few hours on the phone... not online), but the are far better than other options. read more

Avoid at all costs. And don't give them any contact info as they will keep calling and marketing to you including your cell. I told them to remove my cell from their list and just kept ignoring even when I said I would report them. They said go ahead and report us. I did then blocked their number but they keep calling anyway using other numbers. Terrible! read more

I have paid a loan with Lending Tree over 3 years ago and I have been asking them to take the balance of $9040 off my credit report for 2 years now! They keep saying a manager (who is never available) will call me back at least 3 times and not one call. Do NOT go through them. They have nice customer service people who have no authority to do ANYTHING! All I ask is to take off the charge on my credit report that has been paid off TWO YEARS now. They got my money...WHAT THE HE__? read more

The worst company ever they truly don't give a crap about you!!! They do nothing but ruin your credit steer far away from them if your looking for a loan!!! The docked my credit 115 points!!!! Stay away read more

Do not even attempt to request a price quote without companies running your credit. Although it says in big green letters "this will not affect your credit score". When contacted they told me well "you should have read the fine print" (Darryl from lending tree) Not to mention the 30plus phone calls I received from all the different lenders trying to get a sale. I literally wanted a quote and now get harrassed even though I went to the lending tree website to remove me from the contacts. read more

I can't believe this company hasn't been shut down by class action lawsuits by now. Just curious to see what it would tell me on a mortgage, clicked through the LendingTree website and signed up during break time at work. With in 15 seconds of my last click I get my first phone call from a lender. With in 24 hours they had my Verizon voicemail completely full. I'm blocking numbers left and right since I'm at work and can't deal with all the calls. I filled out a help desk request with them to remove me from their list. Since receiving their email saying they will put me on a block list, I've gotten 19 more calls, 5 more voice mails, and an email. They are constantly texting me to. This is abusive harassment. This company should shut down permanently. read more

Wish I had read these reviews before using LendingTree. All in all it was a horrible experience with the third party RefiJet. I needed a lease buyout. RefiJet got approval from Blue FCU quickly. Then it fell apart. Because this was a Lease buyout Refijet was unwilling to complete the transaction. So I tried to go direct with Blue FCU since they approved the loan. Unfortunately due to their contractual agreements with third parties BlueFCU was unable to come between me and RefiJet. When I asked RefiJet to assist in releasing BlueFCU to complete the loan they would not communicate with the loan officer via email. Lesson learned do not use LendingTree and/or RefiJet to facilitate your loan go direct with a lender. read more

The same week I decided to cut my land line I gave my phone number to Lending Tree. I've gotten over 100 calls in less than a week. If that's what you want go for it. read more

Rates Higher Than Advertised and Dozens of Unwanted Calls Being in the market for a refinance, I saw an online banner ad and responded to it because the rate listed was competitive. Then the phone calls started from companies vying for my business. None of the offers were at a rate close to the advertised rate, and I have excellent credit. Dozens and dozens of calls. I blocked many of them, but it was like Whack-A-Mole. 10-11 months later, I'm not sure it has stopped, as I'm still getting hangups. read more

Ugh. Do not complete any on-line questionnaires with this company. They don't provide you with a quote for anything. What they do is forward your information to many lenders who then call you relentlessly. Within minutes of submitting a request for a quote, your phone will be ringing non-stop for days. I had several calls from different people FROM THE SAME COMPANY each day (Quicken). The calls came in for weeks. I answered some and told them to stop calling. After some time the number of calls went way down. Then, we made the mistake of just looking at line of credit info, and their algorithm tracked our inquiry and within minutes we were getting phone calls again. Several per minute. Do not use this company. Just look into different banks. read more

Lending Tree advertises for Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC). I filled out the form and immediately got a flood of phone calls from companies offering refinancing. Not one of them offered HELOCs. And they wouldn't stop calling. Lending Tree may be the biggest nuisance on the internet. You'll be sorry if you call them. I was. read more

Stay away!! I went through lendingtree to refi my auto loan to see my options WITHOUT PULLING A HARD INQUIRY. Kyle from autopay then called me and I gave him some minor info to get a better idea of my options on his end. I did by no means tell them to move forward with my loan and pull a hard inquiry. After 3 days he didnt hear back from me so he took it upon himself to move forward, and then after the fact text me to let me know they moved forward. Stay clear of this pathetic buisness!! read more

Super easy - great rate and finds came fast.

Promised rates for HELOC and got nothing but refinance rates. Not what I indicated or was promised. My phone literally blew up with calls within 30 seconds of hitting enter from call centers. Not one single rate quote for what I indicated I was searching for. Don't bother with them. It's just a revolving speed-dial for call centers. Tim read more

Nothing but a vendor lead generation service, the second I hit enter, I was slammed by tons of emails, robo calls and text with no way to opt out. Even after telling vendors I selected a mortgage company, I still get a dozen plus calls a day. Just a mass lead producing engine for mortgage brokers. read more

Beware! this company sells your information to perhaps hundreds of telemarketing firms. Many of which have nothing to do with the information you were seeking! They do nothing for you that you couldn't find two lines down on your google search talking to a legitimate company offering the services you're looking for. read more

Just used it to look at rates. Big mistake. Constant calls and emails ever since. Unsubscribed many times, but the emails just keep coming.

Had to rate them, very misleading information, given to me.Do not use lending tree.Do your own research.Honestly, they need law suits,due to misleading information and numerous calls, emails, and text from lenders,who WON'T help you read more

I received my loan in just one week and the process was easy throughout and used their online services to upload documents. I'm pleased with my outcome but everyone should evaluate their own loan needs and requirements. read more

I was pleasantly pleased on the short time it took to fund my loan. Thanks, Brandon M. read more

Great service. Gave easy online selection of personal loan debt consolidation for not just lending tree but other companies. I went with one of the another companies listed to finance my loan. That provided no fees and lower interest. This service made it easy to shop. read more

If you want a Home Equity loan don't fill out a thing. All alleged parties for home equity were in bate and switch trying to sign up for refinance. When I called Lending Tree they said we provide lenders with similar products. In their definition that means any loan on your real property so it makes no difference if they waste your time with something you don't want. Then of course is the calls from everyone in the universe. NO BATE AND SWITCH LENDING TREE read more

First they provide a fake credit report (mine was 100 points above the real number), then you receive quotes (non-stop email, text, and phone calls for 2 weeks) that are not in alignment with your credit score so none of them are valid. Stay away, far away from Lending Tree - what a nightmare!!! read more

This business wasted my time. In my case, I was looking for the best rate on a HELOC for home improvement. The Lending Tree people took my info, said there would be no problem considering the data I gave them, then the first company they referred me to said none of the companies referred by Lending Tree give HELOCs to people whose houses are paid off! My bank of 30 years told me just the opposite, that the HELOC lender naturally prefers being first in line to be paid. read more

Yikes. I never completed the application but still received over 100 calls in 3 days. Even when I asked the lenders to take me off their list, some keep calling. Very frustrating. read more

Wow. A negative stars situation here. Protected by a page and half of disclaimers, when you work your way through LT's system looking for basic re-fi numbers, you end up sending your information to a network of 100's of 'subsidiaries' that ALL PUT HARD INQUIRIES ON YOUR CREDIT. It is classic bait and switch. As well, within SECONDS of clicking submit (with the expectation of receiving a list of common interest rates) you will receive an avalanche of phone calls, texts, and emails that only stop when you call LendingTree and ask them to remove your information. But that does NOT stop the subsidiary inquiries from touching your credit. EVEN IF you don't directly approve them running your credit. Please stay away. For your credit score and your sanity. Go to your local credit union or something. That's what I should have done. read more

Avoid, avoid, AVOID lendingtree.com AT ALL COSTS. They lure you in my entering your details online with the premise that you will see the information online. The minute they have your phone number and email - BOOM!! - all hell breaks loose. Phone calls, emails, text messages from lender representatives. Its unrelenting and totally misleading as at no time during the signup do you get asked "can we contact you??" To top it all off, lendingtree.com representatives are RUDE and condescending. NEVER EVER WILL I USE THEM IN THE FUTURE. Apart from that they're great :) read more

so, i had inquired about homes for sale in dallas area. then i filled out a form for lending tree and boy the calls and emails started coming and i kept telling them i am not in the market! they continued to phone my job. this morning when they called i picked up the phone, as i was having in a meeting in my office. so i grabbed it and just said i am not in the market to buy a house and hung up. so this was what the idiot sent me! that was not a nice way to respond barry blount barry.blount supremelending.com this guy has some nerve??? barry blount senior loan officer 972-447-5637 direct 214-461-0709 fax 14841 n. dallas pkwy -suite 250 dallas, tx 75254 email: barry.blount@supremelending.com website:http://barryblount.supremelending.com nmls #216075 mortgage banker read more

The process was easy and I was pleased to receive 14 loan offers after entering just some basic information. After studying my offers I selected the offer that made the most sense for my situation. Loan origination fees vary greatly, so choose carefully. The process continued to be easy after selecting my lender. I was fully funded within 24 hours! read more

I made the mistake of looking around on their web page. I immediately got a million spam calls, texts, and emails. Also they ran my credit, so now I have a hard inquiry on my credit report. Such a scam. I read multiple reviews starting with the worst, hoping that those reviews would not outweigh the good. Unfortunately they did. My advice to any consumer looking to calculate some better mortgage rates is to go to an actual credit union or lender. They don't need to run your credit to give you a ballpark figure. I should have known better. I will NEVER use Lending Tree....ever! Don't bother unless you want to be harassed and have your credit bruised for no reason. read more

Where's the ZERO STAR option? Just want everyone to know that we began the process with Lending Tree online only 30 minutes ago. Two agents called within minutes and then HUNG UP on us because we didn't provide our SSN both online on their massive mill of a website and then to the agents on the phone in a cacophonous call center as STEP 1. When was the last time you threw out your SSN like that? When was the last time you were HUNG UP on by anyone representing a supposedly reputable company? Obviously, this process that ultimately involves hundreds of thousands of dollars should be collaborative, thoughtful and confidential with TRUST as STEP 1. LENDING TREE is a tangled mess of a mill of insulting unqualified representatives and is completely deplorable. I can't believe they are credentialed. Frankly, it feels criminal. read more

Whatever you do, DON'T DON'T DON'T make an inquiry on their website. They give out your phone number and you will be hounded to death. One of the dozens of numbers calling me called 4 times in half a day. I've blocked at least a dozen numbers on my phone. By the way, I never post bad reviews, but I am searching the net for places where I can post this one. read more

This website sucks! I was told this site would provide a list of rates per specific lender and my phone has not stopped ringing. I mean call, after call, after call! It's ridiculous! I give it 2 thumbs down and I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to be harassed and told they don't have a call list to take you off of, then this is the site for you! read more

I have used LT in the past successfully. I NEVER WILL AGAIN. In the past when I asked for quotes, I got 3-4 calls or emails back, took the offers to local lenders (which they could never match) and all was fine. This time I was INUNDATED with calls and emails to the point that I have had to BLOCK NUMBERS. I stopped counting at 25. Who the hell would put themselves through this nonsense? LT took a great idea and ruined it. AVOID. read more

I was so deceived by website with this company. It was implied that I could view auto refinance rates if I gave some info up front. It mentions "you may get calls from lenders" but still implied you would get to see info online in privacy of your home. WHAT A FREAKING NIGHTMARE AND DECEPTION THIS IS! Nothing showed up with rates, instead 10-15 phone calls per/day as well as text messages and emails from companies in every state! I have even had two of the companies state "we are processing your application" WHAT APPLICATION??? I HAVEN'T APPLIED FOR ANYTHING!!! So, if you want your personal information distributed to every company they possibly can and receive unending calls/texts/e-mails morning, day and night...use Lending Tree. read more

Have filed a complaint with bbb and state AG office. The website does not give you comparisons, instead you get a flood of calls and harassment from different banks. The calls will be nonstop from dozens and dozens of lenders, most of which seem shady. Total scam. read more

I wish i can give 0 rating to Lending Tree. They just see the area code of the number and started calling without knowing person can move to other timezone too. All the info you provide on website will never carry over and everybody ask for same things again. I donot know what they gona use with Social security i gave on website. they are so greedy that giving customer detail to freaking everybody in the US. Worst service i ever used in US.. PLZ people never use this.. read more

Terrible! Misleading information with wrong reviews for lenders. I was literally rejected by lenders while was still filling out the application form on their website! It is more than obvious they sell your information to third parties with no intention whatsoever for a loan consideration. I got 2 emails declining my loan application from the ONLY two lenders they offered within 5 min of submission! Absolutely automatic responses with no intention for giving loans. Avoid at all costs! read more

I I could give this a no star I would. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM LENDING Tree. I kid you not I wake up to almost 15 new pre approved loans from various companies and never get the loan. One of the worst so called lender is a company called UBI cash. If you read their long statement ( which I did) the fist couple of lines says the loan would come from an Indian tribe some where in Wisconsin. And then it gave me food for thought. I applied door 5000( long shot) but only got 500 then then only 400. It seemed kind of shady to me so I just canceled my approved loan. I cold have used my credit card for that amount. Beware of loan me too. Got my break down of my loan. I pay 332.59 on 4000 loan. And for the 6 payments none goes to principle. Trust to say these loans will be paid off by Christmas. I truly hope this helps someone. Read the long agreement before signing anything. Ask customer service if u don't understand something. They count on you not reading the long agreement read more
