Yes and I do not recommend it to anyone.
My roommate was trying to get a loan with them. On 12/7/2009 they told her she needed $800.00 collateral or $1500.00 insurance premium. She choose the $800.00 collateral. The funds were sent via Western Union. She called in the MTCN to the 'loan officer', Ronald, and he assured her the funds would be in her account within 6 hours. The next day the funds were still not in her checking account. Once again she called, this time they told her because of her credit, the lender would need additional collateral, $700.00. Because her need is so great and she now needed the proceeds not only to payoff bills but also the people that helped her with the collateral, she said yes and scrambled to come up with $700.00. This too was sent via Western Union to the lender, MTCN called into 'customer service', Colin, again she was assured this was it. The funds were to be in her account in 2 hours.
No deposit was made, so at 8am 12/09/2009, she called 'customer service', Colin, again, now he told her she had to come up with $1000.00 for insurance!! At that point totally frustrated she asked for a refund of the total funds already sent. She was told a refund would be issued in 30 days.
Several calls have been made to Norel Capital. She was always asked to call back in 30 minutes. On one call she contacted her 'loan officer', Ronald, and asked if she could speak to Mr. Thomas Leah or Mr. Charles Cogertly to see if she could get anywhere further, he told her they were in a meeting but she could leave a message with 'customer service', Colin. She called back and got 'customer service', Colin, and was told that Mr. Thomas Leah is not expected back in the office for at least 3 1/2 weeks. When she persisted on talking to Mr. Charles Cogertly she was told he was not in the building and was hung up on.
The last report as of 2pm on 12/09/2009:: the refund is being processed, it will take 30 days, and there is no one that can access the loan file other than Ronald who says he no longer as access because it is 'ready' to be funded and Colin who is requiring more money.
We have contacted an attorney.
