"Check MY Rate" = Inquiry? Or no
OP: August 13, 2013, 11:00:00 PM
If I want to "check my rate" (ie, what rate LC would give me if I wanted to take out a loan) would that result in a hard credit pull on me?

Thinking about finding out what they'd offer me, although not so much if its going to result in a credit check even if I dont actually get a loan from them in the end.

wow that is interesting.

and if i actually proceed and get the loan, then they do a second look and a hard pull? or is it again only a softpull without ANY hard ?

I wonder why they ask you to estimate your score if they're going to do a soft pull anyway.  What CRA do they pull?  I was going to try it just now but they don't allow my state.   I hope the IPO solves that because I'm sick of not being allowed to do stuff.

Fascinating.

My score is in the high 700's.

they offered me an A1 rate.

Now I have to decide whether I really want it or not :)

Yep, thats what I decided to do. I have over 50k in various LC accounts, all averaging returns between 11% to 14%

Borrowing at their A1 rate on a 3 year term, the spread will be good enough to make it worth while. I can pay off the loan at any time so no real risk for me.

I never realized there is NO hard inquiry on borrowers. thats pretty amazing actually.

Also, another thing I find fascinating is WHO is funding my loan

So far, I see the following; big concentration from CA. Too bad I cant see how much each person is putting in.

I have to say that unfortunately, I'm finding the approval process somewhat frustrating and annoying.

When I filled out the initial app, I was immediately offered the A1 rate. Loan hit the platform same day, and by the next day, my loan was 100% funded.

During the funding process, I was asked to verify bank account and phone number... easy enough, no problem, done.

Then I was asked to prove my home address (providing a recent utility bill) ok, also easy, done.

Now I'm being asked for other info. I'm sure shortly, they will want employment and income verification.

I dont get it, why is this being done so piecemeal? I dont want to get an email every day asking me to log in and submit more info. Why couldnt they just have requested everything in 1 shot?

I'm still quite confident I'll end up being approved (and if not, I'm going to become beyond pissed off)... it just seems like an inefficient approval process to me.
