    I applied for an online personal loan of $5000. I received an email contract with a quote and several phone calls to a loan *** named **** *************** manager ***** **** with several different phone numbers. **** ***** has these phone numbers *****************/388-4524, 609/728-9508. ***** **** has this phone number ************. The contract says that the company is inn *******, **. ***** told me he was in *******, ********. The contract reads that I will have to pay taxes but nothing about having to pay any of these fees upfront. So far I have paid over $1611+ in fees & now they want an additional $840. Every time I had to pay a fee they said it was the last ******** was told to send the fees by ******* money card because I wouldnt give them access to my bank online credentials. I have all conversations, contract & receipts in writing, If i had known Id have to pay these fees upfront I wouldnt have asked for a loan. I now feel this is a ********* money is stolen. I asked them for receipts showing the paid *********** will not produce them. I asked them to cancel my contract & refund my money. They are saying it cant be canceled even though it hasnt been funded & refuse to send me my money back & are stalling with all kinds of lame excuses.. I have checked the money ************ cant Be located or any info detailing anything. I think these guys are scammers & have stolen my identity, my info, address, bank account number, routing number, social security number, employer & etc. I need to file this ***ort about them & need BBB help please ****. I did file a ***ort with ************************************ & also the ***/ ***.

    Hello *******,

    We recently noticed that you have filed a complaint concerning a loan matter with a company called "LightStream". We'd like to clarify that our company, Lightstream, provides live-streaming software services for businesses, podcasts, talk shows, and console gaming. We do not have any association with loan services or any financial lending activities.

    It appears there may have been a misunderstanding. We suspect that your complaint might be intended for a different company named LightStream that provides loan services. You can find more information about them here: *************************************

    We recommend reaching out to them directly for assistance regarding your loan issue.

    I purchased a subscription from this company in August of 2020. I sent the first email to discontinue the subscription on April 12, 2021. I have sent several emails to stop the subscription, but with no response. They continue to debit my account in the amount of $25.00 each month. The phone number on file is not correct and I am getting no response. I have reached out to my bank as of 10/2/22 and asked them to put a stop payment. However, I want the money refunded to me from May of 2021 until now in the amount of $375.00.
