Unethical marketing practices
How does this company know my email address if I've never done business with them? Totally unethical business marketing practices.

The process required me to have a US social security number, which I don't. Fine. So I just didn't go through with it. But Lendistry now keeps sending me spam to push me to finish my application. I have responded and told them why it's literally impossible for me to do so, but their representative clearly ignored the shit out of my email and kept sending me spam anyway. The spam does not display any unsubscribe button. Instead, it reads "Please note: This is not a promotional email." lol yes it is you dipshits.

Lendistry might have been good in the past but not for our business in 2025, they dragged the process for 1 month and kept asking for documents we have sent multiple times. We didn't apply for any other loans as we were waiting for Lendistry and then they decline us...for not sending documents, we did multiple times , wasted our time as business owners.

Lendistry strung us along for 2 months. Originally stating we were approved for one loan amount then changing that to only half the amount we were expecting once the process began finalizing. This loan was in regards to purchasing another business. We were pressured to accept this new loan and terms within 3 days of finding out the amount had changed so drastically. On day 3 we were scheduled to meet with the other business owner in order to discuss this new amount and find out if it would even work for them. We could not meet sooner. We asked Lendistry to please give us one more day so that we could make an informed decision. The declined and denied our application at that point stating we could reapply at any time and our application would be fast tracked. With this information, and knowing we had already been approved for that smaller amount we didn't foresee any other issues. Part of this business purchase required us to sell our home in order to move to the new business location, which we did. Upon reapplying with Lendistry our application was not "fast tracked". It sat there for 7 business days "in review" until I called and said something. At that point they informed me via email that the application was denied because my credit had now dipped below the 700 amount needed for the loan. It was below because we had some hard inquiries recently and I happened to be late on paying 1 credit card 1 time and it happened to be reported on the day that they were checking credit for this second app. I called to ask to speak to someone about our negative experience and they could not find a number or email for me to send my complaint. The person that took my call was very nice and said that he would find someone to help me escalate the issue and that I should receive a call back. However I am still waiting to hear anything.
