Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Complaint:
Prosper does not offer any deferment options for actual life events. 

I recently experienced a death in my family and when i became apparent to me i would not be able to make a payment i called prosper to request a deferment l, i offered to send documents of funeral arrangements to prove i was not lying and my relationship to the deceased. 
Payment are due on the XXXX  of every month XXXX XXXX i was told to call back the day after the payment was due. To make a payment arrangements but nothing could be done ahead of time. 

XXXX The 2nd time I called exactly as i was told and they told me actually no such options are avaliable and a payment reduction isnt even an options til you are 15 days late.. 

Now i receive calls twice a day to remind me the payment that i am not able to make, is due. It is unbelievable that prosper chooses to ignore life events such as deaths in the family they are unplanned! As if I'm not grieving and dealing with enough. i can now look forward to their harassment about a situation i tried to address and avoid.. 

The representative are nice enough i understand it is company policy but to be so rigid is disheartening. Most lenders offer deferment options for situations like this, i have never missed a payment before and its a XXXX shame that this is the situation prosper has led us to due to inhuman " company policy ''.

PROGRESSIVE MGMT SYSTE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$3100.00} {$3100.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I am a XXXX veteran who receives 100 percent medical by and through the VA.. The VA will refer out into the community medical services from time to time .... I had XXXX XXXX XXXX throughout most ofXX/XX/XXXX, that were done through XXXX XXXX. 

In order to receive these services, XXXX received preauthorizations through the VA, prior to, and before doing any medical care. 

Somehow, or some way, XXXX decided to start harassing me for what little of my medical bills they feel they didn't get paid for. I have talked to them numerous times, and they tell me they will take care of the problem, but instead have forwarded collections to this Progressive Medical ( above ) In spirit XXXX agrees that I was not in the authorization chain, and that procedures were authorized through XXXX and the VA ... .. But yet, they are harassing me, and reporting bad credit. As a last resort I am reporting this matter to you, as nothing seems to deter these characters ... 

XXXX is a fine organizati0n, but once something gets going through their system, seems no human can stop or override it. As far as Progressive, they are obnoxious, as most of those type companies are but are only doing their job as XXXX gave them these balances to collect. 

Help! XXXX XXXX

XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern : The credit information currently on my credit report contains an entry showing a closed account XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX acknowledge that I was unable to fulfill the terms of the account agreement by failing to properly adhere to the monthly payments. In late XX/XX/XXXX, I was involved in a serious financial hardship that resulted in reduction of work hours my inability to make payments for several months. 

During the period of my recovery, I struggled to maintain my financial obligations and had missed payments. I have since been carefully budgeting and satisfying all of my monetary responsibilities and payments to improve my credit score. 

It would assist me tremendously if you could make a goodwill adjustment that delete these negative account entrys from my three credit bureau reports. This is a closed account that represents a past failure that I am hopeful will not continue to hinder my future. 

Thank you for your consideration.
