Complaint narrative:
Prosper Funding LLC responded to my complaint but did not provide the documents as i requested. If there is an legitimate debt that is owed there should be accounting records for this transaction. 16 CFR 433.1 states that a purchase money loan is received in return for the finance charge therefore Prosper Funding LLC did not loan anytthing but actually received a cash advance this is false misrepresentation. If this is not true produce the records that prove otherwise I am not asking for a simple contract but official accounting records. It is my belief that Prosper has failed to properly account for the proceeds of this transaction.
