So I actually tried the product unlike 99% of commenters here and here is my feedback:
- The custom dropdowns made it more difficult for me to sign up because you can't use keys on the keyboard to jump to different locations in the lists like you can everywhere else.
- The mechanic to change the monthly payment I can afford on the plan you guys laid out for me was horrible. Clicking the arrow repeatedly to change a numeric value? At least having the option to edit it by typing would be nice. I had to click a lot to change the amount from $10,000 (which I initially input) to $300.
- I can't possibly take the plan seriously when one of the cons is "Risk of lawsuit" with no other details.
- Love the general concept. As someone with some debt, this could help me.
- It pulled up my debts FAST after I filled out the initial form. Almost frighteningly fast. I was impressed, then pretty worried that you might be skirting laws and regulations surrounding pulling this type of information. With nothing more than my SSN and basic personal details (address, etc) you handed me very detailed information about my debts on a silver platter. Most companies verify the identity of a user before this step with some kind of an intermediate challenge step.
Thanks for the advice, we'll definitely fix a lot of this stuff in the coming releases over the next couple of weeks, keep your eye out! and thanks for giving us a shot.
The identity verification is the Name + Address + SSN match, which is all that's required for presentation of the data that we showed you. If you wanted to see your score or more detailed repayment history information there would be a short identity verification quiz
