The office was in a charming historic building in down town Providence. Everything from the hallways to the elevator to the pendulum clock in the office just reminds of a more classical time in the history of Providence, perhaps a better time. Nikki is very kind and welcoming. She has a positive attitude. We sat with her and her father, Larry. They know how to ask all the right questions and they gave us a detailed and thorough consultation. I was really impressed with their professionalism. Best of all, the consultation was FREE! And here is how I know Nikki and Larry are trustworthy. They advised us against a specific business plan and showed us its shortcomings, although they could have made lots of money doing the paperwork for us. This shows integrity. Larry showed me how to do a simple task at city hall that would cost me a mere $10 instead of something that would have cost around $1000 a year. Give them a try and judge for yourself!

I'm now living in Manhattan despite having student loans, a miracle in itself. 5 stars for this guy and his staff. Extensive knowledge, very attentive staff (I tend to ask a lot of questions), and very easy to work with. I'm a fan.

I was referred to Capital Good Fund by an online car search site, and I was skeptical at first. My…read morecredit and income isn't excellent, but I'm a decent, hardworking person and decided to give them a chance to help me. There were so many other outfits offering short-term financing, my email inbox was being bombarded with offers with very high interest rates in the fine print. I was really concerned about getting ripped off. I'm glad I was able to get a pre-approval letter from Capital Good Fund. I had all the documents, but sometimes their communication about specifically what they needed wasn't clear in the first instance, but they were patient until I was able to provide them with what they needed to secure my loan approval. It was a longer process than I expected; it took more than a few weeks after I signed a purchase agreement with a dealership to close the loan, but I am certain a hasty process to get financing through the dealership would have resulted in a financially damaging decision. I was concerned at the end of the process with Capital Good Fund that a "mistake" which increased the expected interest rate of the loan over what I expected from the pre-approval letter was going to break the deal. They apologized and corrected the error, but I'm not sure what they would have done had I signed the incorrect contract. In summary, get all your documents (paystubs, utility bills, license), get pre-approved, shop around to get a good price on the car you want, get your insurance binder with the lender as lienholder, make sure you demand a copy of the signed sales agreement, and most of all, don't make the mistake I did of handing over your trade and taking delivery of the car until the loan is closed, even if you have to wait a while, it will only make you nervous until you sign, and the dealer will likely hound you for delays you have no control over. It probably would have been better to tell the dealer I didn't need their "backup" financing, which will cost you thousands more if you end up needing it. If the dealer pressures you to do otherwise, buy your car somewhere else. Good luck, and thanks Capital Good Fund for helping me meet my goals.

The…read moreinterest rate is high, and I didn't have too many problems on my credit that I didn't get fixed quickly, but again, almost every other loan grantor was giving me a hard time, and CGF didn't. I can't say that their process was very timely (the dealership called me every day for three weeks asking when they were going to get paid), but as far as the other review purporting them to be a scam, I just don't see it. I mean, if your credit is completely destroyed or your income isn't so great, then they would be foolish to loan you money. Overall, a pretty good company. I can't speak for every situation, but they helped me out in a time of need and I've recommended my friends to them based on their no BS methods. I can't say that I'll run to them the next time that I need a loan if they can't offer me a lower interest rate, but if they can, they have my business for sure.

She was so patient, kind, and really took the time to help me--which, honestly, isn't always the experience I've had with Citizens Bank. I've been putting off dealing with some banking issues for way too long because, in the recent past, I haven't always gotten the help I needed. One of the biggest problems was a debit card issue that had actually left me without access to my own money at times while I've been traveling for work. I had tried to get it resolved before at another branch inside Stop & Shop, but they were zero help. Lexi, on the other hand, not only listened but actually figured everything out and got it done! Even when something wasn't straightforward with my banking app, she found a way to get me the contact I needed. If you need real help, go see Lexi if you can! She's the kind of person who actually cares and makes sure you walk out with a solution. Thank you so much, Lexi!!
