What customers are saying: unexpected expense loan reviews
”One of our high interest credit cards had gotten out of hand and was siphoning funds away from our savings goals. It was a responsible step for us to set up a personal loan that will be paid off in a set time period at much less interest. Because of Upgrade, I can now see our family living debt-free.”
