LoanGiant.com license to lend revoked
By Tom Henderson

The state’s Office of Financial and Insurance Services announced Monday that Commissioner Linda Watters has signed a consent order revoking the state license of World Wide Financial Services Inc. and imposing substantial fines against the Southfield-based insurance company.

...

“LoanGiant was a super-sized bad actor,” Watters said in a press release. “Their activities eventually caught up with them, and today I am proud to announce that the hard work of OFIS and [our] legal team has paid off for the Michigan consumer.” ...

When I worked for Rock, I loved taking their customers.. It was easy.. very easy. They were such Sheisters (sp).

I found it funny that a couple years ago they defaulted on the mortgage on their building or was it the lease, either way.. How can I pay you and you can't pay your bills...

Those commercials were QUITE annoying with the bouncing ball singing Lean on me, lol

Yeah, all those commercials were designed to help the "Common Joe" out of pure altruism.

I actually like the Gordy commercials.

The Rock Financial and Patriot Financial commercials and associated songs completely enrage me, however.

A hypothetical, Gordy vs Golden in a dance-off.

When I hear the Rock Financial radio commercial with that awful metal guy screeching "it's time to liiiiiive ...yeah!" all I can picture is somebody's mullet-haired brother in law getting the gig to write the theme song.

Just what'll get me to call, some lame '80s style metal.
