Kingswood Lending is a fraudulent company. They prey on students looking for loans to pay for college. After completing an application they tell you that your loan has been approved. However, you must first pay 7 months of interest on the loan before you receive the loan amount that they will wire into your account. Fortunately, I looked up the address they gave me 75 Beattie Pl, Greenville SCand called the property management company for the building they claim they lease and the Florida Realty Investments never heard of the company. In fact, suite 205 doesn’t even exsist! Students please be on alert for this scam. There telephone number is 888-615-8496. However, I imagine they change their telephone number and mailing address weekly.

As soon as they asked for money for a loan I knew they were bastards….I tried to get as much information as I could from them so I could post their “BULL” on line! Here is what I got!
As Andi stated above….they are a fraudulent company. Same address and phone number, but they have dropped the suite number! A person going by the name Paul J. Forbes will end up asking that you send “up front” money to them as a “good faith” pay back promise and your money will be deposited into your account the next day…You are to send the money to a person in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada: Her name is Denise Garza!
Once again the company’s name is Kingswood Lending Group @ 75 Beattie Place, Greenville, South Carolina Zip 29601. The will ask that you send money for a loan to Denise Garza in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Be careful and God bless!

Watch out for these horrible people.I was ready to send in my “down payment” money when I did a google search on them.Thank God I did!!My story is very similar to the others.The person I was dealing with was Rita Shepard.Be warned—they are good on the phone.Later I found out they had not even done a job reference check on me.After I became suspicious,I told them I would drive there to complete the loan process.I was then disconnected.If you are contacted by them-notify the authorities–these SCUM need to be stopped.
