Republic Finance, Tyler, TX

I currently have a small loan through this company. I recently decided to refinance the loan to help build my credit further. After obtaining all of the documentation that they should have already had on file, (including the fact that I'm a truck driver and I've been with my current job for almost five years) they wanted a list of assets to use as collateral against the loan should I default. This seemed extremely odd to me because I didn't have to do this with the initial loan. Come to find out the loan wasn't financed through them. Something I should have been made aware of at the time. Now they want to know anything of value I may have at my house(let's not even talk about how sketchy that sounds). My advice is do not use them unless it's as a last resort.
